Penhold Blades

A direct offensive blade, the JOOLA Hugo Calderano KL-c Outer places out-layer KL-c (Aramid Carbon) composite fibers just beneath hard koto veneers. This composition is designed for aggressive play and gives explosive speed, crisp feel and precise control.

It is part of the Hugo Calderano blade collection, with a 5+2 ply construction - Koto - KL-c - Limba - Kiri - Limba - KL-c - Koto - that provides clear OFF+ speed with agile handling, ideal for fast rallies, powerful counterloops and penetrating drives from mid-distance.

KL-c Composite Technology: KL-c is a proprietary hybrid weave of Aramid and carbon fibers. It blends carbon's extreme stiffness, for maximum rebound and a rigid sweet spot, with Aramid's damping and toughness, for a fuller, less harsh impact.

Placed in the outer layer, KL-c is felt more immediately through the thin koto outer veneer, which creates direct ball contact, higher speed and a crisp OFF+ character compared to the inner KL-c blade.

Target Player Profile: suited for advanced developing and competition players seeking maximum speed, precision in fast rallies, and agile response for counter-attacking styles. Close to the table and at mid-distance the outer KL-c offers great acceleration, and further back it offers high safety.

The Butterfly Viscaria Super ALC blade is the latest advance to emerge from Butterfly's famed R&D department. With increased power and a softer touch, this update on the classic Viscaria blade creates new options for players from everywhere around the table.

To increase the grip on this blade you can add Soft Grip Tape, for more grip and comfort on the racket handle. Adding side tape to the blade is another great choice to extend the longevity of your racket, as it protects the wood in the event it is hit on the table.

The Butterfly Viscaria blade combines the Arylate fibre features of lightness, flexibility, and shock absorption with the carbon fibre features of high elasticity and minimal dissipation of energy. The result is a wonderful combination of power and control, with a sweet spot larger than a traditional all wood blade and softer touch than a standard carbon blade.

This Butterfly table tennis blade is ideal for quick counter-looping right off the bounce, though it is still capable of producing strong shots back from the table. The superior balance of offensive and defensive performance has been proven by the fact that many top players around the world still use it and continue to deliver results.
