Blades you always wished and never had...

[Lostboi]

Is there any blade you really wished to use but never had (for price, destiny's jokes and so on...)?

For me, I would say 3:

• Butterfly Moonbean (early 90s) => I was too young and it was really expensive for that time...
• Banda Waldner (late 80s) => When I started to play in early 90s Waldner was shifting to Donic.
• Butterfly Kreanga Carbon (early '00) => The light blue version. It looked awesome but it was extremely expensive and the dealer told me that it had some problems with glueing ... so bitterly I skipped it.

Yes, both blades are not on the market, and I cannot find them.

This BTY Kreanga Carbon I saw once for sale second-hand, it had gray paint from head sanded out to comply with the ITTF rules.

Yes... after few years it was banned by ITTF for the coating. And I'm unsure the even Kalinikos Kreanga used it for real. I think he used a Viscaria ...

Really? Its that bad? I actually tried it for 5 min and was pretty good. Of cource for longer period and in games it can be different ..

Beautiful blade. I haven't put in the "regret" list, because is still quite easy to find. So I hope to purchase it one day.

Butterfly Matsushita pro model.

I think my EJ days are over, but.... The Matsushita Pro Special holds a fascination. I have the OG MPM, and Sergio made me a very close approximation to the MPS, which I use as my daily bat now, but still, deep down the feeling lingers that the MPS would be the bat that rules them all.

I don't know if will be good to play close to the table?
