Overview
Butterfly identifies the Diode Pro Blade as a table tennis blade and lists reaction 9.6, vibration 7.0, five wood plies, approximately 90 g weight, 5.5 mm thickness, and 165 x 156 mm blade dimensions. The official listing also provides FL and ST handle measurements and states that the blade is made in Japan.
Construction and context
The source describes a five-wood-ply blade construction and provides its named catalogue measurements. Those are manufacturer-published product fields rather than independent measurements or a verified outcome for a completed racket.
Who it may suit
This record may help someone compare Butterfly blade listings by their stated ply count, approximate weight, thickness, blade dimensions, handle measurements, and published reaction and vibration figures. It does not establish suitability for a particular setup or player.
Specifications in context
- 5 Wood plies
- This is Butterfly’s published construction field and helps identify the listed blade rather than rating its quality.
- Reaction 9.6 and vibration 7.0
- These are the manufacturer’s published figures and should be compared within its own product information, not treated as independent test results.
Tradeoffs and caveats
- The approximately 90 g figure is a published nominal weight, not a measured weight for every individual blade.
- Reaction and vibration are Butterfly comparison fields, not universal laboratory ratings.
- A bare blade record does not describe the final racket after rubber, glue, and assembly choices.

This record covers Butterfly’s blade listing; confirm the exact included components on the manufacturer’s current product page before ordering.
Are the reaction and vibration figures independent scores?
