You can use the European BTY website: en.butterfly.tt On the Dutch BTY website there is also no weight selection, that's why I don't use that website. Got myself a 85gr Viscaria and it's slower compared to higher end 80's or 90+ gr blade, while still maintaining that crisp ALC feeling. Edit...

Hi, I have no intention to switch to long pips, but asking for my team member. :) He is using Tibhar Grass long pips with 0.5mm sandwich. Plays close the table, has a strong FH and uses his backhand (close to the table) to disrupt the rally. He does not attack with his pips. Question: Would he...

I tried the Rossi Emotion many years ago, but could not get used to the Hinoki outer ply. Hinoki is a very soft type of wood (500-800 lbf) and it holds the ball longer compared to other type of wood. Generally speaking, a softer blade is able to generate more spin. Soft blade with relative firm...

I can say great things about these 3 blades, however, that won't do you any good. Despite all 3 blades have carbon, they are very different blades (as mentioned by other forum members before). The questions you should ask yourself: Why are you looking for a new blade? What didn't you like of...

I have no experience on the chinese equipment, so I won't comment on these. 1) There is no such thing as good combo of blade and rubbers. A good combo, is a combo YOU feel comfortable with (despite what everyone else is saying) 2) Generally: yes. As tacky rubbers are not that fast so the...

I agree on the G1, but Vega Europe is no way near a replacement for T05. It's much softer and slower. Instead, I like to suggest Joola Dynaryz ACC. Solid rubber, not crazy fast, decent amount of catapult but definitely not as "springy" as T05. Downside of Dynaryz ACC is its price: it's the same...

Fully agree what has been said in this thread already: place the ball on his middle/in his pocket 👍

If I'm not mistaken the Mazunov is going (or already) EOL. Lovely old school BTY blade indeed, but like you said, it's for advanced players. It's a hard and fast blade, but even for plastic ball it's fast. Besides, it's pretty heavy and I haven't seen it below 95gr. Hence, >100gr is most common...

Big shout out to Bernadette indeed! Amazing performance!

Great game by Alexis indeed! Looks like he used Shang Kun Hybrid AC blade....or at least the same scales. We might see an A.LeBrun AC blade from Tibhar in time ;)

This has to be by far the biggest nonsense I've read in a long while on this (or any other) forum. I don't know how the TT environment is in your area, but I sincerely hope this is not the general opinion of TT players in your area. In my area (south of Netherlands) people simply choose what...

Good choice and a wise decision. Good luck in developing and improving your game!

Well said and fully agree.

Thanks for sharing your first impressions. Did not expect the remark that FZD generates more spin compared to Viscaria. In other reviews (which are still limited indeed) it's mentioned FZD generates bit more speed but less spin vs. Viscaria. Looking forward your follow up impressions ;)

I mentioned it in another thread as well, but I believe the FZD handle is a copy of the Stiga Infinity handle. ... Which would actually be a good thing :)

I thought the handle looked bigger then usual from BTY. Too me, it actually looked like the Infinity handle, which is a kind of bulky. Ah well, letś see. I´m sure the FZD ALC will be a winner for BTY.

It will be a viscaria/boll with Infinity-like handle :) If you watch the Indonesian SmashBack game ML vs FZD, FZD´s blade is a couple of times visible in a closeup when he serves. The handle really looks like Infinity but with the typical BTY little lens.

Nice blade. Too bad Nittaku handles in general are way too thin (and I don't like using griptape on a handle) Weird marketing text: "the large headsize help to generate more spin and speed". Not sure how a large headsize would help to generate more speed?! 🤨

Blades are made in China.I'm using the Xylo 7 for some time now (Dynaryz CMD in FH and Rhyzen CMD in BH). Built quality is good. Had to sand the wings just a tiny bit, but that's personal preference. Smooth handle and fits my hand nicely (FL). As expected for a 7 ply, it's not as flexible as a...
