Butterfly release Tomokazu Harimoto New Blade

Oh, possibly a language barrier in there - Apologies if it came across wrong.

I think it's impossible to give advice to someone without video evidence.

Unless people are asking specific equipment questions (what's the difference between T05 and MXP for example).

Video, video, video!

Ok, fare enough.
Another question - how many here have played with both W968 AND TH iALC to give really helpfull advice?

NDH · Mar 5, 2019

Well, no one will have played with the TH ALC because it isn't out yet.

But it looks to be identical to the Innerforce ALC, so that's probably a good comparison.

Changing to Harimoto blade won't help you control. It's still considered a fast blade. Sounds like you need a either slower blade like nittaku acoustic/violin and a softer rubber.

I've played with HL5 with MX-P on both sides before. When I switched to acoustic with G1 and Rakza 7, it was more controllable.

Nice technical approach of the HL3 and HL5 vs (for example) IF ALC. Not exactly TH IALC, but might be pretty close.

Interesting!

Tees Sport have had it delayed until the 10th April (or later).

Is that price converted to 129 dollars when you visit the site? It's closer to 160 dollars in Swedish currency. Robbery.

it show to me $129.48. you see higher price probably because of VAT. I don't have to pay VAT
Butterfly North America sell this blade for $250

Just had this response from them.....

Strange, cause I've ordered Tenergy from them in the past.....

"We don´t have it on stock either.
We are also not allowed to sell Butterfly products outside our district with is Scandinavia. So you have to buy this through the supplier in your country"

DukeGaGa · Mar 20, 2019

Yeah, that's the case now, can't buy butterfly stuff outside your own country, which sucks a lot since the price for butterfly products in the US is on the higher side... Also I've pre-ordered the blade, shipping date is set to April 1st, which I believe is the launch date, or maybe it's just a SCAM (April Fool's Day lol).

NDH · Mar 20, 2019

Butterfly Europe told me I could order from the 1st.

They initially said the UK dealer would have it available from the 1st as well, but this has been pushed back to the 10th.

I may just order it from Butterfly Europe.....

RidTheKid · Mar 20, 2019

You can always order from Prott, ebay etc.

Don't really trust ebay... and their shipping time could be really long. But thanks for the tip on Prott, never tried that before, might give it a go.

NDH · Mar 25, 2019

Butterfly have just told me they also have it delayed back to the 10th April.

I hate delays.......

You're welcome Thomas. The picture is a screenshot from one of the highlight videos from YouTube. Perhaps you could find a video in better quality? The screenshot is taken where the score is 2-0 in games and the score is 1-0 for Tomo.

Now we have Timo and Tomo (and Dima)! (And, of course, The Dictator!)
