External Review for Butterfly BalsaCarbo X7 22 on August 17, 2023

I have been using this blade for 7 months now. I used to play with the BTY Gergely for about 10 years before I stopped playing. When I resumed playing in October 2022 after a 6-year hiatus, I was uncertain about which blades or rubbers to choose. Due to my tennis elbow, I wanted a lightweight blade, so I opted for this one, which is also reasonably priced. Initially, I paired this blade with R45 on both sides, and I loved it. While it was a soft setup, it was perfect for me as I was getting back into the game. The blade offered a lot of control; it wasn't extremely fast but was fast enough for my needs. I prefer a controlled style of play, so this suited me well. Consequently, I purchased a second blade. Now, I'm using R53 on the forehand and T05 on the backhand. I adore this combination as it provides both control and the necessary speed when required. It performs exceptionally well both close to the table and at a distance, given you have good technique. It's a thick and relatively fast blade, weighing around 73g. I think I'll stick with this for a while.

External Review for Butterfly BalsaCarbo X7 22 on April 25, 2023

Very impressed by this blade. After a quite long search and after trying various blades, I will probably stick with this one for a while. Carbon blades are normally to stiff and rigid for me. This blade however gives me loads of feeling and control. Especially in short game and touch game it plays very easy. What stands out to me the most is the consistency of this blade. First time I tried a balsa blade and it just feels right. Flat hits are decent, looping feels just good and blocking is dream. Not sure what type of rubbers would suit best for this blade. I am play Rasanter42 on BH and Rasanter45 on FH. Works very well so far.
