Setup lab
Build a European club racket in three searches: a blade, a forehand sheet, a backhand sheet. Each piece keeps its own speed, spin and control — we never average the two rubbers into one triangle. Copy the address bar to share the stack, then change any piece without losing the other two.

Famous setups
Named starting rackets with a URL you can send. Land on the stack, then swap the blade or either wing — the link updates with you.
Butterfly fibre
Innerforce + Dignics 05 / Tenergy 05
The fibre most loopers land on when Viscaria felt harsh. Dignics 05 forehand, Tenergy 05 backhand is the current Butterfly spare-sheet habit.
2010s default
Viscaria + Tenergy 05 both sides
Outer ALC with the Spring Sponge looping reference. Direct first ball, high throw, the combination European shops still mean by “a Viscaria setup”.
2020s Butterfly
Viscaria + Dignics 09C / Dignics 05
Stickier 09C on the forehand, grippy 05 on the backhand. Same Spring Sponge X generation, two topsheets — a common tour split, not a rule.
Named outer ALC
Timo Boll ALC + Tenergy 05 / 05 FX
Viscaria-class outer ALC with a named handle. FX on the backhand is the usual safety step when 36° Spring Sponge felt lively on the shorter stroke.
All-wood OFF
Clipper Wood + MX-P / R47
7-ply wood with two German tensors in the same price band. Stay on wood if Viscaria felt metallic; shop MX-P vs R47 by family, not by one Combined point.
Japanese dwell
Acoustic + Fastarc G-1 both sides
5-ply hinoki-mix wood with Nittaku’s looping tensor. Habit, not physics — G-1 does not require Acoustic — but this is the pairing coaches name for Japanese feel.
Tacky forehand
Innerforce + Hurricane 3 National / Tenergy 05
Selected sticky Chinese forehand, European tensor backhand, inner ALC in between. Combined figures for National are unboosted — the boosted sheet is a different weapon.
After a hobby bat
Allround Classic + Vega Europe both sides
Control wood and the usual first tensor. Do not put Tenergy 05 on this blade and call it an upgrade — hardness and throw are the next conversation, not this one.
Named Innerforce
Harimoto Super ALC + Zyre 03
The named inner-fibre wood with Butterfly’s current high-end inverted both sides — as listed for Tomokazu Harimoto in May 2026. Not Dignics, not Viscaria.
Penhold hybrid
Félix Lebrun Hyper Carbon + K3
Tibhar named carbon with Hybrid K3 both wings. The rubber is a European hybrid, not boosted Hurricane. Penhold is the other half of the copy — shakehand Krypto is Alexis.
Combination racket
Korbel + Rakza 7 / Spectol S1
Wood dwell, Japanese Super Tension on the looping wing, classic Spectol on the hitting wing. Short pips is a second language — not a safer inverted.
Classic chopper
Defensive Classic + Tackiness Chop / Feint Long III
Control 5-ply, sticky chopping inverted, Butterfly long-pip spare. OX versus sponge on Feint is the next shopping fact, not a Combined point.

Side by side
Rubbers are not added to the blade. Each piece keeps its own numbers — spin lives on the sheets, stiffness on the wood.
