What is CAF?\u003c\/dt\u003e\u003cdd\u003eA. CAF (CA Fiber) is one of Butterfly's special materials. This blade places 2 layers of it toward the outside of a 5-ply wood blade. The manufacturer describes it as a material that gives a feel close to an all-wood blade.\u003c\/dd\u003e\u003cdt\u003eQ. Is this a good choice for a first special-material blade?\u003c\/dt\u003e\u003cdd\u003eA. Yes. The manufacturer recommends it as a first special-material blade, or even as a first blade when starting table tennis. This blade's reaction property of 11.3 is around the middle among our offensive shakehand blades, and its vibration property of 9.1 is low.\u003c\/dd\u003e\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBefore you buy\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul class=\"kidspo-notes\"\u003e\u003cli\u003eThis item is ordered from our supplier after you place your order, then shipped from Japan.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIf it is out of stock at the manufacturer or supplier, delivery may take longer.
