Butterfly BalsaCarbo X7 22 – Lightweight 7‑Ply Balsa Blade

The Butterfly BalsaCarbo X7 22 is the best of both worlds, combining the soft feel of balsa wood with the added stability of carbon fiber. This 5W+2C blade utilizes a thick balsa wood center ply in conjunction with two carbon plies, allowing players to maintain exceptional touch without sacrificing power. The lightweight design makes it easy to generate high swing speeds, while the soft feel ensures effortless blocking and precise over‑the‑table play.

The BalsaCarbo X7 22 is perfect for players who want both power and control. Its balsa construction keeps the blade light enough to pair with heavier rubbers without losing maneuverability. Recommended combinations include Tenergy 64 FX for looping and blocking, or Challenger Attack short pips for a flatter, more disruptive trajectory. Adding Soft Grip Tape enhances comfort and grip, while side tape protects the blade from accidental contact with the table.
