What's the difference between virtuoso - and virtuoso +?
This Will be interesting! I would have serious problem if i had so many to chose from. Better for me if i Do not have so much options. Would never be satisfied otherwise.
Can you elaborate about the grip being to big? Just personal preference? I am asking because from your videos you seem to be a big Guy
I like flatter handles and the Joola handles are too round and thick. My joint damage gives me some of the symptoms of elbow tendinitis and some of that is related to too much stress on the lower fingers holding/gripping the racket if the grip is big and the racket is too head heavy. A lot of what I am trying to do is put less stress on my lower 3 fingers when I use them. Hence my desire for a less head heavy racket.
I really like the Korbel so no one should get it wrong, but if I could find something less head heavy that was the same speed or even slightly faster and still soft, it would win. Some find the Korbel hard but I don't know what they are playing with to be honest.
I think God sent you to post it here@NL
not what you are looking for, but i played with Korbel for more than 10 years, and I changed to Acoustic Carbon Inner which feels very similar but with more power without losing in control and enables more precise touch in the short game. Sounds bizarre ? but that's my feeling, i tested many carbon blades and thats the first time i found something which wasn't too fast and similar in feel to the Korbel
I have read some reviews that Korbel is kinda similar to Yasaka Sweden extra and some of the other Yasaka blades- YEO. Not much mention of Yasaka blades, I wonder why?

The Korbel and the Sweden Extra are both 5-ply all wood frames, that’s true. However, the SE has a much crisper feeling to it.
A number if other Yasaka blades are moderately popular. The Sweden Allround (probably closer to the Korbel, but a bit slower), the Ma Lin series, the Goiabao. All good blades, for different playstyles.
That's pretty much what I was hinting at between the lines, Carl. Thanks!
Butterfly Hadraw VK. The V means 5 ply, the K means like a Korbel. Head size 157x150. Could be exactly what you're looking for.
The Hadraw VK is indeed the smaller head version of the Korbel Japan, same composition. That would also be my recommendation.
Isn't the VK based on the Korbel Speed, with koto as top ply?
How about the core? Is the core thicker in VK?No koto, same limba-limba-ayous-limba-limba composition as the Korbel, just a smaller 157 x 150mm headsize and slightly slimmer at 5.7mm vs 5.9mm.
