Fire Fall LC
Victas Fire Fall LC is a high-performance offensive blade designed for technically skilled players who want a modern attacking game. Its 7-ply hybrid construction combines five wood layers with two inner Line Carbon (ULC) layers, resulting in a remarkably lightweight blade typically around 85-88 grams. This design delivers an exceptional balance of speed, spin potential, and a unique playing feel that bridges traditional wood characteristics with modern carbon elasticity. Engineered for aggressive topspin play, it provides enormous spin generation and a deep ball-hugging sensation, making it ideal for players who pressure opponents with heavy, fast loops from both mid-distance and close to the table.
The construction features a symmetrical 7-ply build with Limba outer layers, Ayous middle plies, a dual Kiri core, and inner Line Carbon fibers placed between the middle and center layers. This specific arrangement contributes to the blade's unique combination of dwell time, elasticity, and wood-like feel while providing carbon-enhanced speed.

✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
Fire Fall LC delivers impressive OFF+ speed thanks to its inner Line Carbon construction. The carbon fibers provide high elasticity and efficient energy transfer, resulting in excellent repulsion and acceleration on powerful shots. Players report a noticeable jump in ball speed, particularly on drives and smashes, making it one of the faster options in its category while maintaining a connected feel.
Despite its high speed, Fire Fall LC maintains remarkable control. The blade's soft initial touch and deep ball-hugging sensation allow for precise serves, returns, and blocks. This balance comes from the inner carbon placement and wood composition, giving offensive players the confidence to execute varied shots with accuracy while maintaining aggressive intent.
Fire Fall LC offers a unique dual-feel experience—soft and forgiving during light contact, then firm and direct on powerful strokes. This medium-soft sensation comes from the Limba outer plies and inner carbon placement, providing feedback similar to a 5-ply wood blade while retaining carbon's responsiveness.
The blade produces a medium-high throw angle that's ideal for aggressive topspin play. This trajectory allows players to create high-arching loops that dip sharply onto the table, combining safety with offensive pressure—perfect for modern attacking styles.
The blade provides excellent dwell time, allowing the ball to sink into the rubber and blade surface for extended contact. This deep ball-hugging characteristic is crucial for generating heavy spin on loops and serves, giving players ample time to impart rotation and control trajectory.
Fire Fall LC exhibits good flexibility that allows it to bend and hug the ball during contact. This flex contributes to both spin generation and power accumulation, creating a dynamic response where the blade feels pliable on touch shots but stiffens effectively for powerful drives.
Vibration is well-managed through the carbon layers, resulting in a relatively muted feel that's not overly harsh. The blade provides sufficient feedback for shot sensing while dampening excessive vibration, creating a comfortable playing experience even during aggressive strokes.
Fire Fall LC showcases excellent build quality typical of Victas products. The materials are well-processed and durable, with precise layer alignment and consistent finishing. Players note the blade feels solid and reliable in hand, with attention to detail in both the playing surface and handle construction that justifies its premium positioning.
Technology
Victas Fire Fall LC utilizes Line Carbon (ULC) technology strategically placed within its 7-ply construction. This inner fiber placement is designed to deliver a playing feel closer to traditional wood blades while retaining carbon's speed and elasticity. The Dyna-core technology for inner fiber construction enhances performance characteristics, creating a blade that offers both deep ball-holding and high-speed ball exit. The design maintains Victas' distinctive graphic identity with splitting imagery and clear branding, representing a thoughtful integration of materials for modern offensive play.
Similar Blades
Victas Fire Fall SC
As the direct predecessor to the LC model, Fire Fall SC shares a similar 7-ply offensive structure but uses Silver Carbon instead of Line Carbon. Players report the SC offers a slightly softer feel and potentially more control, making it a good alternative for those who want similar characteristics with a different carbon response. The LC generally provides lighter weight and slightly enhanced speed while maintaining the series' signature playing philosophy.
Butterfly InnerForce Layer ALC.S
Both blades represent the inner-fiber category designed to blend wood-like feel with carbon speed. While Fire Fall LC uses Line Carbon, the InnerForce ALC.S employs Arylate-Carbon (ALC) fibers. Players who appreciate the softer feel and spin-oriented nature of Fire Fall LC might find the InnerForce ALC.S offers comparable characteristics with Butterfly's signature ALC response and potentially different speed-to-control balance.
