Butterfly Balsa Carbo X5

Butterfly Balsa Carbo X5 is a popular table tennis blade that is known for its lightweight and soft feel. It is designed for close-to-table play style, but it has sufficient power to produce a strong topspin drive from mid to far. The blade is made of Balsa core and two additional carbon layers that enhance its speed and power. It is a powerful shakehand grip blade for powerful topspin attacking players.

Benefits

The Balsa Carbo X5 offers an exclusively soft feel, which will assist your blocking technique superbly. Thanks to its lightweight, the Balsa Carbo X5 offers better control and makes it easier to create changeable push blocks. With such a design, the blade also makes the handling of the ball inside the table easier. Due to the effect of 2 plies of carbon, the Balsa Carbo X5 does not lack the power required for aggressive play. The middle platform is easy to make a strong rotation, and making a powerful attack is effortless.

Comparison with similar brand models

Compared to other Butterfly table tennis blades, the Balsa Carbo X5 is physically one of the lightest table tennis blades (the weight is only 80 grams) with a big sweet spot. Its durability and consistency are relatively low compared to other Butterfly table tennis blades. Regarding its speed and power, even though Butterfly Balsa Carbo X5 is not the fastest blade, it still offers reasonably fast speed, especially when combining with fast rubbers like Butterfly Bryce Speed FX or Butterfly Tenergy 80. It is very suitable for an offensive close-to-the-table play style since some players may experience insufficient power when playing from a far distance.
