limba and ayous are visually nearly indistinguishable from each other and basically all of the butterfly blades with ALC use ayous as second layer, same as the ones i wrote before

you searched for the outer, but i wrote donic whiper inner

donic whipper inner is kiri core and yellow alc harimoto super alc is kiri core and same as harimoto super zlc

then i don’t get where the loss of confidence comes from. but i know players that are really good like around 1900 TTR (2200 ustt) but don’t feel any difference when playing different equipment. if you are one of those lucky ones then just choose the cheapest equipment you can get away with...

as @Matteones already said: you really overcomplicate equipment. you will not play better because of equipment, but because of dedicated training and experience. if you switch all the time you just get confused and loose touch and confidence as clearly shown in your extended post

for me the throw of HAL is high too, but i came from Viscaria. if you come from 5ply Allwood, then maybe the throw feels low. i think the review is pretty accurate and in line with my feelings about the blade. but they are feeling based, so...

he doesn’t. he actually plays with this blade, as you can see in pictures from ‚mytischtennis‘ it is basically like the old hugo SAL blade by xiom but with limpa top ply instead of koto. but i don’t think the rubbers will be the same as in the store, 52,5 sounds a bit soft for a player like...

maybe the term mid range is to vague to agree on it in the first place. but from what i heard by the players mentioned, you need a bit more force to get the carbon activated, so the power starts later compared to outercarbon blades

i never played innerforce, but know many people that do and can tell you that these blades are not meant for the midrange. you can go faster and get yourself an outer carbon blade, maybe something easier to play like Freitas ALC or Outerforce ALC, but since you change equipment quite often i...

yes you are right, the older generation of hybrids were all closer to chinese. most of them have been discontinued or are not available in europe like hybrid k2. from the ones left to buy i only tried rakza z extra hard and for me it felt a bit more lively, more tensor style with a way higher...

a really good rubber with it‘s own DNA! kinda like a mixture between a strongly boosted chinese rubber with a pinch of esn bounce and feeling. such a relief to go to the training hall and not worry about the loss of booster effect, because this rubber plays the same all the time like G-1 and...

a good tabletennis sealer does not change the feeling, i even tested this with my own blade and only sealed one side and used two red vega x on both sides and it felt completely the same. i even gave it around in my club and asked who can spot the sealed side and most agreed that they can not...

zlf is a really good blade, similar to the blade i play Xiom HAL, but it's discontinued and they not made a replacement yet. so i would try to stay with the blade and just use older generation rubber like xiom vega china or rakza Z extra hard. both are really dead in comparision to dignics 09c...

yes, you are overthinking this. play faster when you want to play faster, play slow and spinny when you want to play slow and spinny

fastarc g-1 and vega pro are the longest lasting ones, but both don't have the kick, katapult and dynamic that mx-p provides. something like victas ventus extra and xiom vega x are closer to the playing characteristics of mx-p but easier to play and last longer too, but not as long as something...

ma lin carbon is pretty slow for modern tabletennis. just try any innerforce ALC type blade and you will get a similar gameplay, just faster

where do you read he played at 3rd devision? i could only find him play at verbandsoberliga nord that is 6. division and with ttr only around 2000 wich is pretty low considering that you want to go way higher. find yourself a coach that has at least 2200-2300 ttr and actually played 2nd or 3rd...

for me butterfly always had a different feeling and if you like it then it is quite hard to find elsewhere. some other japanese produced rubber come close like nexy etika or stiga mantra series, you can try them and maybe like them even more, but they still have their own DNA. it doesn’t matter...

i tried vega china and was really suprised! it plays nothing like any hybrid i tried expect maybe for joola golden tango, but this rubber is discontinued and i tried it over 5 years ago. it doesn't feel as hard as the sponge would suggest, because the topsheet is heavily stretched so the ball...

many people i know still play tenergy and they all say that the quality of rubbers went down over the years, same with people playing d09c. so i would say the durability is coming from old times and is not an argument against esn anymore, because g1 and vega pro can outperform tenergy nowadays...
