Ishlion

Butterfly Ishlion is a fast blade designed for offensive play. Its carbon construction, specifically the Uniaxial Light Carbon, significantly enhances speed, allowing for powerful drives and smashes. The blade's speed is consistently rated high, making it suitable for players who rely on pace to attack.

Despite its high speed, Ishlion offers a good level of control. The ULC technology provides more feeling than other carbon blades, which aids in managing the ball during serves, pushes, and short game play. Players report it maintains precision even at high offensive tempos.

Ishlion has a harder feel due to its carbon layers and outer wood plies, yet offers more feeling than typical carbon blades. This creates a firm and responsive feel that isn't overly stiff or numb, providing good feedback on ball contact.

The medium-high throw angle is inferred from its speed and looping capabilities. This type of throw angle is beneficial for looping over the net with good arc and depth, making it effective for offensive players.

The combination of wood and carbon layers, along with ULC technology, contributes to a medium dwell time. This allows for sufficient ball contact to generate spin on loops while remaining quick enough for fast attacks.

Ishlion has a medium-stiff flexibility. It is not a stiff, board-like blade nor overly flexible. This balance allows for power generation in strokes while maintaining enough flex for good spin development.

Blades with carbon layers often exhibit moderate to high vibration feedback. Ishlion's construction provides a clear vibration response, indicating when the ball is struck effectively. It's present enough to give players good feedback without being excessive.

Japanese-made Butterfly blades are known for their high quality and precise manufacturing. Ishlion is no exception, with excellent build quality and durability. The ULC technology reflects advanced manufacturing techniques, resulting in a consistently well-crafted product.
