Blade
Butterfly
ViscariaPublic Chinese-language lists often say a special outer ALC (golden Viscaria-type). We map the EU SKU to Viscaria — the recipe, not a national-team special.

The mixed Chinese stack that shops actually understand: National Hurricane 3 forehand, Dignics 09C backhand, Viscaria-type outer ALC.
Reported equipment, mapped onto this catalogue. Not a lab test and not a sponsored list. Personal national-team woods are labelled when the EU SKU is only a sibling. Combined specs on product pages stay unboosted.
Backhand
Butterfly
Dignics 09CWTT Plus: Dignics 09C. This is the modern Chinese mixed stack: tacky FH, Butterfly hybrid BH.
Lin Shidong’s May 2026 rubber list is the one European coaches already know how to copy in spirit: boosted National Hurricane 3 on the forehand, Dignics 09C on the backhand. One wing is Chinese tacky; the other is Butterfly Spring Sponge X with a stickier topsheet.
The blade in Chinese special-wood talk is an outer ALC viscaria-type, sometimes a golden/special mill. The EU SKU we attach is Butterfly Viscaria. That is the recipe in European shops, not a promise that his special plays like the €180 wall bat.
This is the honest “Chinese FH, European BH” fork. Innerforce plus 09C is a milder fibre. Full National both wings is Wang Chuqin’s family, not this one.
