Butterfly Ishlion

The Butterfly Ishlion is a premier table tennis blade that elegantly balances speed and control, making it a favorite among aggressive players. Constructed with a sophisticated composition of three layers of wood infused with arylate-carbon fibers, the Ishlion offers both power and sensitivity at the table. Weighing in at a remarkably light 76g, this blade enhances maneuverability without sacrificing performance, allowing players to execute fast-paced attacks, deft blocks, and precise control shots.

In terms of specifications, the Butterfly Ishlion is characterized by a medium stiffness (6.7) and a hardness rating of 7.2, providing a balanced feel during gameplay. The blade’s flexibility is particularly noteworthy, offering enough responsiveness for players seeking to inject spin into their shots while still being stable for aggressive maneuvers. This combination facilitates an engaging and dynamic playing style, perfect for those who thrive on quick exchanges and powerful strikes.

The Ishlion excels in its speed rating of 9.6, which stands out in a market where many blades sacrifice control for raw power. Players have lauded its ability to maintain high accuracy, with an impressive control rating of 7.5. This makes it suitable for various playing styles, whether you prefer to play close to the table or execute powerful loops from mid-distance. For those seeking alternatives, options like the Timo Boll Spirit or other carbon blades might be worth exploring, but many players find the Ishlion unmatched in blending speed, feel, and control.
