  1. Chinese national team players and their rubbers.

    I think what Scoops is trying to say, is, when it's all said and done, should the CNT be able to play with equipment which is not commercially available? Irrespective of if its the rubber or the sponge. Also..... I appreciate the differences between rubber and sponge, which is why it's the...
  2. Vibration Property on Butterfly Matrix

    Ha, I'm well aware of the marketing tricks (along with the price hikes to go with said marketing tricks!). Basically, I'm in the market for a slightly slower blade to improve consistency in loops and flicks from both wings. I've pretty much had the Schlager Carbon forever, and have gotten on...
  3. Vibration Property on Butterfly Matrix

    Ok, that makes sense. That being said, the "control" element of the blade has been given a "9" (for the Garaydia ZLC) - But on the matrix, it has a high vibration number (meaning you can't feel the ball as much). Are there ANY benefits to this?
  4. Vibration Property on Butterfly Matrix

    Thanks Shuki. What are people's opinions on the pros and cons of a blade with "less vibration" - which is actually a higher number on the butterfly chart? The 3 Garaydia blades all have little vibration (meaning you can't feel the ball as much) - Why have they introduced this for the new ball?
  5. Vibration Property on Butterfly Matrix

    Yeah my understanding is the Garaydia T5000 is now the quickest Butterfly produce! Any one any ideas on the "vibration" axis?
  6. Vibration Property on Butterfly Matrix

    Hey guys, Am I right in thinking that the "vibration" element to this is effectively "feel"? "Reaction" looks like a straight swap for "speed" (I assume)? With this being the case, what is the advantage to having more/less "vibration"? I'm assuming my trusty Schlager Carbon would be at the...
  7. Chinese national team players and their rubbers.

    I understand what you are saying, but I'm not sure I'd completely agree. If it's purely about the athlete, why have different brands, rubbers, blades etc? If a player paid millions to invent a new technology which gave him the edge, does that make it better because it wasn't a big sponsored...
  8. Butterfly, schlager, blade

    Nope - Looks great to me :)
  9. Butterfly, schlager, blade

    Yeah no problem (appreciate the gift thing!) I'll PM you now.
  10. Butterfly, schlager, blade

    I've had it from new. Was used sporadically initially, but quickly became my back up as I preferred the straight handle version (which I still use). Given the rarity of it, and the general reviews people give it - I'd say it was worth it. I'll accept £155 if you can mark PayPal as gift...
  11. Butterfly, schlager, blade

    No serial number.
  12. Butterfly, schlager, blade

    Paypal fees would be £5.30. Shipping would depend how you want it shipped (royal mail/DPD etc). I'm happy to do what you'd like on that. I'll have to get the rubbers off to see if it has a serial number (I have no idea currently) - If I do, are you happy with the prices? Also, do you want the...
  13. Butterfly, schlager, blade

    Sorry mate, as I'm not desperate to sell, I'd want a bit more than that. I've carried on looking around, and the Black Tag SC's seem to fetch a pretty penny! If you want it (are you in Scotland?) - I'd take £150 + shipping and paypal fees. Let me know.
  14. Butterfly, schlager, blade

    Honestly? I hadn't given it much thought as I wasn't looking to sell. I've had a quick look online for a fair price, and there doesn't seem to be many that have become available in the last few years - Those that have sold, seem to have gone fro £160+! What were you looking to pay?
  15. Chinese national team players and their rubbers.

    I agree to a point. However, my main issue would be in the misconception that the retail version is what the players are actually using. That being said, if the CNT have developed techniques to improve their equipment, then good for them. It's up to the other nations to improve what they can...
  16. Butterfly, schlager, blade

    Just sent you a pm mate - Let me know if you can't see it. Cheers
  17. Butterfly, schlager, blade

    I have an anatomic one I don't need - It's my spare which I'm looking to change anyway. I can ping you pics and a price if you'd like?
  18. Serve Accuracy - Target practice

    The reaction at the end..... Can't work out if it's pure relief or elation! Good job. I'll give it a try next week.
  19. Garaydia ZLC Reviews?

    Hey guys, I've searched the forum with little success. Does anyone have thoughts/reviews on the Garydia ZLC? I've seen the video Dan and Tom made of the Garaydia series, but wanted some user feedback. I've used the Schlager Carbon blade for the past decade or so - Looking for something a...
  20. Schlager Carbon OFF +.......... What next?

    Well what do you know..... You are right (all of you....). For some reason I was always under the impression it was 7 ply. Learn something new every day!
