There are 3 blades that are actually the same, but because of the weigh variations different people have different impressions: BTY Innerforce ZLC BTY Franziska ZLC BTY Apolonia ZLC However, if your DHS is inner-carbon with ALC, then BTY Innerforce ALC and BTY Harimoto will be more similar...

The hologram sticker is unique to China's market. The reason is that there are many counterfeits in China so Stiga uses that special sticker just to confirm the originality of their products. Off topic a bit: @KY3333 In your profile, your Tibhar Lebesson is written "French National Team"...

I have not followed XIOM blades closely for years now, so I am really confused with all their newer blades. TMXi, ALXi, Icecream, 36.5 series, etc. etc. The reason is that it takes sometimes for me to like a blade. And if I like a blade, I would like to buy spare. In case of XIOM, I have...

For Badminton, I notice that for the same line of product, Yonex has different versions: Pro - the best quality (the most expensive) - made in Japan Tour - 2nd best - made in Taiwan Game - 3rd best - made in Taiwan Play - for novice / amateur (the cheapest) - made in China I think that it...

Sorry to be out of topic here. But your Yasaka W7 has different lens compared to mine. Is it the standard product available now in the store? Thank you

@SFF_lib Good video, thank you for sharing. I am a shakehand player but started as a penholder. Because of the frustration in BH, I switched to shakehand grip. This was long long time ago, during TPB (no RPB back then). But I really enjoy the video and I always favor Wang Hao's grip...

Clipper type of blade with big handle? Say no more, it is Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro Black. I have one in ST and my friend's in FL. Both have big handle. EDIT: If you compare with Butterfly blades, then this is the comparison --> Korbel FL (slim) < Viscaria FL (normal) < Tibhar...

There is no higher joy than beating an opponent (that uses newest generation of blade and rubbers), by using ordinary all-wood blade with AK47 both sides. You should look at his/her face, questioning all the major life decisions that he/she had taken in his/her life. 🤪 🤪

It is Limba. My limba blades' surface are different from each other: some are light color, some are yellowish color and some are darker in color. They are all Butterfly blades (which has good QC). So I guess, limba being an organic material, can vary from one to the other.

I speak from my own experience, so it might not generally be true (depending on the weight of the blade). I have Yasaka Extra, it is a true ALL+ blade. With newest generation tensor rubbers, it is still a good blade for amateurs like us. Now, Ma Lin Carbon is actually an OFF- blade (my...

I have been wondering this as I bought quite a lot of Palio AK-47 Red (black color) and those "smudges" / "finger prints" are almost always present. The red color is fine though. The rubbers are brand new out of the factory packaging. But it does not affect the way they play though. Back...

Sorry for the late reply. If you are using Stiga Intensity, then BTY Petr Korbel is fine then, in term of head heavy factor. Stiga, although not WRB type, still have a hole in the handle, so it is rather head heavy. For BTY Korbel, although I am not sure about the handle (normal or has a...

It basically depends on what you are using currently. When I used senso-type Donic blades or WRB type Stiga blades, then switching to Korbel (Japanese version by the way, 158 x 152 mm head size), I did not notice anything different. It seemed like a normal blade for me. But lately I have been...

I assume that you are talking about slow heavy loop ("that come with a curve"). In the 38 mm ball era, it was not easy to smash those loops given the heavy spin. Now, with the 40+ mm plastic ball, it is much easier to just whack those slow heavy loops. How do I know? I am the one who likes...

The one at the bottom --> is it an older version or is it just dirty from extensive usage? The reason I asked is that long time ago, during the peak of Zhang Jike, there is one player with older Viscaria with black butterfly tag (I believe it is 90s or early 2000s Viscaria). I borrowed it...

Based on composition, isn't it similar to Donic True Carbon Inner (Viscaria clone, but with inner carbon)?

Better seal than sorry. That was my motto, until I bought Acoustic and Violin (many many years ago during the Violin and Acoustic craze). At first I hesitated to seal those 2 blades. In the end, I sealed my Acoustic but did not seal my Violin. My Violin is intact, because the outer ply is...

I am not trying to prove that you are wrong or anything, but this makes me curious, so I made a little research. Like I mentioned previously, my Diablo is 3+2 and when I tried to get a replacement many many years later, I found that it becomes 5+2. So I am curious, when they started to change...

First, it's a fact that Diablo is discontinued. Second, there are 2 types of Diablo: 1. The original Diablo is 3+2 (I own this). The intermediate ply between core and top-ply is fibreglass. 2. Many years ago, when I browsed through Donic catalog, Diablo was listed as 5+2. I don't know why...

Very very good arguments above from few forum members, which I appreciate. In the past, I like Tibhar Samsonov Alpha, and many people praised that blade. telling how that blade suited Samsonov's Tai-chi style of play, until many years later it was revealed that he was using Mazunov and not...
