Butterfly Marcos Freitas ALC
Composite/carbon11 reviews
Blade description:
The Butterfly Marcos Freitas ALC is a premium 5-ply blade expertly designed for players seeking a blend of speed, control, and spin. Engineered with a combination of Limba and Arylate-Carbon veneers, this blade delivers a unique playing experience that caters to both aggressive and strategic play styles. With an overall speed rating of 88 and control rating of 85, it offers a versatile performance ideal for looping and counter-attacking.
Weighing approximately 90 grams and featuring a thickness of 5.9 mm, the Freitas ALC strikes a balance between medium weight and solid presence in hand. The blade’s construction provides an excellent feel, attributed to the Limba outer veneers which enhance dwell time and touch, making it particularly forgiving on softer shots. Its moderate stiffness rating of 5.7 delivers a pleasant feedback that helps facilitate a wide range of strokes, from delicate pushes to aggressive loops.
While its performance shines in mid-range play, the Freitas ALC is also versatile enough to adapt to players transitioning from traditional wooden blades like the Korbel or Primorac. Some players have noted its slightly lower arc compared to other ALC models, making it crucial for users to have proper technique, especially when dealing with backspin. For those seeking alternatives, the Butterfly Timo Boll ALC and Viscaria are notable options that share some design elements yet deliver distinct playing characteristics. Overall, the Butterfly Marcos Freitas ALC is a superb choice for players looking to up their game with a reliably responsive and powerful blade.

Pretty low throw and speedy. Found it worked best with tenergy05 and high throw rubbers. Short game had trouble being too low throw and couldn’t flip or push with enough spin over the net. It was a bit hard to open since it was low throw.
Overall, an average blade for those who can open well and like to keep the ball right on the net. Good dwell and feeling over other outer ALC blades.
Would suggest for those who want low over the net shots and like to counter topspin or really hit the ball hard with a bit more open face. Didn’t hate it, but it’s a bit lower arc compared to Viscaria or TBALC. Not safe if you don’t have good technique to lift backspin, everything else seems to play extremely well.
