Lim Jonghoon Signature Blade

[RefereeNumber2]

Apparently LJH was using a blade with what looked like an Outerforce ALC handle recently.

That, along with the top ply on this new signature blade looking like ayous (it’s definitely not limba or koto), I’m going to put two and two together and predict this signature blade is modeled on the Outerforce ALC.

Another version of Viscaria

handle looks bad

Failed rage bat lmao but everyone is allowed their opinion

Those are pretty thick koto outer plys, i wonder if prod versions will be beefed up like that? Handle looks sweet, but complementary colors always look good.

Player Im Jong-hoon will use the new butterfly racket starting from the Star Contender Doha 2026. It seems sales will begin this summer. According to wata on X
It seems that the koto layer is thicker than usual. Maybe more control oriented than a regular viscaria?

Doesn’t it look like a limba outer layer? Similar to the mizutani zlc blade but an alc version

good design, but I wonder what sets it apart from the ALCs out there, or Butterfly just want to tackle the Korea market more. IMO making a LSD (Lysergic acid diethylamide) blade sounds much cooler

Thank you for proving yourself. For someone who didn't know Tiger Woods and FSQ, it comes as a surprise you know LJH and OJS. How much do you really know about table tennis?

Outer ply looks like ayous, same as Outerforce ALC. Listed thickness is also same as OFALC, 6.2mm. The main difference seems to be that LJHA has the Harimoto/Ovtcharov headsize (158x152) vs the standard Butterfly 157x150

Lim Jonghoon used a viscaria super alc, strange this one is normal alc

Not just a normal ALC, but based off the OF ALC. crazy big difference
