I bumped into a guy playing with the Butterfly Harimoto S-ZLC today. I showed him my Stuor ZLC blade, and we were both surprised how similar they look from the side. I asked him if I could try hitting with his blade, but he declined. I then asked him if he can try hitting with my Stuor blade...

wow, a 301 with zlc? that sounds pretty powerful combination. How much is it and where do you buy it?

Inner carbon with Koto surface? So did he say it feels similar to DHS 301? Is it a combination that works? or is limba surface still superior

So now I'm having a hard time understanding why players like FZD and LGY use the outer alc. The inner ALC really seems so much superior to me. Maybe they think that outer alc is superior for the banana flick, which is how they return serve 70% of the time. But I actually don't see why outer...

I think it is very very slightly worse for block, but really the difference is small. There is more arc with inner carbon, but actually it leads to more consistency in my opinion. With the outer carbon, there is lower arc so in your effort to aim slightly more upwards to clear the net, you may...

We all know that blades like Viscaria and HL5 are extremely popular, representing two different approaches to the offensive style. For all you offensive players out there, which blade archetype do you prefer? Why does this suit you better? Or if you have totally different archetype you like...

I've had 3 sessions with the Stuor inner ZLC now, so it's more clear to me now. I feel that the "zlc" springiness is quite prominent in this blade. My BH has a bit of extra kick. Especially when I am behind the table, I think this blade helps my BH quite a bit. On the FH, I often times am...

I put Big Dipper and Moon Speed on this blade to test it out. The blade is certainly fast, but I didn't have particularly hard time using it on topspin shots. Compared to the TB ZLC, it is a bit thicker and has a more solid feel, and probably slightly faster as well. TB ZLC has a more...

One of my favorite all time rubbers. I always recommend it to people. Do you play with it boosted or original state?

lol what? how am I in denial? I can't beat the 2000 guy because he is better than me, and I've only really been playing for 8 months or so. I'm just trying to understand the intricacies of what makes him better than me. Some aspects I can understand, some aspects I still don't understand. In...

What blade is this and how does it play? Similar to Viscaria or HL5?

Seriously what took BTY so long to sign FZD? You should pay whatever it takes to buyout his existing contract and sign him. The money you make from him is insane. If Ho is right, then 5 new FZD blades. They should make a special edition FZD D09c rubber as well. In fact, BTY should buyout Ma...

ok, just make some posts on some threads

I'm using inner carbon blades now: DHS Fang Bo ALC and the Stuor Harimoto ZLC clone.

I used to use Big Dipper on V14 Pro. Both are very nice. Good for both hitting and looping.

Well I put my slowest set of rubber on this blade to test it out, and overall it feels faster than V14 Pro. I'm pretty sure its faster than the TB ZLC, but I didn't do a direct comparison. The arc was fairly normal, certainly not crazy low like some XVT blades I have tried in the past. Flex was...

For me personally, I have found that V14 Pro and other outer blades fit better with tensor or at least hybrid rubbers. I have found that boosted H3 just fits better with inner blades, giving you more room to swing hard and bring out the potential of H3.

Definitely, I didn't go into these with super high expectations that they would be exactly as the original. Especially I don't expect them to replicate the original's overall feeling. But if they can come close to the speed/flex, that's really enough for me. I already have a V14 Pro and DHS...

You know I've traveled in most countries in Asia. If you go to fake good markets in Malaysia, Thailand, or anywhere, they will sell fake goods alongside real goods. They're just trying to do their business. If you ask them which is fake, which is real, they will usually just tell you the truth...
