  1. DHS Hurricane Long 5 vs Butterfly Harimoto Innerforce ALC

    Sure, give me a couple of days to jog my memory, I have a friend who plays Viscaria with Tibhar K1 and Big Dipper.
  2. DHS Hurricane Long 5 vs Butterfly Harimoto Innerforce ALC

    I ended up ordering Harimoto ALC from Japan. It came about 88 grams, wood was of somewhat darker color than regular cream-y color of Harimoto on catalogue. Paired it with Dignics 09C on Forehand and Dignics 05 on backhand. What I like is the amount of spin the blade produces. Everyone who I've...
  3. DHS Hurricane Long 5 vs Butterfly Harimoto Innerforce ALC

    I really hope so. I had bad times trying to sell discontinued Andro and Tibhar blades I had in my stash from days ago. Probably, because no one knew them, and they were not from Butterfly :D And, for some reason, a lot of people I know are afraid of trying expensive DHS blades. It's like they...
  4. DHS Hurricane Long 5 vs Butterfly Harimoto Innerforce ALC

    Can we stop arguing? I mean, we all love table tennis here, and it's really not worth it to get worked up over equipment advice topic. I'd rather prefer we all stay friendly and share experiences about the abovementioned blades and such, rather than pick on something in each other's posts. Back...
  5. DHS Hurricane Long 5 vs Butterfly Harimoto Innerforce ALC

    I can get that Long V for 170$ Harimoto would be trickier, with price being 220 $ I'm now inclined to get Harimoto, but that price difference is a factor. Also, Harimoto would be available only in the middle of April. Worth the wait and price increase?
  6. DHS Hurricane Long 5 vs Butterfly Harimoto Innerforce ALC

    I'm actually pretty chill about using people's advice. I mean, I would not be asking this if I had a complete grasp of what each blade could offer me, and then settling on one. I could buy both, try them both, and settle with one, but that would be a waste, would it not?... Therefore I'm here...
  7. DHS Hurricane Long 5 vs Butterfly Harimoto Innerforce ALC

    I bought CyberShape and sold it after four training sessions, so I can get what you're saying. Still, the question remains, what weight would be ideal for Harimoto, and whether it's worth it to get Harimoto, if this Long 5 is on the table
  8. DHS Hurricane Long 5 vs Butterfly Harimoto Innerforce ALC

    So, should I go for this particular Long 5, or it's better to get a default Harimoto ALC?
  9. DHS Hurricane Long 5 vs Butterfly Harimoto Innerforce ALC

    My forehand is more destructive. Most of my winners are strong forehand loops, loaded with spin. If I'm playing short, I'll either push close to the net, or do sorta "pancake" flip to start a rally. My backhand is more of a... Tool, to initiate my attack, or start a rally, to pressure. Banana...
  10. DHS Hurricane Long 5 vs Butterfly Harimoto Innerforce ALC

    Hello. And yeah, I know that this question has been asked, probably, a good number of times, but I still want to ask it, since I'm not sure which blade should I pick between those two. For personal reasons I have to give away my Maze Blade (Dad started playing again) so I'm looking for...
  11. Stiga DNA Platinum XH vs H on forehand

    Hello. Trying to decide, which version of the Stiga DNA Platinum rubber to use on my forehand with Stiga Cybershape Carbon. And I'm only choosing from DNA Platinum rubbers, it's sort of a gift for me from another person, who can get his hands on those very cheap. I used to play with Butterfly...
  12. Stiga DNA Platinum Rubbers

    I wonder how would DNA Platinum H or XH compare to Butterfly Dignics 09C, regarding spin specifically. I do get that on H and XH the sponge is a lot harder, so you have less of a dwell time to "spin" the ball, and DNA is a lot faster, but, hypothetically, using the same blade, which rubber...
  13. Butterfly Super ZLC blade - genuine or fake?

    One of the offers that I have on the table is trading JM SZLC for W968, and I'm considering it. One things that I don't understand about them is something about a number. The guy selling the blade says he only sells it bcuz he aquired №1. It's the same w968, but the number after the w 986...
  14. Butterfly Super ZLC blade - genuine or fake?

    You had BTY blades without TBE marking on the box, and they preformed the same way as the TBE blades?
  15. Butterfly Super ZLC blade - genuine or fake?

    Mostly because I really want to try blades made for internal japanese market for myself and see, whether they truly are better or it's a placebo (as I've mentioned above, my clubmates telling me that Japanese market Viscaria's have more control and wood feels better than TBE ones). But the more...
  16. Butterfly Super ZLC blade - genuine or fake?

    Because I really want to try that blade. Also, my clubmates always tell me that TBE blades are different, compared to the blades made for Japanese matket. But now I'm seriously doubting that decision. 420-ish USD. About the same price I paid for my JM S ZLC. I'm roughly estimating the price in...
  17. Butterfly Super ZLC blade - genuine or fake?

    It's not me on the attached pics,it's the seller. I guess I could ask him to take another pic just to clarify serial number on the blade and he would oblige. As for emailing Butterfly Japan, has that ever worked for anyone? I might try that as well, but I'm not hoping for much Yeah, going by...
  18. Butterfly Super ZLC blade - genuine or fake?

    On Butterfly chart it's reaction score was lower than Jun Mizutani's, so I figured it was a bit slower. Also, word of mouth from other people telling me that they feel it to be the most controlable in the regular SZLC range. Also, I find it curious that blades with the same composition feel...
  19. Butterfly Super ZLC blade - genuine or fake?

    Yeah, I'm in doubt, but I so want to try the "fabled" japanese quality, as I've been playing with TBE blades all my life. Is it really faster? I've been repeatedly told that it's the blade with the most control of all Super ZLC blades. As to why Super ZLC - mostly because of the increased sweet...
