  1. New Equipment 2017

    Thank you for remembering my reply on the Golden Tango! That sounds promising, I can't wait to hear more as you get to test it out longer. Great to hear that it's actually sticky and quite bouncy plus on the light side. I just saw that they also have it with a 2.3mm max sponge, just like the new...
  2. Butterfly Gionis All+ for offensive intermediate player?

    Write the store an email before ordering, and ask if you can request the specific weight you want for the blade you choose. I always ask the store for my desired blade weight.
  3. Advice re viscaria and Michael maze alc

    Where are the blades listed? Are they both black tag?
  4. The most aesthetically pleasing serve for you?

    Tristan Flore's high toss right now
  5. Tenergy... substitute for my Z2?

    That's a long lifespan. Tenergy won't last longer than that. And for the price of Tenergy, you're better off changing your current rubber twice as often if you need given its price. Also, if you really like your rubber, stick with it. What you can also do to revive your rubber after 1 month or...
  6. malong changed the table placement.

    He actually moved the table a lot, no way they didn't notice! It probably made a noise too. They should have immediately given the point to Gauzy, but maybe he won it before they even had time to stop play.
  7. New Equipment 2017

    Interesting product description. Looking forward to reading your impressions!
  8. What handle type do you use

    ST for me! Some FL handles feel too big for me (especially 25mm) and I end up gripping them too hard. I also don't like how the flare hits the bottom of my hand. With ST, I feel like I can grip very lightly with my index and thumb and barely rest my other fingers on the handle. It also feels...
  9. Five Arylate Carbon Blades - Which one would you choose and why?

    I would pick the Fang Bo 2 for its offensiveness, great looking handle and I've read many positive reviews including on the threads. Wish it came in ST handle though.
  10. Are there any non-Asian penholders?

    There are two players from South America who are penholders at my club. One of them played for the Nicaraguan national team and represented his country in 3 ITTF World Events. I played with him yesterday, he's currently using a ZJK SZLC C-PEN, but I've seen him rotate blades quite a bit in the...
  11. Butterfly balls

    Ha, you should stop by LATTA sometime! Literally a block away from where the LA Open is held. That's where I play. I'm moving back to France around the holidays, but I'll try to make it back to LA for the 2018 Open, maybe I'll see you there!
  12. Butterfly balls

    Haha, well if I see you next year maybe you can let me give the Kim Jung Hoon and Karis rubbers a try!
  13. Butterfly Marcos Freitas ALC Blade Review!

    Great video! Thanks Dan and Marcos for the review! Considering trying this blade in the future. Also looking forward to the reviews with Simon Gauzy and the Aurus Prime with Paul Drinhall! Cheers
  14. Butterfly balls

    If the Flash is bad enough already, I can't imagine of their previous 40+ ball plays... I'm not even going to try lol I noticed a guy decked out in Nexy at the LA Open, it wasn't until you posted pics on the forum a few days ago that I realized it was you otherwise I would have said hi!
  15. Butterfly balls

    I feel the same way. XSF and Joola 40+ are the worst to me. Bad memories of the LA Open? Think I saw you there!
  16. Butterfly balls

    Looks like we're going to have to wait until at least the end of the year. Not sure when Butterfly Europe will start stocking them but definitely sometime after Japan (Nov. 21). I doubt it'll be quite as good or better than the Nittaku Premium, but let us hope! In the meantime, I'd play with...
  17. Butterfly balls

    I think that's Butterfly intent there, for the A40+ ball to be their best plastic ball and similar to Nittaku Premium. They are choosing it to be the ball for the World Championships, whereas the G40+ ball was never selected for a major tournament. I wouldn't call the G40+ the worst plastic...
  18. Clone Blades

    A list of Yinhe and Sword blades and their Butterfly equivalents would be nice. Anyone!? ;) I wouldn't mind trying the Yinhe or Sword "Viscarias" and ZLC's myself. Here's an extended database of blades and their compositions for you, although Yinhe blades are unfortunately not listed...
  19. Butterfly balls

    Their new ball the A40+ is coming out by the end of the year (November 21st in Japan) and will be used at the 2018 ITTF World Championships. I'm assuming they're made of ABS plastic like Nittaku Premium, similar material to all the new improved generation of plastic balls (DHS D40+, Stiga...
  20. Most Soft-Feeling Artificial Fiber

    Thank you for the valuable info! It seems like most of the Butterfly-sponsored players in the US who play with ZJK either chose ZLC or ALC but never SZLC. I always thought there has to be something to it, and your and Michael's impressions make sense of it. Is Michael still playing regularly...
