blade advice

[sebas-aguirre]

anybody used

-butterfly hinoki shake speedy
-butterfly power 7

I'm considering these blades now.
any comparison with alc blades (tbs, tb alc, zj, viscaria) would be great.

I don't know much about the Power 7. The Hinoki Shake Speedy is out of production, but it's still a popular blade here in Argentina. My coach uses Shake Speedy as his main blade, he has tried All Hinoki 7, Amultart, Zjk and maybe others. He also uses Zjk, but just for training, and says it's one of the best all wood blades.

I tried it, it's fast, faster than my Kumpuru and faster than Zjk. I just tried it for a few moment, so i can't give you a full impresion, but i could do good strokes with it (paired with T05 on both sides). I think it comes only with fl handle. This handle is thin, i expected it to be unconfortable, but not, it's ok.

I used it (the hinoki...) the other day.
it had bluefire jp01 on both sides.
was not bad, similar speed to my zhang jike alc with tenergy 05 both sides.

what I don't like is the thin handle and the head is bigger than the alc blades.
so I'm not sure.

many players have it in buenos aires, I think because they copy the setup of the butterfly distributor
