Madash
Butterfly Madash is a 5-ply all-wood blade designed for players who want a classic feel with modern offensive capability. It strikes a deliberate balance between power for attacking shots and control for precise placement, making it versatile for both close-table exchanges and mid-distance rallies. The construction delivers a solid, consistent performance that appeals to intermediate and advanced players seeking a reliable, high-quality wood blade without composite materials.
This 5-ply construction uses Planchonello outer layers for crispness and speed, Walnut mid-layers for solidity, and a Balsa core for lightness and vibration absorption, working together to enhance control and dwell time.

Technology
Butterfly Madash showcases expert wood selection in its 5-ply all-wood design. The outer Planchonello plies provide density for a crisp feel and enhanced speed. Walnut mid-layers add strength and resilience, forming a solid foundation that boosts control. At the core, Balsa wood offers lightweight vibration dampening, which improves dwell time and creates a balanced, comfortable playing sensation. This thoughtful combination aims to harmonize offensive power with refined control, reflecting Butterfly's blade engineering philosophy.
