Butterfly Diode Pro

[Lobre84]

I am modern defender. Just switch from VKM special to VKM offensive. Looking to buy new Butterfly Diode Pro. Did anyone test it? How it will go with Feint Long 3 - 1.3 mm and Hurricane National?

It's only available a few days, so I doubt if anyone here already had enough time with it to share his/her opinion on the blade. However, I did stumble upon this vid on YT:

I’m also waiting for more reviews of Diode Pro. But I’m curious - why did you switch from VKM Special to Offensive?

Playing with FangBo B2X, Battle II Blue 39deg and Saviga Monster 77 ox
Actually I play mainly on FH side and have very spinny shot at above averange speed. The BH only block and use spin revesal for disturb opponent.
Just switch to Long Pip about 2 months and wanna try a def blade.
I bought Diode Pro already. The blade is 90gr. May be pair with Battle III Orange 40deg and Dawei 388D-1 ox Just wonder about speed of the FH
Still wait for any review 😁

Update after the first session:
- Blade: Diode Pro 90gr
- The FH side: H3 Neo market 39 deg
+ Very heavy top spin but speed is slower than FangBo2X (of course because FB is off++)
+ 5-ply all wood 5.5mm give the catapult effect much bigger than FangBo2X 6.0mm with inner carbon. You can return the ball slowly with passive block, but kick-effect is huge when counter attack
+ Very heavy back spin due to long contact time with the ball. With tacky H3 rubber, you can feel like holding the ball on your bat.
+ Flat hit at average speed
+ Nice placement
+ Block almost automatic, the ball can not out of table due to it averange speed
- The BH side: Saviga Monster 77 ox
+ Block near table is almost automatic, actually you can not miss, just catch the ball and the bat will do it itself. So boring (or funny, ha ha ha). Block the topspin the ball always goes short with heavy back spin. Opponent really hard to launch a dangerous attack. They will choose open an safer and slower attack which you can counter attack or just continue block it.
+ Chop far from table is soo sweet, the ball go very low,near the net and the fly trajectory soooooo nice
+ Very controllable placement
+ Just change from pimple in to long pip 2 months and do not have other long pip skill to review
Summary:
+ Speed is above averange (feeling like all+ to off-) to loop kill with heavy monster top spin
+ Can-not-miss feeling with magic placement
+ Suitable for Counter attack or Modern Defender player

update after 1 month: exactly like the last post:
- Fit so well with Long pip, They are born for each others
- FH counter attack is very good, can-not-miss feeling
