Butterfly Joo Se Hyuk

The Butterfly Joo Se Hyuk table tennis blade is designed for the modern defender who seeks a balance of speed and control. This five-ply wooden blade combines the essence of offensive play with defensive strategies, making it a versatile option for those who engage in all facets of the game. The Joo Se Hyuk blade has a speed rating of 7.2 and exceptional control at 8.5, which allows players to execute precise shots while maintaining the ability to attack when necessary.

Weighing in at approximately 90 grams and measuring 5.9mm in thickness, the Joo Se Hyuk is on the heavier side, which gives it a solid and stable feel during play. However, this weight can be a double-edged sword; while it amplifies power during topspin shots and defensive chops, it may become strenuous during extended play. The blade’s stiffness—rated at 6.1—adds to its durability and responsiveness, sacrificing some flexibility for enhanced offensive capability.

The Butterfly Joo Se Hyuk blade excels at long-range defense and quick counter-attacks. Users have reported that it performs well with various rubbers, especially long pips like TSP Curl P and Feint Long, making it suitable for a range of playing styles. While the blade is praised for its stability and control, the robust design may not suit everyone, particularly those who prefer a lighter, more agile setup. Alternatives for those seeking lighter options include blades tailored for close-to-table play. Overall, the Butterfly Joo Se Hyuk is a high-performing choice that caters specifically to those who blend defensive tactics with explosive attacking maneuvers.
