The brown handle is just the older version. Although my older versions felt slightly harder and more flexible, whereas the newer ones are a bit stiffer and softer.

To be honest I think they are basically the same blade in terms of construction, but the shape and size of the SPW leads it to being slightly stiffer and more solid. I am using the SPW nowadays because it has a larger straight handle and a bigger neck area vs the OffS which I feel helps me...

How heavy is yours? I have a rather light (~80g) Swat and I agree that it is a great blade. But my sample vibrates much more and has a smaller sweetspot than my 5 ply limba blades of similar thickness (SPW, OffS), its more similar to my Allround Evolutions in terms of feel and behavior, and I'm...

Looks like a repackaged Primorac. It caught my eye up until I saw that it will only come in flared. That's no bueno for me, and also a little funny because Mizutani has always used a straight handle

Check out the OSP Virtuoso. One of the highest quality wood blades you can get IMO

Megaspin acts as a 3rd party ordering service, no shade to them as they run a solid and communicative operation, but me personally I would pick Paddlepalace or Butterfly Online as I'm pretty sure that they have their own in-house stock. Last time I ordered from Megaspin they sourced my order...

MLSC is basically an Extra with two thin layers of carbon. If you're looking for a blade that is an upgrade specifically to the Sweden Extra I think it would be the most logical choice

Speed ratings as they come in writing are more often than not, deceptive. And I think it's also accurate to say that equipment you are not as familiar with should provide less control than that which you are already familiarized in using. If you are coming from a thinner harder blade, you would...

Blue sponge plays different than orange sponge, not better or worse.

My most recent acquisition is a 92g Eternity VPS, its got quite the personality. Kind of like an Allround Evo on steroids

Have you tried the new rubbers on a different blade?

Have not tried them but I have heard good things about the Mizuno Q series.

Not sure about Neottec, but Mizuno rubbers are made by Sumitomo

What are you comparing it all to?

Great footage, thanks for sharing

My PG2 has a bigger handle than Fang Bo. I assume the 301 is more like Fang Bo and the Long 5 is more like the PG. PG2/3 handle is similar to Hurricane King

I can't find it on Aliexpress anymore, maybe they're out of stock or discontinued.

I have an innerforce ZLC knockoff off of aliexpress that plays pretty well, I'd need to do some more testing with it though. It feels in the same general vein as my Fang Bo carbon

Three Nine and Globe are for sure different brands but they both might get rubbers from the same factory, after all they are both stamped with Tianjin China. which is also where RITC rubbers come from. The Juic 999 rubbers, at least the older style non-Elite ones stamped by both Globe and Juic...

There is a specific brand called Three-Nine (三-九) that produced rubbers, namely their own 999, which is not associated with the Globe line of 999 rubbers:
