Best Handle and Shape but MK Carbon too fast 😞 Help

[andzejgolot]

MK7 would be good

I received the Blade as part of a partnership, and I was able to compare it with a Viscaria. It was my dream blade, but after several months of testing, I unfortunately find it too stiff and hard for my current game. So I'm looking for a softer and slower alternative.
When you buy a Viscaria, I've seen them weighing anywhere from 75g to 95g; the manufacturing consistency is very inconsistent, which isn't the case with the MK, where all the examples I've seen were around 85g, so the advertised weight is more accurate.
And finally, I was simply saying that when you want something and it's given to you, it's more accessible and has a certain sentimental value.

You can ask Butterfly for a specific weight when you order from them or stores in general here. I don't see the issue with weight.

OK, well, I don't know if anyone knew you were getting blades for free.
Regarding Viscaria though, you can specify a weight when you buy it. I know they weigh differently but I'm not sure about 20g difference, that's at the very extremes and it's not common that every second butterfly blade would be 20g different from the one made just before it, it's the wood that's inconsistent, not the manufacturing.

Do the answers to your questions have to be recommendations only for a specific brand so that you can get it for free?
I don't know where to go from here but it seems the first place you should have gone is to the partner who gives you free stuff and ask the for a blade that matches your requirements because most of the answers here are gonna be useless if you won't even consider buying a blade.
Seems like you should have given all the information at the beginning.

There is also a 5-ply all wood MK ALL, might be worth further inspection.

Not the same handle unfortunnaly, very thin

I had this blade for free but I never say I can't buy a new blade. The question is "do you know a blade with the same handle but with limba 5 or 7 ply allwood construction?". Why change the subject?

Did you consider keep the blade and get slower rubbers?

I tryed with 12 different rubber, and same rubber on different blade, and the blade is the problem. If prefer Limba and more dwell time. Outer carbon have no vibration

I did mention a blade but you dismissed it cos of weight (which isn't an issue since you can specify weight) and because it wasn't free.

Anyway, good luck in your search

Jun Mizutani Major
Almost identical semi-wide handle
only the thumb rest is redesigned to be wider to have better support for thumb and index finger
5 ply allround wood
5.7 thickness
157 x 150 headsize

 

[kapahoo]

Yes, same handle but he have a huge thickness

Do they really have the same handle size? I have an MK7 and the handle is a couple of mm longer than the starndard 100 mm.
If the MK Carbon also uses the longer handle that is something Tibhar should use in their marketing!
MK7 does not have "Made In Japan" printed and have the head seems bigger than standard so I suppose they are made in different factories.

You can replace the veneer on the surface. I think finding a craftsman in France who could do this wouldn't be difficult.

Try Alexis blade

Try Alexis blade

I think thats even faster than MK Carbon.

I have it. It's not fast. Can't compare with MK but definitely not faster then Viscaria.
