Butterfly Zhang Jike ALC

The Butterfly Zhang Jike ALC is a classic high-performance offensive blade developed in collaboration with Grand Slam champion Zhang Jike, designed for modern loopers who demand explosive power, strong spin, and exceptional control. Built with Butterfly’s proven 5+2 arylate-carbon (ALC) construction, this blade blends the crisp rebound of carbon with the vibration-damping and dwell time of arylate fiber, resulting in a powerful yet refined playing feel.

Featuring limba outer plies and outer-layer ALC placement, the Zhang Jike ALC delivers fast rebound, a clear ball response, and excellent stability during high-speed play. The blade excels in aggressive topspin rallies, counter-looping, and third-ball attacks, offering strong penetration from both close-to-table and mid-distance positions. Compared to inner-fiber blades, it provides quicker activation and a more direct impact feel—ideal for players who apply pressure through speed and timing.

Designed to reflect Zhang Jike’s iconic two-winged looping style, this blade emphasizes balance, consistency, and confidence in fast exchanges. It offers a professional-level combination of power, spin, and control, making it a trusted choice for advanced offensive players.
