Hi All, I know that I still can find Nittaku Violin Carbon Inner offered in many websites, however, when I looked at current Nittaku official website, I can only see the followings: Nittaku Acoustic Nittaku Acoustic Carbon Nittaku Acoustic Carbon Inner Nittaku Violin Nittaku Violin Carbon...

I think Nittaku Acoustic is a product that they have produced with "trial & error" in mind: <Introduction of their new blade --> Acoustic> This is our excellent, out of the world, Acoustic........ wait, the handle is too small for human hands. <few years later> Don't worry.... we have...

I am just curious, why you chose to switch to Yasaka Sweden Extra. Why not going back to your old set up: Stiga Infinity VPS with Vega rubbers (since you were doing very well with those). I am not saying Sweden Extra is bad, on contrary, it is a good blade. But if you are already doing...

Wow, surely Butterfly knows how to charge arms and legs for ordinary all-wood blade. There is no special technology there that justifies such pricing. Domestic prices (in Japan) are reasonable though. The problem is that other TT brands see that BTY can get away with charging too much money...

Butterfly's line of products, previously named Hadraw Series (VK, SK, etc.) have been discontinued if I recalled correctly. However, I just saw a new Butterfly Hadraw 5 recently at Butterfly Global Site (website) and I think that it is beautiful. If I asses correctly, it is made of koto -...

I have Acoustic, Clipper, Korbel and Viscaria and have held my friends' Harimoto FL and ZJK FL (only holding,not playing with them). Acoustic FL (regular one, not the SG or LG types) is smaller compared to those blades' FL handle.

Every time I read Der_Echte's comments on Donic Persson Powerplay, I always want to test my Persson Powerplay again. The problem is my PPP FL (normal and v1 senso) both weigh 83 grams and rather slow. My newer PPP ST (normal, non-senso) weigh 91 grams and 88 grams. They both play...

His shakehand grip is a little unorthodox. He holds it in between traditional shakehand grip and Seemiller grip. His index finger curl on the side of the bat. Had someone asked this in any interviews?

I second the last two comments: Stiga Eternity vps or Stiga Rosewood V. (1) First choice has diamond touch - vps treatment as well, which you are already familiar with. (2) Second choice has no diamond touch -vps, but has different top ply (rosewood) that is harder than limba, so it is a...

I use AK47 yellow and/or red when testing a blade. I like to keep the same rubbers when testing different blades, so that the only variable changing is the blade itself. I used to use Mark V both sides, but as the price is getting more expensive, I switch to AK47 yellow initially, but...

I captured the above picture from the video, because I see something interesting. I think that in that particular year, Xu Xin was sponspored by Stiga. But the handle is DHS? Anybody know the story behind this?

Why do they look prettier than Brokenball? ................... er, sorry, ....what I mean is............., they play prettier than Brokenball...... :ROFLMAO:

I remember the first 2 blades of Stiga Clipper (1 wood and 1 CR version) that I bought were around 6.9~7.0 mm. I hated both of them. Then over the years I bought 3 other Clipper Wood, and I found that they were 6.5~6.6 mm. I like these newer 3 Clipper. Now they are only ~6.2 mm...

My honest opinion on this matter: I am really confused on the DHS rubbers (H3 especially): commercial, provincial, national, etc. One person said that they are the same rubbers manufactured in the same production line, and the ones with best quality designated for national version, the good...

This is what I usually do: I cut my rubbers to the biggest blade I own (either Clipper, Force Pro Black, or Korbel), basically a blade with head size of 158 x 152 mm. Then when I transfer the rubbers to another blades (standard blade of 157 x 150 mm), it is a bit overhang on every side (very...

@mihalichtheone: Hi, you are playing really well for someone who just switched to penhold grip for only 2 months. My question is, what are the reasons that made you want to change to use penhold grip? Are there any advantages that you thought would benefit you if you made the switch?

These are all proven blades, that have been used in the past by pros. Well, probably not the Neottec. However, Neottec Voodo Classic is basically a replica of (or I should say similar to) Butterfly Korbel, which at one time had been used by many pro players. It is now still being used by few...

I know a lady who can spin the ball quite heavy and I was surprised as she is using thick balsa blade with double inverted rubbers. I know her friends (in her group) play with balsa blades but they are all using pips at least on the BH. I asked her why she is using balsa blade as I think she...

A kid would say: "I promise that I will not be naughty anymore,......... ......................................................................... If one day I am naughty again then I will promise again" :ROFLMAO:

Ah, you are correct. The second layer is spruce. Thank you for the correction. However, I need to check again for the top layer (out of curiosity). If I remember correctly, it is not limba but something else. Because the grain is quite different and the surface is very smooth.
