Even Chole might not be as Chinese as you thought though. From my understanding, cho-le is not a Chinese word, and exists exclusively in the context of table tennis. Therefore, I would like to suggest that it is more of an international table tennis culture rather than Chinese. Many...

I believe DHS and Nittaku make thinner handles for most blades than Butterfly. I have a DHS PG7 and a Nittaku Latika. Both have thinner handles than Butterfly blades.

snipe isn't spinny at all a friend of mine also mentioned that presto is mediocre

My bad. I failed to see the fact that you already mentioned that it is not zlc. I was looking at the pro feeling recommendation and I thought it has to be noted. PLC is poor man's zlc if I recall correctly, though I have no firsthand experience with it.

Pro feeling is alc, not zlc DHS301 is also alc, not zlc

The Yinhe equivalent of Innerforce ZLC is Yinhe M202. You can get one from aliexpress or princett.

Probably not. If I recall correctly Stiga Exclusive OFF is a solid OFF racket, which is the same speed category as Viscaria.

Most table tennis brands outsource their rubber production to a company called ESN. I think it's in Germany? Basically rubbers from brands like Tibhar,Donic,Xiom, and many other popular brand comes out of the same factory and therefore they feel quite similar.

As a followup to Coolpug's post, Butterfly Thailand has confirmed the price of Dignics 05 to be 2500 baht(~79 usd). Please note that this is higher than the price for Tenergy 05, which is 2300 baht(~72 usd)

It's not. You can try for yourself. It will feel different but you can still play well with either.

Then you might want to get a slower blade or something similar to your coach's. Problem solved.

Sardius is one of the fastest blades on earth. It is definitely possible to do a bh serve and get a lot of spin with it though. A couple of questions for you to think about: 1. How do you know that you are doing the bh serve correctly? Are you able to get a lot of spin with your friend's setup...

Speaking of clones, let's put it this way. One of this is Timo Boll ALC, the other is Yinhe V14 Pro. Without looking at the handle patterns, can you guess which one is which?

I found that the effect the blade has on spin/throw angle is negligible compared to the effect from rubber hardness, but with that being said, fast blades will have lower throw simply because the ball is going out faster. I've never used the innerforce alc, but I can say with confidence that...
