A lot of Tensors do not have the Tensor logo on them. Bluefire and Evolution some examples

Technically it is. Made by ESN. Same generation of tensor as Vega Pro, R7, Aurus, Genius, Baracuda, Acuda, Hexer etc

I think the only blade that Butterfly still makes with T5000 which is similar in composition is the SK Carbon. Not sure how either of them play though so ymmv

Never used the Axelo or Strato, just Ignito. PC is relatively similar to Sardius but it is a bit thinner and has a smaller headsize. Carboseed has a large headsize but the hinoki outer is thinner than Sardius. The Ignito I used was a bit softer and slower than the PC I had at the time so it...

Depends on what you want to do with them. Cheap Chinese pips like Globe 979, Palio CK531A are fine for some chopping, but they really excel at chopblock/hit. Japanese pips are the best for dedicated chopping

I like heavier blades but I also like blades with a softer surface for pips, gives me better control. A hard and stiff blade will act more threatening but a soft but stiff blade will give better stability and predictable response. If you're playing single sided ph, go for the heavier sample

Nittaku ones have never done this for me, even after countless wash cycles. They are high quality, consistent and durable. I've used them for years and years

I was trying to play in Gel Rocket 10s for a while because they were cheap but I had the same issues, they had very good cushion and support but that was also the downside because it felt like I could not pick my feet up or skip around very fast. I tried the Tibhar Blizzard Speed and Supersonic...

It's pretty obviously fake. First off the quality control on the finishing is nowhere near that of a real Butterfly. Second the handle and head shape is pretty different than a legit FZD.

I'm pretty sure they changed it a while back due to customers having trouble gluing rubbers to it. Thinner treatment yields better adhesion

I can still find K2 on Aliexpress. Might be the case that it is only sold in China now

Looks like a beginner rubber. Not that Andro needs any more of those lol. Couldn't find a USA-based retailer of the product, the only ones I saw were from Europe

Just put 1 more layer of boost onto non Neo sponges than you would a Neo sponge and bam

In the past

2.1 #22, 39 of you don't boost, 40 if you do. Blue has softer feeling, lower arc and less bounce than orange

Feeling is noticeably different. ALC dampens vibrations even in inner construction. Regular 5 ply woods are simply not as aggressive as outer ALC, and inner ALC are less aggressive than outer but still offer better support and improved sweetspot over 5 ply wood.

Its hard for me to tell how exactly this dude does this, because he does it very fast and it is difficult to ascertain the positioning of his fingers on the blade. But this guy Eduardo Tomoike is capable of a very shakehands-esque bh technique with his tpb

You've had the chance to test it, might you consider just doing Vega Pro both sides?

Your best bet might be to contact Cole at colestt.com, I know he has a close relationship with the brand

Tibhar sourced the Grip-S series from Haifu (based on Blue Whale) and Donic did the same for the Traction series (White Shark)
