Hi, I like my Korbel (Japan) version blade, with all its control but want to try a Carbon blade to compliment it that is a bit faster and still has good amount of control and feel. I have been looking at the DHS 506x and the DHS 301, reviews seems to suggest the 506x may be a bit fast and hard...

Haa Haa, I take 10 % for profit :)

Yes good idea, did you get the European version (I heard they are lighter) or the Japanese version. I heard the Japanese ones are usually around the 90 g and up.

Hope the below information helps how I did the modifications. I basically got an old rubber from a previous blade and marked around it with a pencil (2mm in from the end). Used then a very sharp knife or could use a stanley knife (with old rubber in place) and then cut slowly around the top...

Hi, I have had the Petr Korbel blade for about a month. I loved the control and feel of the blade, but was feeling the head and blade were a bit heavy (188g) and handle a bit thin (182mm all round thinnest part, vs Primorac 185mm). I was finding I was doing quite a few mishits and was not as...

I am wondering if you can do an initial impression of korbel (Japanese version) vs hadraw 5 . Overall In feeling, control, speed and spin . Looking at hadraw 5 as have korbel. Wondering if it's a side move or an upgrade. Finding korbel a touch heavy and handle touch thin, so a few miss hits ...

Hi, Love the Petr Korbel blade (92g) but a bit heavy (187g with rubbers) and handle a bit thin. Has a lovely sense of control and feeling but feels a touch heavy in the head, so harder to swing so sometimes miss hits and slower swings. Like its speed and spin. I am use to a 170/175g blade with...

Thanks for advice, you learn by your mistakes. The good thing is I did buy it on discount and didn't have to buy any new rubbers. S

I know , but read a lot of reviews that were raving about the blade. What blade and rubbers are you using? Thanks S

I was going to check out the Yasaka Sweeden Extra, but was told it be to aggresive and won't have much control, it was only available online. The Falcima I have read can be a bit fast if you want control and it tends towards a hard bat?? Any thoughts??

Thanks for everyone's responses. I ended up with the Maze advance. It does feel like a step up from the Palio Master 3, especially in the spin department with a touch of extra speed (with same rubbers). However I am not completely happy, it feels a bit stiff, lacks a bit of feel, lost a bit of...

Hi, I am currently using a Palio Master 3 with sriver on the backhand and Rozena on the forehand and like to upgrade my blade. I am looking at the following Butterfly blades (Petr Korbel, Maze Advance, Falcima) and wondering what could be the best one for me. I play with a mix of offence and...

Hi, How does the Maze advance compare with the Falcima? Seems similar specs, but lighter and thicker? Thanks

Hi, I enjoy the Palio Master 3 racquet but looking at getting a better rubber, would you recommend the Sriver or Rozena? Would the sriver or rozena be better? Would it be to big a jump with the current rubber? I still want the control that I have but a bit more pace and spin? Would the blade...

Hi , I have been enjoying the Palio expert 3 and enjoy playing matches with it. I noticed the Master 3 is about 15 grams lighter than the expert 3 (175 vs160g) and I heard that generally heavier bats you can put more pace on the ball. They say the master 3 is a faster bat than the expert 3 so...

Yes that the two options. Thanks for the feedback. Has anyone used both models. Thanks Steve

Hi, that's correct I start comp next week and need one. I can get one of them quickly. Has anyone used the Mark Smyth development bat too? Any feedback will be helpful. Thanks Steve

Hi, This is my first post here. I am wanting to buy a new bat as I am just starting out in competition. I am looking at the Joola Speed or Butterfly TBC 401 as they are both within my price range. Which would be the best bat? Which has more , control speed and spin - all rounder. What does TBC...
