But I have to say, I don't really understand the big fuss around Koto-outer ALC blades. They are overall very good, but I feel they are actually slower and less spinny and worse control than the DHS Limba-inner ALC blades. I don't know why most of the top pros are still using the Koto style...

very good points. Do you think that BH loop against topspin is a necessary or important stroke to learn?? In game, I usually just hit my BH as a flatter drive-type shot. Even though I can't get too much spin, the BH drive is still very powerful and I win a lot of points with this stroke. Should...

About 1 month ago, I lost a few frustrating matches against a few guys who just do 1 single action in a match, they just slice to my backhand. I was always pinned on the backhand, and couldn't do much and would just throw away points left and right. I decided that my biggest weakness was my...

Well in my case, I put the baby oil on the H3 some 3 months ago. So it domed and stayed permanently domed, but by now the oil has all dried up. Then recently I put 2 layers of booster on it, and it became very high tensioned and bouncy. But I just wonder, maybe the initial expansion from the...

of course, scientifically I know exactly what you mean, but I don't want to waste a few rubbers just to prove this point. So that's why I am just asking if anybody might have an insight into this.

Ok well let us know how it is! I would also love to get a XVT blade if it is good. Also if you really want to go for a bargain, the Sanwei CC is $12 and is one of the best blades I have ever tried. If I had to play a match to save my life, I would probably pick the CC at $12 over any Butterfly...

I have a H3neo that i applied baby oil to, then subsequently 2 layers of booster. I found that the effect was great. Then another new sheet of reactor tornado v5 i didnt apply baby oil, but just 2 layers of booster. This one did not have a strong effect. Do you think just this rubber doesnt...

I have several Koto blades and Limba blades. Limba is softer with more dwell time, so it's better for a spinny style.

I think they said the XVT Rage is something like Koto-Koto-ALC. So, for some reason, they tend to use Koto as their third layer. Honestly if you have the V14 Pro, I think you shouldn't buy XVT. Its probably worse and adds nothing for you. DHS itself is already quite cheap, just get a Fang Bo...

Which XVT blades have you tried and what did you like about them? I tried XVT just once from a mate. It had a rather old Palio HK1997 Gold rubber on the FH, but when I tried to hit with it, all my shots went directly into the net. It had the lowest throw angle, the hardest, stiffest feeling...

Nice. Yeah, I doubt that top professional players would be mistaken about something like this. Do the CNT players do this also?

Which world best player are you referring to? Which pros do you know that do this stretching practice?

yes exactly, its just for fun. You will ever hardly run into a situation that you NEED the identical racket setup. It's not like tennis or badminton. I just like collecting one blade for each style, so I can know what they feel like and play a certain style if I feel like it. And yes I agree...

Well TT is different from tennis or badminton. You don't really have situation where your string breaks and you need a immediate replacement. I would say definitely get the B2 as a spare blade to your Viscaria, because they play differently. If you want to play a more fast-attack style, then...

is this like their version of HL5?

Yes, the Koto alc blades have a more snappy/crispy feeling. The Limba blades have a softer feeling. I think on short shots, the Koto ALC blades are faster, but on longer heavier shots, the BO2 is faster. Anyway, you have been asking about blades for a while. Which blade do you think you will get?

Sure, and its possible I might change my opinion over the next days or weeks, and I have the right to have a Day 1 opinion and I have the right to change my opinion as well. But I got the V14 Pro and 75 ALC as clones of Butterfly ALC blades, which are used by many top pros. I didn't have the...

On the Butterfly website, it says that FZD is now using D09c. Can anybody confirm if this is true? Is it FH or BH for him?

Its sometimes hard to compare feeling because the rubber might be different, and its kinda subjective to begin with. How would you describe HL5 feeling and compared to Fang Bo? The most recent time I hit with HL5, it had a bit of a "hollow" feeling with vibration. To me, B2 has less...

Yeah I played some B2 from mid distance both FH and BH and I think its excellent. It's really made for Chinese-style topspin loops. And yes, net control is excellent. I don't think this is inferior to HL5 by any means.
