  1. Cybershape Carbon

    ttgearlabs also measures cybershape carbon higher than the butterfly outer-ALC blades
  2. The Dark Side is getting more and more tempting...

    I have experience of playing both backside, anti, LP and SP. I used to play a lot when I was a junior and the ball was 38mm. At that time there was even more spin involved in the game. With the 38mm ball I found anti and LP work quite well. You would have even more spin reversal. With the...
  3. Downgrade blade back to all-wood?

    Another route could be keeping the inner carbon blade but go for a tacky rubber with harder sponge. Your serve receive will improve and you will be able to produce great amount of spin. Stiga DragonGrip, Yasaka Rakza Z, Tibhar MK could be worth a try if you want to do some EJ. :)
  4. A good downgrade from Fan Zhendong ALC?

    If you struggle with serve receives, then a tacky rubber with harder sponge will help. Glazer 09c is excellent for servic receive, but quite slow on other shots as well. I find Stiga DNA Dragongrip similar at being good for serve receive, but having more speed potential.
  5. Setup Questions

    Really interesting stats in the spreadsheet! Especially the catapult effect is really good the study. Some number are a bit strange though. For instance: - Rozena is Butterfly's hardest rubber - Yasaka Rakza Z Extra hard being softer than regular Rakza Z - Butterfly SuperAnti, which is super...
  6. Setup Questions

    You could go for Glayzer09c for your backhand. It is quite a lot slower, but that is what you need to build up the confidence to use proper BH technique also in matches (as you describe, your BH is much better in practice). Your FH is good, go for Dignics on the FH.
  7. Stiga Inspira Hybrid Carbon

    I have heard the inspira hybrid carbon is assembled in Sweden, but the composite carbon is sourced from Korea. But I can remember wrongly.
  8. Stiga Inspira Hybrid Carbon

    I have played with both Inspira Hybrid Carbon and Timo Boll Spirit (kind of same as TB ALC). Not with same rubbers though, so the comparison is not perfect. My feeling though, is that Inspira Hybrid Carbon is firmer/stable but has a bit more dwell than TB Spirit. Similar speed. I prefer the...
  9. Can somebody compare Stiga Carbonado 90 and 145?

    There is a very thorough test made on ttgearlab.com Carbonado. There you can see how all the Carbonado models compare to eachother as well as compare with other well known blades.
  10. Two new Cybershapes from Stiga (Clipper & AC)

    Well Alser blades have been discontinued and they have been trying to empty the shelves for a long time. Regarding the pricing there are several brands that sell all wood blades around 100 EUR and above: - Victas SWAT Power - Victas Koki Niva Wood - Butterfly SK7 But sure, I agree 70-90 EUR is...
  11. Two new Cybershapes from Stiga (Clipper & AC)

    Actually the new CS blades are not that expensive, AC and Clipper are priced at 70 and 90 EUR in the Stiga online shop.
  12. Two new Cybershapes from Stiga (Clipper & AC)

    AC and Clipper are their bestsellers. Makes sense to have them in Cybershape as well. Also good to have a blade which is speedwise somewhere inbetween (Clipper), Cyberwood and Cybercarbon.
  13. Glayzer 09c (help)

    Glayzer 09c feels very different to T05. It is not a toned down T05. Spin: Quite similar but I think T05 produces a little bit more spin. Speed: T05 is much faster Spin sensitivity: G09c is much more controllable Short game, including banana flick is very easy with G09c. The sponge is harder...
  14. TAKING ON THE EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS! | TTD Team vs Team Sweden

    More like team "Stiga" than team Eslöv.
  15. Can anyone compare dignics 09c to Stiga DNA Hybrid please?

    Very few reviews out there for DNA Hybrid. I am also interested in how they play and how they differ to the DNA Dragongrip.
  16. Advice for upgrade Rkaza 7/Rakza 7 Soft, Tenergy 5/64?

    T64 is very fast and bouncy and has a low throw angle. For me it T64 works very well for counter looping and blocking. The low throw angle makes it less ideal for opening up on heavy underspin or doing over the table chiquitas. However many players use T64 for backhand, so this is just my...
  17. Returning to table tennis, lots of change! Did I buy the wrong blade and rubbers?

    I would advice against going the non tensor route if you played on a reasonable high level in your prime, 25 years ago. I couple of years ago I was in the same place as you, returning from a 25 years break. My first bat was a Stiga Intencity NCT with Rakza7 on FH and MarkV on the BH. It took med...
  18. Butterfly should update thier looks.

    I prefer the look of the classic older blades such as primorac, primorac carbon, TBS. Some of the new blades such as ZJK, TBALC, Apolonia, look more like toys in my humble opinion.
  19. Butterfly T80 Table Tennis Rubber???

    There are plenty of reviews on Tenergy if you hit the search button. Regarding that link: It looks like the old packaging of the rubbers. So there is a risk of getting old "sub-par" rubbers if you order via that link I guess. But I could be wrong.
