About this blade

Butterfly Outerforce CAF is a 7-ply blade built around CAF fibre placed outer, with Ayous on the playing surface and a Kiri core. Its TTDNA profile reads fast — speed 88, control 47, feel 34 — with a stiff response and medium dwell. Physically it measures 6.3 mm thick, around 85 g, 157 × 150 mm head, FL, AN, ST handles. Butterfly positions it for off- play. Ayous: Very light medial or core wood — keeps the blade low in weight and widens the sweet spot. Kiri: Paulownia core — extremely light, damping the stack and slowing the blade down for control. CAF: Carbon-arylate blend — controlled stiffening with a muted, damped feedback.

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.
