Japanese defensive shakehand blade with 5-ply wood, responsive feel, and balanced speed for choppers.
The Butterfly Diode Pro is a defensive shakehand blade crafted in Japan for players who value consistent control and versatile attacking options. Its 5-ply all-wood construction delivers a responsive feel with a measured bounce that rewards controlled technique, whether you’re executing tight chops or launching powerful counter-attacks from the baseline.
Built for defensive specialists and choppers, the Diode Pro balances speed and stability across all strokes. The moderate vibration property (7.0) keeps the ball predictable off your blade, while the high reaction rating (9.6) ensures fast ball response when you need it. At 5.5 mm thick, this blade sits in the sweet spot for defensive play—rigid enough for reliability, flexible enough for feel.
