Overview
Butterfly lists the Viscaria Super ALC as an offensive shakehand blade with 5-ply + 2 Super ALC construction, 12.1 reaction, 10.1 vibration, an 89 g average weight, and a 157 x 150 mm head. The product page calls it the first blade equipped with Super Arylate/Carbon.
Construction and context
Butterfly's blade specification chart abbreviates the material as SALC (Super ALC), while the product page uses the expanded Super Arylate/Carbon term. These are manufacturer construction labels, not independent evidence of a specific feel, speed, or playing result.
Who it may suit
This entry can help a shopper compare the published head size, thickness, average weight, handle dimensions, material label, ply count, and catalog property fields against other exact blade records. Such fields do not establish individual suitability.
Specifications in context
- 5-ply + 2 Super ALC
- This is Butterfly's published construction label for this model and distinguishes its stated material configuration without independently testing its effect in play.
- 12.1 reaction and 10.1 vibration
- Butterfly defines these as its own blade property values; use them as manufacturer-published comparison fields rather than third-party measurements.
Tradeoffs and caveats
- Butterfly lists 89 g as an average weight and notes that blade weight can differ with humidity and temperature.
- FL and ST handle options have different published dimensions; confirm the selected handle version before purchase.
- Reaction and vibration are Butterfly catalog property values, not independent scores, review ratings, or a prediction of a playing outcome.
