One of the main differences is that 301 has koto outer timber - so more crisp and direct feeling, the b2x is limba outer so a little softer timber (which can help more with dwell - ball stays on bat very slightly longer when hit) and generally can feel a little more spinny. I do find the handle...

If you want to go to carbon outer with good control for a cheap blade you could try Yinhe pro 1. I just but a fast rubber (Nittaku hammond z2 2mm - on the forehand) on another cheap innercarbon blade the DHS pg5x and it worked very well. The DHS fan bo bx2 is slightly faster than the pg5x but...

You could maybe try ebay, amazon, tabletennisdaily or see if you can get it direst form Japan. Yes the feel of butterfly blades is nice. The other brand I feel has a nice feeling is Nitakku especially the acoustic series.

The outerforce is a nice blade. I had moved from a Butterfly innerforce alc to it about 9 months ago, now the outerforce is my back up blade. The other blade you could look at is the Marcos Fretas alc. It was the replacement of the MM - I bought a cheap 2nd hand one, its a touch faster than the...

Great blade, I have dignics 06 (1.9mm) and G09c on the backhand of mine. I did try the D09c on the forehand but found it was a touch slow, so went to D05 which was easier to activate. Nice controllable outercarbon, maybe a touch slow at times compared to my FZD but I keep more balls on the table...

The outerforce alc (88g) , in play I find it has similar feeling like my FZD, the FZD I find is a more attacking blade , the outerforce more an allrounder.

I have an outerforce alc, find it just a little slower than FZD alc etc however with more control, the outer ply is a little thicker which I think creates more dwell and the blade is thicker 6.2 vs 5.8. It's more ayous timber on outer ply than the other butterfly blades - which is either limba...

I have had only one blade sealed. I did feel the blade was harder and had less feeling than it did originally. Also for some reason the rubbers were harder to glue on.

It would be great if you reviewed friendship battle 2 rubbers (provincial or national). Much cheaper than some of the butterfly and even dhs offerings. Seem to have quite a bit of control and spin and reasonable speed. I currently trying 39 and 37 hardness. They are more on the heavier side.

I have had limba blades without sealing without any problem. Just pull the rubber off carefully. I usually pull the rubber off starting from the handle and just slowly pull off towards the end of the blade. I have had butterfly innerforce blades and nitakku acoustic inner without no splitering.

The butterfly outerforce alc , but it isn't quite as fast as the yinhe pro 1, I probably still prefer yinhe pro 1 😁

I have the Yinhe pro 1 too - a good blade, great control and reasonable fast, spinny and cheap. I think it probably one of the most controllable outer carbon blades. The only main negative I found is it lacks the feeling of the Butterfly blades. I also use a FZD alc and that's a nice blade too...

What blades do you currently use? thanks

I tried the Butterfly Dimitrij Ovtcharov Innerforce ALC but I think I prefer my FZD Alc, I think the head heaviness of the DOI makes it harder to swing - not as agile like the FZD blade and the FZD its easier to activate the carbon and I think it isn't as stiff either.

I know someone at your level uses the Timo boll spirit blade as its meant to be better at the short game than the Timo boll alc. What about FZD alc. ? Also I second that you could try Battle 2 rubbers.

What is the weight of the rubber r7h, razka rubbers tend to be on the heavier side. Thanks

The battle 2 series is quite good too, there is the Battle 2 soft (37) and I also have used battle 2 39 degree on the FZD. At the moment I use D09c on FH and Glayer 09c on backhand on the FZD :)

To me I do feel this Donic blade is more controllable and has more feel than the Timo boll alc blade.

An update, the softer rubber Glayzer 05 (2.1) works well for the forehand on this blade. This review helped me decide that the Glayzer might be a good fit for this blade https://racketinsight.com/table-tennis/butterfly-glayzer-review/ With the Glayzer it still had plenty of speed (still fast)...

I put a glayzer rubber on the forehand and it felt nice bouncing the ball on the blade - not to bouncy and good feel. Will test it in the next 24 hours.
