Help with blade

[Daniel TT]

Hi from Spain. I'm a 17 years old intermediate player. Since I started playing TT I used Primorac Carbon with Tenergy 05 on both sides bc my trainer said that was the best for me. Now, some years later I started to notice my blade is incredibly fast and uncontrollable. I need a more control blade but still as fast as Primorac or something near. Do u know any blades with more control and same speed? If it's from butterfly It Will be easier for me to buy, but It isnt necessary, any brand accepted.

Who would recommend primorac carbon as the best blade for a beginner? If you really want a fast blade, maybe a jun mizutani zlc or a Viscaria super alc?

How do you expect something to be fast and controlled at the same time?

Fast means high rebound, less time on the racket, which means harder to control (as some members will point that the blade itself doesn't have control).

There are other factors that make a blade easier to control, such as directness and predictability. But generally, a 'fast racket' to many people means that they have to put in less effort to get a fast ball. This makes it inherently harder to control and requires you to have more stable and fine-tuned technique to use it.

Going to any other butterfly carbon blade, would be slower than what you have now.
If you want to stay carbon, then go Viscaria

Impossible, control and speed are the inverse of each other…
more speed = less control and vice versa.
It’s an unbreakable law of nature.

Just go inner carbon or below like 7 ply - 5ply limba.

I’ve also started with primorac carbon when I was kid (my trainer gave me, it was second hand, heavily used, so cheaper)
Years later, I’ve switched to TB ALC, it’s better but still fast, no "significant" control increase.
I’ve tried many kind of blade, if you have any concern about control, don’t go above than inner carbons.

If cost is not an issue, try the Mizutani Jun Super ZLC or the Amultart ZLC or even the ZJK/LYJ/FZD SZLC - those are the fastest looping non-Tamca 5000 blades that Butterfly has and all have some more control than the Primorac Carbon.

If you definitely need more control, then try the Viscaria SALC or the Harimoto SZLC. Those are not as fast and have a lot more vibration and short game touch relative to their speed.
