Butterfly Kong Linghui Euro
Blade description:
This blade is an all-wood offensive model known for its stiff construction and solid, feedback-rich playing characteristics. It offers a direct feel with minimal vibration, making it highly effective for players who prioritize accuracy in their offensive game. Its performance profile is comparable to classic heavy-duty seven-ply wood blades, providing a stable platform for both aggressive hitting and consistent looping.
Playing Characteristics
- Feel and Feedback: The blade provides a distinct, solid sensation upon contact, accompanied by a sharp, crisp sound when striking the ball cleanly.
- Performance: It excels in close-to-the-table play and mid-distance exchanges, offering excellent blocking stability and high-powered smashes. While it performs reliably in spin-heavy loop drives, some users note a preference for its speed in flatter, aggressive shots or when paired with short pips.
- Throw Angle and Spin: The construction supports a high throw angle, which assists in lifting backspin balls and simplifies looping mechanics. It is highly responsive to soft, high-tension rubbers, allowing for significant spin generation.
- Handling: The flared (FL) handle design is noted for providing good maneuverability during serve execution and delicate touch shots.
Physical Attributes
- Construction: All-wood composition.
- Weight: The blade carries a substantial weight, which contributes to its power and stability during smashes, though this may require careful pairing with rubbers to avoid excessive total weight for the player.
- Stiffness: It is a stiff and hard blade, resulting in a predictable and consistent response that rewards precise timing.

Very good, just like the old Stiga Clipper, maybe just the feeling is better. Speed is excellent and control is very good. Being quite stiff and hard, it works very well with short pips. Overall, highly recommended!
P.S. Generates a huge amount of spin with soft rubbers like Tenergy 80FX, Stiga Calibra LT Sound, or Tibhar Genius Sound. A very aggressive and controllable blade.

I used this blade with Acuda S1 on FH and S2 on BH. It is very good for hitting with a small amount of spin, and absolutely AMAZING for smashing, giving a very nice sound when you hit the ball right. It has good control.
This blade is stiff, feeling only very low vibration when hitting the ball. However, because of its heaviness, I switched to a Timo Boll Forte - FL.

Recommended to me by a Chinese province team player, this blade is well balanced and provides very good feedback. It produces a high throw, which makes backspin balls easy to loop. The blade performs well for looping from close to the table and mid-distance. However, it can be a bit heavy depending on the rubbers it is paired with.
