It's a light 5ply offensive blade. Tibhar does a good job as usual, sanded handle, sanded head, and is real looker with a nice emblem and a gold tag. I used MX-P and T05 when I tested it.

Nice cheap rubber. Great for backhand in it's soft variant. Decent speed, nice control and is spin insensitive. Feels like a slightly lower cross of T05 and T64. I haven't tried a harder version, but I'm pretty sure a harder variant would be usable on the forehand.
When I first tried this blade out with an Tibhar Evolution MX-P and a Coppa Speed. I found it too fast for my liking, and made it almost impossible for me too loop with. As the ball just flew off my racket. I found it really hard to use. So when I tried it out with the aforementioned rubbers. I...
The Acuda S3 is a nice soft rubber when paired with a Stiff blade. It has great control on loops, flicks, pushes and chops. Though because of it's softness. It lacks the firmness and kick needing for passive blocking and caused my blocks to net, which required me to add effort to make sure that...
An extra light blade, the Balsa Fibretec 75 is perfectly suited to aggressive offensive rallies. Its 7.5 mm thick Balsa core provides high speed and an enormous potency. The two layers of fibreglass increase the stability and allow you to play, thanks to the greater sweet spot, fast attacking...
First impressions...
It is a well built blade, nice comfortable handle pretty exactly the same with the rest of the series having nice handles except for the 06 where I guess some QC issues happened as I noticed handles that weren't symmetrical, that wasn't done right etc. An interesting fact...
Palio Energy 02
First Impressions:
The Palio Energy 02 is a flexy 5ply all wood blade. It has a good feel and a nice kick from the blade. It feels somewhat like my Korbel black tag considering they are both 5ply all wood blades but the Korbel is Stiffer than the 02.

Palio Energy 01
This a 3 ply allwood blade listed as OFF-. I put on the Palio The Way 40+ and the Palio AK47 40+ to review the Energy 01, rubbers were previously on my black tag Korbel. So I'll be comparing this to how it feels on my Korbel.
Initial Impressions
The handle feels pretty...
Hi, this is my review for the Butterfly Korbel FL Handle (Black/Old Tag) in comparison to the Silver Tag model. P.S. I haven't tried the new version with the green gem on the backside of the handle so I can't comment on how different that is.
The Korbel Black has great great feel and feedback...
This shoe, looks good and feels good. Is pretty light and performs well. Though has a tad bit too much grip for my liking. My main problem with this shoe though, is that the flap doesn't stay in place, having me to re-adjust it several times while playing which is very annoying. Perhaps it just...
To date, this is the most durable seamed ball that I've used in comparison to the rest of the seamed polyball offerings from other brands. Though the Seamless version of this is definitely better... Consistency from ball to ball is also very good. My only qualm in regards to this ball, is that...
Great to loop with on the forehand especially with full swing strokes. Some beginners like to use these tacky chinese rubbers on their bh as a "dead" control rubber. This rubber is deadly in a an advanced player's hands. Even unboosted provided you stick this on a fast stiff blade, it'll do the...
This rubber is a wonder, for one who used to only want to use Hurricane 3 Neo on his forehand. I thought that I can never use a Tensor on my forehand and this changed my mind. It feels similar to a Hurricane in terms of it being High Throw and that you need force to generate pace and immense...
Used on a Palio TCT blade. Control is good and it has good spin. Though I don't think it's a match for the blade I used, it would match softer and flexier blades.
Using it on the backhand, it was great for blocking, flicking,pushes and chops. Just ok on bh loops. All in all a good rubber. But...
It's a great shoe and I like the look. I used to use a Butterfly Lezoline but the flap of the shoe kept moving around and it was for some reason too grippy.
I have no complaints with the Tibhar Blue Spirit. Overall a great shoe.
