Butterfly Chuang Chih-Yuan Limited Edition – FL Handle 93g

Discover the Butterfly Chuang Chih-Yuan Limited Edition, an exceptionally rare special-edition blade created in tribute to Taiwanese table tennis legend Chuang Chih-Yuan. With only 1,000 pieces produced worldwide, this exclusive edition represents a remarkable opportunity for both serious players and collectors of rare Butterfly equipment.

Built with a distinctive Hinoki outer ply and Outer Arylate-Carbon (ALC) construction, this blade combines the refined touch and feel of Hinoki with the speed, stability, and responsiveness of Butterfly's ALC technology. The Ayous inner plies and Ayous core contribute controlled elasticity and balanced feedback, creating a highly capable offensive blade with excellent touch.

The Outer ALC construction positions the Arylate-Carbon layers directly beneath the Hinoki outer plies. This gives the blade a more immediate carbon response on impact, providing excellent stability and power during fast topspin exchanges and counter-topspin play while preserving the distinctive touch of the Hinoki surface.

Designed for modern offensive table tennis, this blade offers a refined combination of speed, stability, control, and spin potential. The carefully selected 93g weight provides a solid and stable feel during powerful topspin exchanges while maintaining the precision required for short play and fast transitions.

The FL (Flared) handle provides a comfortable and secure grip, allowing smooth wrist movement and confident handling during high-intensity rallies. Beyond its playing characteristics, the extremely limited production of just 1,000 pieces gives this model a distinctive level of exclusivity rarely found among Butterfly blades.
