Nittaku g1, the new Hammond z2

Dignics good alternative to tenergy , generally less catapult more linear

The other blade - if you don't want to spend much money is yinhe pro 01 , similar to viscaria but more dwell and control and a little stiffer.

Yes Freitas is a bit stiffer than viscaria but it has more dwell and slightly slower, higher throw (more arc) and easier close to the table - not as much catapult.

The Butterfly Marcos Freitas ALC is in between the harimoto and Viscaria/FZD for speed. More control than Viscaria and close to the Harimoto. Harimoto is a larger head and I found it a bit head heavy, I actually preferred the innerforce over the harimto as less head heavier and seem more agile...

The Nittaku acoustic inner carbon we have is about 93g. Its probably a bit more solid than the 86g version.

The nittaku acoustic inner is a good blade, it works well with harder rubbers, you can start with something like glayzer 05 and go up to dignics 05 or 09c. I had one gave to my son, he started with butterfly primorac and now the nittaku is his main competition blade.

I play dignics 09c on the Freitas on forehand and glayzer 09c or friendship battle 2 39 degrees on backhand. Freitas is a good blade, you can also try glayzer or g1 on the forehand.

Hi, Wondering has anyone compared these two blades (Yinhe pro 01 and Sanwei 75 alc). What would the difference between them for speed, spin and control. I have heard the sanwei has less feeling is that correct? Thanks

I went from korbel to Innerforce, basically a bit more speed yet retaining the wood feel with control . The harimoto version is a bit more head heavy vs Innerforce, similar feel great for blocking. Prefer innerforce as lighter in the head. Innerforce a great blade, now a back up to my FZD and...

Sometime softer rubbers like c1 can have a bit more catapult, but you right its not a fast rubber. Razka 7 and friendship batter 2 soft is good too. I use the friendship battel 2 soft and Glayer 09c on a carbon blade too. Initially I started with sriver. A friend uses C1 on the backhand.

If you beginning with fastarc c1 or g1 they can be a bit fast on the backhand. G1 is more an intermediate rubber. You could start with sriver, or glayzer 09c.

Yinhe pro 01, more control than viscaria and similar speed. Less feeling/vibration though. Similar stiffness and feel to timoboll alc and more dwell and slightly slower than timoboll, but also depends on weight of blades too.

Razka z works well on forehand on hard and fast carbon blades like timoboll alc and yinhe pro 1.

Agree with the above - Used most to razka rubbers (I have Razka 7 soft, 7, x, z, tried briefly xx and 9). 9 is the fastest but harder to control in short game as catapult and bouncy 7/7 soft is one of the slowest (allrounder) and easiest to control, x is quite low throw but very linear and one...

I often measure the hz of blade before purchase - bounce ball on blade and app in phone measures it. There can be quite a bit of variation between same blade. My korbel measures about 1320 ( I read they can be any where between 1200 and 1330), 1390 for my Innerforce. My FZD blade - 1450.

Hope it's a legit korbel, some do copies. I am careful where I buy blades from. There is a European version and japaneses version of korbel blades. The Japanese version are harder and faster.

The butterfly outerforce is quite a good blade too, more feeling than yinhe but not as much spin as Innerforce blade

There is some vibration but that's normal , it's limba outer ply so you get quite a bit of feeling . Butterfly Rozena rubbers go well with korbel too.
