I think between the two JP02 may be more similar to M2 Than Baracuda, but I havent used JP series so I can't comment on that. If you play from mid distance but think M2 is too fast, the slower Baracuda may feel better to you, but one of the things that is good about M2 is that it is not so spin...

My main weapon is G1 fh and Baracuda bh on a Stratus Powerwood, nothing too crazy, but it's no slouch. I know it has a lot more potential than what I can produce myself, but I think all things considered, it's pretty manageable for the level of performance it can produce. My one gripe is that...

Some guys I play with just wrap a rubber band around near the base of the handle, for security. I used to do the same thing but with a bit of the thin tennis overgrip, I would avoid the tape and use super glue to make a single layered wrap around where my pinky would rest, this would avoid the...

Buy from TT11, MXP has always been a part of the 4 for 3 deal they have going on

Limba/inner and Koto/outer, typical Innerforce ALC and Viscaria structures. They look nice, but the price is in the same relative weight class as some Butterfly ALC as well as some of the newer made in Korea blades like the Synteliac series.

At least for myself though, I find that it is easier to open the point and use less effort in countertopspin and defensive strokes like blocking with a softer rubber, whereas I feel like harder rubbers allow me to push more controllably and are easier for me to serve with, as well as feeling...

For someone who is just trying to drive to the grocery store, it doesn't matter so much wether you get a Toyota or a Honda.

I think Ma Lin was using Bryce FX, Wang Hao was using Sriver and Wang LiQin was using Nittaku Hammond (similar vein to Bryce).

All these "high technology" buzzwords from different manufacturers but they still can't leave a bigger impression than Butterfly's 'Spring Sponge'

"Top" as in quality or numbers? In terms of volume I feel like Chinese brands such as RITC/729 and Double Happiness Shanghai easily outsell the Japanese and German brands. But in terms of quality and popularity, Tamasu Tokyo Butterfly is the strong winner, Elastomer-Neuheit (ESN) coming close...

The new Mizutani looks to be Limba surface whereas the Falcima has a Koto outer

Once upon a time, there was a rubber called Outlaw...

I think the older versions have a slightly different shaped handle, from memory old version ST was slightly thinner than my new version. I cant say for sure because I no longer have my old versions anymore. But its definitely seems cheaper to get the existing old versions

The brown handle is just the older version. Although my older versions felt slightly harder and more flexible, whereas the newer ones are a bit stiffer and softer.

To be honest I think they are basically the same blade in terms of construction, but the shape and size of the SPW leads it to being slightly stiffer and more solid. I am using the SPW nowadays because it has a larger straight handle and a bigger neck area vs the OffS which I feel helps me...

How heavy is yours? I have a rather light (~80g) Swat and I agree that it is a great blade. But my sample vibrates much more and has a smaller sweetspot than my 5 ply limba blades of similar thickness (SPW, OffS), its more similar to my Allround Evolutions in terms of feel and behavior, and I'm...

Looks like a repackaged Primorac. It caught my eye up until I saw that it will only come in flared. That's no bueno for me, and also a little funny because Mizutani has always used a straight handle

Check out the OSP Virtuoso. One of the highest quality wood blades you can get IMO

Megaspin acts as a 3rd party ordering service, no shade to them as they run a solid and communicative operation, but me personally I would pick Paddlepalace or Butterfly Online as I'm pretty sure that they have their own in-house stock. Last time I ordered from Megaspin they sourced my order...

MLSC is basically an Extra with two thin layers of carbon. If you're looking for a blade that is an upgrade specifically to the Sweden Extra I think it would be the most logical choice
