Kong Linghui Special

Kong Linghui Special offers solid offensive speed suitable for an attacking style, balancing power with control effectively. It provides enough momentum for strong attacks, though our testing shows it may not have the explosive speed of the fastest modern blades, making it more about controlled aggression than raw power.

This blade is highly praised for its exceptional control, a key characteristic that makes it suitable for players who value precision. The soft feel and good dwell time contribute significantly to its controllability across various strokes, allowing for accurate placement and consistent play.

Arylate-Carbon plies combined with wood layers create a softer feel than typical carbon blades, offering good ball feedback and a comfortable sensation during play. This soft feeling allows for better control and dwell time, making it pleasant for touch shots.

The throw angle is medium-high, which helps in looping backspin balls and executing attacking shots with a good, consistent trajectory that supports offensive play.

The blade has decent dwell time due to its construction and softer feel, allowing the ball to sink into the blade for better spin generation and control. This is especially noticeable in the short game and during looping strokes.

While described as relatively stiff by some, the blade also possesses a degree of flexibility that aids in control and dwell time. This offers a balanced playing experience rather than being overly stiff or rigid, suitable for varied offensive play.

It has a moderate to high vibration level, contributing to its responsiveness and providing good feedback to the player about ball contact. This characteristic helps players feel each shot more distinctly.

Kong Linghui Special features very nice build quality and high-quality construction. Players report a durable blade that has stood the test of time, reflecting Butterfly's reputation for manufacturing excellence and reliable performance over many seasons.
