That's a real good list, with comparable hand feel. Thanks. Then I guess if I were to choose one (since I already have a premium butterfly inner carbon), I'd go for the PBO blades. Sanwei blades are usually budget friendly but their Froster blade lineup is surprisingly quite pricey. I was...

Nothing beats a good mid-far distance, chinese forehand style powerlooping session with the boys

I use the Ovtcharov as my main blade. To me the Ovtcharov is a spin demon. Coming from an outer carbon blade to this blade improves my spin generation so much. It's touch is nuanced, I can feel the ball on the blade so well and it aids my control a lot regardless spinny open ups, close to table...

Joola has some pretty modern crisp blades. When I was browsing for the JOOLA ZQH, I came across the Tezzo line, and the Tezzo Spartan in particular attracted me. Anyone has experience with this blade?

Hi, any review on the Hunter Speed? Is it crisp and fast? How is it's spin and control? Considering this Yasaka Hunter Speed as a Viscaria alternative but I don't need it to feel exactly like a Viscaria.

Because I already have some premium blades, I'm looking at slightly more budget options. I don't need the option to be very budget, like Chinese cheap, but it's welcomed. I am also open to consider other brands.

Nice review on the blade. I was seriously considering one as an addition to my outer carbon collection. I have a Yinhe Pro 01, and while I think it's good and played quite like a Viscaria performance wise, it lacked the crisp, crack-vibration feeling of the Viscaria that I loved, and felt more...

I also had the opportunity to try many different outer carbon blades, but NOT Hinoki carbons. For some reason Hinoki carbon blades aren't too popular in my club. But based on your description on Stuor Nobilis and regarding how Hinoki muted the crisp feedback, it might not be for me. I do have...

Glayzer is a special rubber for me. I started off as a pure beginner with Glayzer on the 5 ply Falcima, learning basic strokes. And now, on the Ovtcharov Innerforce ALC, I pull sick topspins and pretty quick drives with the Glayzer. I am looking for an upgrade since Ive been using this rubber...

How about Hinoki carbon blades, like Joola Nobilis/Stuor Nobilis, Sanwei Hinoki Carbon etc. Would they be as direct as outer carbon blades?

He isn't my official trainer, he just had a few rallies with me and saw one of my matches. He made a fast, passing comment, and got me curious about trying out outer carbon. Then he allowed me to try his FZD ALC with a black oil boosted Hurricane 3 National fh D05 bh, and that thing was insane...

Funny, just yesterday I got to try a club mate's Yinhe Pro 01 with D05 fh T05 bh. I actually found it very controllable, even with T05 forehand. Also I expected the cheaper Yinhe blade to feel noticeably unrefined compared to the Butterfly, but the differences is subtle enough. Yinhe Pro 01...

Interesting perspectives. The one on how outer carbons might be less spin sensitive is interesting. It's like how spinny rubbers are also spin sensitive, so blades also work like that. The more spinny inner carbon is more spin sensitive. While you can produce more spin with it, you'll have to...

The question I gave was what suits you best? If I needed an expert suggestion for me personally, I'd ask that ITTF coach 😂. Just want to know how others feel about the differences between inner and outer carbon.

I've been playing Inner Carbon for a long time. I don't upgrade the blade, only the rubber. Specifically, I use the Ovtcharov Innerforce ALC and have loved it. I would say I sit squarely in the intermediate level; I know my strokes and can read spin, but have room to improve in terms of...
