Donic makes one of those asymmetric blades also, called the Alligator Combi which I think is marketed for LP players and modern defenders. None of the Butterfly ALC blades are asymmetric. Still, the funny thing is that out of some weird psychological compulsion, I always use black on my FH and...

It is amazing that in Anno Domini 2017 this question is still a Thing.

Perhaps you are ready now for a Timo Boll composite blade.

There are really only a handful of blades that have been produced that are asymmetrical in their construction. One that comes to mind is made by Doubleday in Taiwan, which has ALC on one side and ZLC on the other (which they call the Terminator Z+ ALC). A company called Der Materialspezialist...

For your info, see here. I banned the Andrei dude from UK who has the insane prices on blades. http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=67777&PID=970631&title=warning-about-known-scammers#970631

I have asked that question to several pro players. They don't always give the same answer, although that is ONE of the answers I have gotten more than once.

Definitely much harder feel from MX-P. I played with that combination for awhile. It is good. Occasionally a bit unpredictable. You will definitely have finishing power.

I personally liked the Nittaku J top a whole lot more.

OK now we are making progress!. Before giving up on a pricey and quite classic blade (it is a good blade make no mistake), try to break down what part you feel is coming from the rubber and what is blade. So go ahead and try your older rubber on the Viscaria and then see how it feels. Maybe...

At least two things in this post are demonstrably not correct. 1. Pros often prefer heavier blades. This is well documented. In fact, among people I know who currently or in the past have made a living playing table tennis and who use Viscaria (quite a few people now), every one of them use...

OK let's review (paraphrasing): "In the past I used unspecified 729 racket and outdated Btfly blade (A) with very slow rubber (B). Then I tried quite fast racket X with quite fast rubber Y. I didn't like it, X/Y lacked "punch". The problem must be with racket X because I am good at looping."...

OK, but I do trust LGL, and also, I kind of got that impression from the 1* ones also, even thought they are probably 1* for a reasons.

No. Haven't seen any. I have ordered some 3-star ones, though. I didn't enjoy playing with the 1-star ones, but they are, after all, 1-star.

Spins less than seamless? Doesn't seem entirely positive to me. Oh well.

For you.

You can buy a TB ALC in FL

Dan is right about that. I should have mentioned it above. In addition to the handles, the wings are a little different. More feeling? I love Viscaria and prefer them to TB-ALC but I wouldn't go along with that, especially since the question is, feeling what? Again, more than anything it is...

I have owned a bunch of each. The main difference is the handle shape and length (TB-ALC handle is a little longer, more square). TB-ALC on average is a little harder, I think because they do something to the outer ply, maybe UV light, that makes it slightly harder. On average (meaning if...

The problem with rubber cement aside from racket tests is that some rubbers will gradually shrink while still on the blade.

Different people are going to value different things in a glue so may have different ideas about the best glue. Here is what I want: 1. Ease of use, which means even drying not to fast, not too slow, so you don't get clumping, and not too runny but not too thick either. I don't want to make a...
