I ran away from Butterfly blades my entire career because of the price. And being an equipment junkie I’ve tried cheaper blades. With FZD leaving WTT, I said I need a piece of history so got myself a FZD ALC. Also got it a little cheaper because my friend brought it all the alway from a local...

So I've been using the H3N Commercial 38 boosted on my FZD ALC and replica W968. The sponge dies too quick with 2 layers of booster. I find there's also an issue with the consistency of the the topsheet on the H3N Commercial. They don't retain the tackiness like they use to. I had a sheet of...

My FZD ALC had H3N Commercial 39 boosted on FH. This replica W968 also has H3N Commercial 39 boosted on FH. So there is some comparison there. I think its safe to say that FZD ALC has a medium to high arc. The shot quality from the FZD feels much crispier. I felt that the replica W968's FH ball...

UPDATE The new blade EJ has wore off. The blade itself still plays with good feedback. Biggest downside: the blade has a low throw angle, which seems to be consistent with some people’s response to my post in a facebook group. The H3N commercial boosted plays good. I’ve come to find that the...

Appreciate your scientific research 😂. I had a 10 year old Hurricane 3 Neo Commercial that I stowed away. I was going through my stuff and found it. I was truly surprised that it was still insanely tacky. It was able to hold the ball for several seconds. All I did was clean it with water, put a...

I play FZD ALC with boosted H3N 39 commercial on FH and Tenergy19 on BH. I played with unboosted H3N before and could not play well enough. Finally decided I’m already so invested in the Chinese stroke so why not. And all my life I had been running away from Butterfly blades because of the high...

You’re on the wrong thread 🤪 I am planning to change my bh rubber to D05.

I haven’t played with C1, but I have wth G1 and S1. I would say those have a medium high to high throw angle. The Yinhe Moon 12 Blue medium hard has a medium throw angle. I actually did not think the sponge felt too hard. The topsheet has some softness that I think compliments with the medium...

Yep, that’s the one.

boretennis shared the correct link. Seller is Too Fun Store.

Alright, so what’s the view on replica blades? As an equipment junkie, I’ve purchased a few replica blades namely: TB ALC, Viscaria, and W968. The TB ALC replica was actually called Timo Boer 😂. This one had wide wings. I assembled it with Palio AK47 Red and Blue. It had insane speed and...

I just glued a Yinhe Moon 12 Blue medium hard on a replica W968 and wow it is amazing. This might be the best budget backhand I’ve ever played with. I will update once I get more time with it. It has some catapult effect that feels controlled. I don’t feel like it lacks any speed or spin.

I’ve looked online for commercial H3N 37 degrees but cannot find them available in red rubber, only black. Does it actually come in red? I’m only looking for commercial as I want to keep it cheap. I plan to boost it and use for backhand on a Loki Kirin K3 blade. Or is there an alternative that...

My FZD ALC is my first Butterfly blade. I’ve tried Tenergy on many other brands, but I feel that Butterfly rubbers play the best on Butterfly blades. I said that I don’t like Tenergy05, but I recently played with my friend’s Outerforce ZLC with T05 and wow I actually enjoy hitting with it. Nice...

I'm also a believer in Tenergy19. Never liked the play with Tenergy05. T19 allows the ball to sink into the rubber/sponge and increase dwell time. Couple years ago, I had T19 on BH for my Xiom Ice Cream AZXi for some time and enjoyed it. Changed the T05H on FH to T19 and it was way better for my...
