About this blade
Butterfly BalsaCarbo X7 22 is a 7-ply blade built around Carbon fibre placed outer, with Balsa on the playing surface and a Balsa core. Balsa in the outer layer: Ultra-light core — big sweet spot, very low blade weight and a soft, muted impact. Ayous in the medial layer: Very light medial or core wood — keeps the blade low in weight and widens the sweet spot. Balsa in the core: Ultra-light core — big sweet spot, very low blade weight and a soft, muted impact. Carbon in the fibre layer: Pure carbon — maximum stiffness and speed, with a hard, direct impact. Physically it measures 7.5 mm thick, around 75 g. Butterfly positions it for off+ play.
TTDNA ratings
NormalizedPerformance
Construction
Material properties
Playing profile
A TTDNA blade rating measures how much of the named characteristic a blade has. For descriptive rows — flex, stiffness, vibration, head heaviness, weight, thickness, carbon feel, softness, technique requirement, spin sensitivity — a higher number means more, not better.
TTDNA ratings are normalized comparison values, not laboratory measurements. They are built from published specifications, technical sources and structured product evidence, converted to one 0–100 scale. Where a directly comparable measurement is unavailable, the value is an evidence-based estimate. Overall-style scores are composites of several characteristics. Methodology
