I see these 2 names come up a lot on Aliexpress. Are these real table tennis companies? or just random factories? Has anybody tried their rackets and how are they?
Âthese days, when even companies like Butterfly (just to mention 1 of the big ones) have some of their goods manufactured in China and
European companies are doing the same, it is impossible to say what and where the origin of a blade is.
The above mentioned companies are known to sell clowns and/or copies of well known manufacturers products.
I have seen some of the products that """Look """ as well manufactured as the originals B U T i have also seen some that look like complete crap. 😁
Often, when looking for a clowned item one can find better ones at a better price too and some are of excellent quality.
think of big Chinese factories that might make several thousand of 1 specific item. Buyers then buy a few hundred units
from the manufacturer choosing from different graded quality. Once anyone buys a certain amount, this stock can be individualized with different
handles, different printings, different plastic inserts etc. etc..
It is a Jungle out there
Most of the time when we spend top money on a top brand we get a guarantee of top quality product.
Sometimes though even these top quality product are known to de-laminate and fall apart 😆
Are they actually trying to clone the butterfly composition? Weight, wood type, thickness? Or they just make a racket to only cosmetically look like the butterfly?

that is not easy to answer. It is probably a bit of both.
If you are lucky you can actually end up with a clone that has been nicely made, the wood combo and the fibers can be same or similar and
the blade will play just about un-distinguishable from the real thing. for about 1 / 10 of the price.
I have Stuor Ma Long 5. Ok for the price but very different then original
Is it actually arylate carbon weave? Or just a standard black carbon? Is it inner carbon?
How is it different? A lot slower?

ALC or carbokevlar . pretty much a rip off of the BTF innerlayer.
Some come with limba outer and some with Koto.
In this case the Stuor Ma Long 5 is typical to what i said before : you can get a better made version cheaper somewhere else on Ali

Can you link to the one you say is better and cheaper?
I got a BTY Revoldia last year. The blade played fine, and quality was OK, but i can't tell you If it was as the original,since I haven't tried it
I also got once a "Viscarla" clone that played absolutely identicaly to the legit. Even our domestic pro didn't realize it was a clone indeed
Can you link to the two items you bought?

you are mixing up the posts...
I am also interested in testing an Lemuria blade, like super zlc or revoldia but i am not sure if it is not a waste of money.
You should get one and tell us how it is. I also ordered a Zhang Jike ZLC fake for $20 just to see how it is.
