LSD ALC for sure.

SALC when he wins his first WTTC. SZLC when he wins Olympics.

In web site, it shows already a custom alc, probably it's on production or they are waiting one more championship to release.

It is just a matter of when.
If we remember when FZD got his blade released, it was about 6 months after his WTTC 2021 victory. So it’ll be either 6 months from now, or 6 months until he wins his first WTTC

If they are smart, they should get ahead of the game and give LSD his own blade. It seems like he is going to be a star and champion for many years to come.
Ahem, they were way ahead by signing him back in 2022 (officially started on 2022/6/1) after 2 WTT Series events, even though they chose not to make any announcement, which was rare.

AN OLD BEAST IN A NEW SKIN.

Customizing blades by Butterfly is a mere redesign of blade exterior without any structural improvement -- a newly looking handle attached to a standard paddle.
An old beast in a new skin, so to say.

FZD didn't get his own blade until like 10 years into his professional life.

On the other hand, ML got his blade before his first WTTC title.

I feel Butterfly tends to wait until someone consistently shows his talent for a few years?
But also FZD wasn’t sponsored by Butterfly early on in his career. Harimoto and LYJ got their blades at a relatively young age. It makes sense to give LSD a blade now that he’s Number 2 and more popular now
