If you ask at your club, there will be plenty of people who will help.

Hey Vuong, played local and national over the past 15 years :)

I don't think you are trying to hide your faults, and I may have missed some videos you've posted (I've only seen the one of you in jeans) - I didn't mean your footage wasn't honest, it was more of a saying than anything else. Considering your input into this forum, the only thing holding you...

Arch - I don't post a huge amount, but I try and read as much as I can. I think your willing to improve and learn as much as you can about the game is admirable. If you lived in a different location, I'm sure you would be improving on a daily basis. I think the biggest issue seems to be around...

Hey guys, This is more for historical questions and to save future threads! I've been playing with a ZLC blade (Garaydia), with T05 on the forehand, and T64 on the backhand. I've been looking at alternatives to Tenergy since the price increase in the UK, with the obvious Evo Range being well...

Assuming it's price (let's be fair, with Tenergy..... 99% of the issues are price related!), I would look at Tibhar MX-P. MX-P is the middle ground between T05 and T64 (but closer to T64 than T80 is....).

Hi Amadeus, The Amultart has been discontinued, and the Garaydia ZLC is the the replacement. There are a few reviews (mine included), of this. TTD have done a video review of it too.

I thought that was specifically the Chinese black vs red rubber (which is why I mentioned the Chinese secret)? Did people using Euro/Jap rubbers think the same?

Darner, Shuki is basically saying that "to him", the 0.1mm makes a big difference. He didn't like you making out that it made no difference (if I read it correctly). For what it's worth, I'm with you (no offence Shuki) - Yes we like what we like, but 0.1mm is very insignificant, and the...

Well, if we knew the secrets, it wouldn't be secret ;) You could ask the same about a McDonalds Big Mac, or the recipe for KFC - Why doesn't someone copy it? I'm guessing here (and I'm sure someone will come along and prove me wrong), but Butterfly spend a huge amount on Research and...

Ahhh, I do love a fast blade. Played with a TBS last night for a bit (whilst they were using my set up) - Huuuuuuge difference to the Garaydia ZLC. It should be compulsory for people to post videos of their forehand loop...... Everyone loves a good forehand loop.

I wasn't overly keen on the IF ZLC - It was "nice", paired decently with the Tenergy I had on, but it wasn't "wow".....

Jeff, try it for yourself and see. It's not going to be AS good as a quicker blade for smashes, but I wouldn't say it's bad (depends how hard you hit it ;) ) Although if I was picking out attributes I wanted in a blade.... "Smashing" would be pretty near the bottom of my list.

Do you remember what the rubbers were? To me, the rubbers make more of a difference to initial feedback than the blade. To compare blades, you need to play with the same ball and rubbers for each test. Otherwise it's kinda pointless.

Bump for the old classic!

Hi Jeff, Pretty much what Shuki has already said. It's worth remembering Butterfly are a very good marketing company (a bit like Apple) - So whilst they will tell you something is new and amazing, a lot of the time it is just a very slight adjustment on a previous model. They have so many...

I'm surprised I haven't seen it on here (or if it has been posted, I missed it), but you do realise that ZJK hasn't actually retired? http://new.ittf.com/2016/08/29/zhang-jike-changing-heart-retirement/

Looks like the red side is very spinny, with the black side virtually having none - Any pimples involved? Do you tend to check the bat before you play? I'd probably put a comment on your videos of "Any advice on tactics/gameplay - Rather than technique), just so people don't try and advise in...

I have a Shlager Carbon - Black Tag?

I had the Schlager for years - The Garaydia T5000 has more feedback/feel/vibration than the Schlager ever did. Going back lack to the original post, if you want to have a blade that you don't feel at all (when you hit the sweet spot), then load up a Schlager with some Tenergy (or another thick...
