Lets start with Pros. Handle fits your palm like a dream, i used Korbel and that blade was a dream however i bought this one because Korbel updated its version and now it feels like a cheap ugly blade " dont know why they change the design because they made it worse" However that's other topic. Handle is smooth and and easy to hold and it gives you so much feel when hitting the ball. Control of this blade is lovely even when i used BryceHighSpeed, Rhyzm 48 and Donic BlueFire M1 those rubbers just gave me more feel rather then speed. Talking about speed pairing Hadraw Sk with these tensors would make this blade your favorite, as this blade is OFF - i would say it makes perfect balance with fast rubbers. It gives you feel to do whatever you want with that ball. Speed of this blade is well balanced. Paired With Rhyzm 48 this soft blade gives lovely feel you can play close and far from table. There is not downsides i would say and improvement that Butterfly could make. The weight of this blade meant to be 85 grams, mine came as a 95 however with the handle shape it felt lighter due to comfort i say. The price is high but for this top end blade its nothing, i think this blade is for players that tend to get too fast blades like Viscaria and need more control rather then speed and for someone who is developing into being top class player and uses ALL round blade. If you do have money to spend please do get this instead of Viscaria or Timo Boll ALC as this would give you a taste of what Table tennis really is all about.

When I tried to play in defence with long pimples on BH I found that I'm not very found of slow def blades, so tried to found off- blade for myself... So I found Hadraw SK, it's really very good allrounder, inverded rubbers, long or short pimples (long/short chops or close to the table attack), all plays nice with this blade, it's have great control on any type of play... So overall it's IMHO a blade for a players that want to keep ball in play as long as possible, it's not a blade for total attack style at all...
