Not as far as I can see, they (at least BTY) have reasonable and correct numbers. But there numbers are average and each product differ some. Cheers L-zr

That is physically impossible. Control and spin is almost directly inversed. Spin is almost only depending on the blade speed and rubber. For a blade more speed = less spin and less control. Cheer L-zr

I would believe BTY, but remember that wood is a live material and the rating is an average. In this particular case the TB ALC is slightly thicker than TB ZLC and thicker normally means faster... Also the wood types matter... Cheers L-zr

Butterfly have pretty good ratings and I would definitely trust them over a site where anybody can give input… But you also have to understand the rating… Cheers L-zr

Me too, I wasn’t prepared for the huge difference. I will stick with it for a while and see what happens. After all I wanted something slower… I think loops will benefit once I get used to the trajectory. The one thing I’m doubting is my BH power… But we’ll see. I have found appropriate rubbers...

I took it for a more serious spin today and I must say that the handle is really really comfy… Still fighting with my 3rd ball attacks but it was better today. I will still fight with MarkV and see if I can get used to it. It should force me to put more effort in and that’s a good thing… I have...

I miss the 38cm celluloid… Cheers L-zr

Took it for a spin today, it was really really slow. A little more than expected. This is good news for me. It did have a good feel, but even though it was slower the trajectory was high and I missed a lot on opening up shots. That is just a matter of getting used to. But rubber (Mark V) is way...

My eyes are the same way actually even more accentuated. I always wore my glasses playing. When the ball is in trajectory it doesn't matter much, You will see a blur anyway. It is probably easier to adjust to distance with glasses. However I have a problem hitting balls that are slow and not in...

Brokenball will like this 😁 Seriously, the stuff You are stating in these videos is learnt intuitively, It doesn't help to think too much, just practice... Cheer L-zr

If You already suffered from splintering and it is small You can use several layers of laquer to fix this. ALSO oiling Your handle is great. It will protect from moisture AND retain the wood feel (Just need to wipe it an extra time...) I do NOT want the sweat to be absorbed by my handle...

That's natural, If the wood is naked it will also change density according to climate. Old wood is dryer than fresh. Dryer wood attract water more easily. But the water attracted by the glue is miniscule. It's far more likely that it is glue residue leftovers on the blade that is measured...

Putting only stain will ONLY make it look differently. Use a thin layer of any standard varnish on the blade and oil (I use raw linseed oil) on the handle if it is not finnished. - I ALWAYS seal my hinoki blades because it is a soft wood type that splinters very easily, other woods depends... -...

You can mix oil (i.e linseed) with stain, then you will get protection. I use this all the time it’s the be best protection. But it doesn’t protect from splintering. For this you’ll need lawyer. But it’s less of a problem today with the modern glues which are milder. Most important is how you...

That's exactly how I want it. I do thoroughly enjoy Sergio's beautiful and innovative handle designs. But I rather have all parameters right and the blade is to played not to hang in a display, so this is perfect. The handle is made from Western Red Cedar, that (I believe) is one of the species...

Butterfly Innerforce ALC.S, small handle and slow with a huge Innerforce effect. Cheers L-zr

The blade is now dressed with Mark V Max. It is way slower than expected. (This is a good thing). Based on a bounce test (Can not make a real test until Saturday) it is slower than my Yasaka Sweden with MX-S 😲 That was not expected, I had forgotten how slow Mark V really is..., and that the...

Rakza 7 is a tad softer than G1, It also lasts quite a long time. Cheers L-zr

To me it sounds like he has got way too fast equipment, I would recommend a Stiga Allround or Allround evolution. With this blade he can select a rubber with appropriate speed, then eventually go back to the Viscaria. Cheers L-zr

Mjölnir after handle treatment and blade laqering. MJölnir popped out nicely. Now it its waiting for a little blade sanding and some clothes. Cheers L-zr
