Butterfly Lim Jonghoon Advance Table Tennis Blade

The Butterfly Lim Jonghoon Advance Table Tennis Blade combines five wood plies with two outer Arylate-Carbon layers, offering offensive performance with an emphasis on moderate rebound, stability, and control. Its slightly enlarged blade head contributes to a reassuring feeling of holding the ball, making it an appealing option for players who want the support of an ALC blade while maintaining confidence in their placement and stroke execution.

The Outerfiber ALC construction provides the responsive character needed for active attacking play. With the Arylate-Carbon layers positioned toward the outside of the blade, the design supports quick counters, attacking drives, and purposeful acceleration. Its moderate rebound keeps this offensive response manageable, allowing players to build pressure through a combination of timing, placement, and their own swing speed.

A defining feature is the slightly enlarged blade head. Butterfly uses this design to enhance stability and strengthen the sensation of holding the ball during contact. For players who value a clear sense of control before the ball leaves the racket, this characteristic is particularly relevant when opening with topspin, adjusting direction, or maintaining consistency through consecutive attacks.

The Lim Jonghoon Advance was originally developed with entry- to intermediate-level players in mind, with ease of use central to its design. Its performance has also earned a place at the professional level through Lim Jonghoon himself. This gives the blade a broad appeal: developing players can appreciate its controlled response, while experienced attackers can use stronger acceleration to produce more demanding shots.

For topspin-based offense, the blade supports an approach built around controlled openings and confident follow-up attacks. Players can establish a rally with spin and placement, then increase the pace as opportunities appear. The combination of ALC reinforcement and a pronounced ball-holding feel suits players who want their attacking strokes to remain connected and deliberate throughout the point.

In close-to-the-table exchanges, compact counters, active blocks, and quick drives fit naturally into its offensive role. The stable response helps provide a foundation for redirecting incoming pace, while moderate rebound gives players room to vary their stroke strength. This makes it relevant to a game that moves frequently between containing an opponent’s attack and taking the initiative.

Players seeking a transition into outer-fiber carbon construction may also appreciate the Lim Jonghoon Advance. Its design offers an alternative for those who want carbon reinforcement without choosing a blade focused primarily on maximum rebound. Rubber selection can further shape the setup, allowing a player to emphasize controlled rally play or a more assertive attacking response.

Made in Japan and used by Lim Jonghoon, the blade brings together an accessible playing concept and the capability to support advanced technique. Its FL handle provides a familiar flared grip for shakehand players. For those who prioritize stability, touch, and the ability to develop their own attacking power, the Lim Jonghoon Advance offers a versatile offensive foundation.
