  1. new shoes

    The best shoes that I had was a handball specially (!!!) made, "Handball Spezial". In the handball world this model is a legendary shoes! Extremely good with any artificial surface but kinda hard and retro look. :) My actual shoes are "Adidas TT10" model. Very good if you have wide feet. Did...

  3. Butterfly Viscaria with Stiga handle??? Interesting join-venture!

    I read about but I never seen it for sale: https://www.prott.vip/Product-Details.aspx?productcode=VS Seems to be an official blade... That is an interesting join-venture of Butterfly and Stiga for China National team.
  4. TSP Super Ventus and Ventus Spin - Anyone played with it?

    Upsss... I forgot to mention "Neo" word about Skyline 2 and 3. I read that the Neo versions (available also for H3) is OK without boosting. Hopefully, the Ventus line will be continued by Victas.
  5. TSP Super Ventus and Ventus Spin - Anyone played with it?

    Thanks for advice! I am not decided what rubbers should I use. I wish to try DHS Skyline 3/Skyline, TSP Super Ventus/Ventus Spin or even Rakza Z/Rakza 7. For the moment, on my Viscaria blade I have Rakza Z Extra Hard on FH and Rakza 7 on BH. After I will finish the test, I will know if I will...
  6. TSP Super Ventus and Ventus Spin - Anyone played with it?

    Thanks a lot guys for help! Based on all those information I'm wondering if those rubbers are not good also for Stiga Defensive Pro, a strange defensive blade with carbon. A defensive offensive blade if this terms are accepted in this order. ;) I have this blade since September last year and...
  7. Shoes for wide feet

    Well, I have too wide feet. :) I'm wearing Adidas TT10. You might also try volleyball shoes. The construction is very similar with TT shoes. And are far more good looking! ;)
  8. TSP Super Ventus and Ventus Spin - Anyone played with it?

    Hi there! I read a lot good things about those two rubbers. On Revspin.net both have a quite high score. 9.4-9.5 if I remember well. I wish to put them on my Viscaria (FH: Super Ventus, BH: Ventus Spin) and to try something new (now I have Rakza X and Rackza 7). Based on what I read this might...
  9. Butterfly Viscaria poor quality control checking??? (lens issue)

    Exactly! You pointed out very clearly! I pay more but I have a certain amount of expectation regarding the craftsmanship and QC!
  10. Butterfly Viscaria poor quality control checking??? (lens issue)

    I just came back from the Butterfly store. The blade was replaced without any comment. An interesting things... I checked almost all blades in the store and all Viscaria (in fact all ALC line) blades have a more or less this issue. Unfortunately, mine was the most affected otherwise it could not...
  11. Butterfly Viscaria poor quality control checking??? (lens issue)

    Regarding the sealing process there are a lot pros and cons about. From my point of view, if you are comfortable with this idea and you seen more good things, go for it. :) Regarding the pealing, here is the Butterfly advice.
  12. Butterfly Viscaria poor quality control checking??? (lens issue)

    The edge of the koto wool will rip a little? Also the ALC layer is affected? On my Stiga never ever the outer plies edge was affected by the rubber changes. I peal off from side to side. Based by Butterfly, sealing the blade is not recommended. I do not know why, probably because the sealant...
  13. Butterfly Viscaria poor quality control checking??? (lens issue)

    I did not glued the rubbers (I am not decided if I will return it or not) but for sure it will have no influence when I play. When I hold it, the fingers will not rest on the bottom part of the lens so I will not feel a difference. The main issue is due to the dwarf within my brain that tell me...
  14. Butterfly Viscaria poor quality control checking??? (lens issue)

    I understand what you said, but is the only FL that I have with such problem. My other FL blades (Stiga, DHL and Yasaka) did not have the same lens placement. What is interesting is that I found on Internet a lot Viscaria blades with such issues. It appear clearly in a lot photos of Viscaria...
  15. Butterfly Viscaria poor quality control checking??? (lens issue)

    Probably tomorrow morning I will call or I will go back to the Butterfly store to have the seller opinion. Do you think that's a fake? Hope not, was bought from the official Butterfly store.
