Butterfly Korbel to Korbel SK7

[ttplayer234]

Hello. I'm currently using Korbel with G1 both sides and looking for a blade with less vibration and a more direct feel. Would Korbel SK7 be a natural upgrade from this. Thanks in advance. If you have any rubber suggestions for an upgrade of G1 please do let me know.

Yes. And G1 should be good.

The sk7 is a bit firmer and faster. Some go from korbel to butterfly Inner force or nittaku acoustic carbon - that's what I did.

2 questions. Harimoto innerforce Alc or Normal version. Also acoustic inner or outer

"I have a question. My Petr Korbel blade starts vibrating intensely after 10 minutes of play. I tapped the blade on my head, and it sounds fine. I also pushed down on the rubbers and tried again, but it still vibrates. The odd thing is that when I leave the racket in its case overnight, the first 10 minutes of play the next day are completely normal, but after that, it starts vibrating a lot."

A friend has the harimoto and I have the Innerforce version. The harimoto is a little head heavy, great for blocking (I found korbel was quite head heavy too - around 93g), I prefer Innerforce slightly over harimoto , it's a touch faster and not head heavy. Both equal for control.

The nittaku acoustic inner carbon, great spin and slightly better feeling , but slower than the other two. I found with some rubbers a bit to much catapult on the nittaku , as fairly flexible blade, so worked better with firmer rubbers like dignics 09c.

For outercarbon blade the butterfly outerforce alc is quite good - designed to be not so fast. Or if you don't want to spend to much yinhe 01 pro - but it lacks the feeling of the korbel.
The sk7 ( I don't own) but had short hit with one, is more a bit solid/firmer than the korbel with a bit more speed.

i used to use pro 01. rubbish tho. no feeling feels like a brick

I will probably go for the innforce alc with g1 both sides

Depends - I used two different ones , quality control not the best. One was 5.75 the other 5.9mm thick so thinner one better. It also depends what rubbers you use. On hard rubbers not much feeling, but softer rubbers was better - great control though for outercarbon blade.

I have used 1.9mm g1, 1.9 mm dignics o5 or 2.1 d 09c on forehand on Innerforce and use battle 2 37 soft or sriver on backhand.

alright

does your blade vibrate in the finger? korbel

 

[steve888]

There is some vibration but that's normal , it's limba outer ply so you get quite a bit of feeling . Butterfly Rozena rubbers go well with korbel too.

 

[steve888]

The butterfly outerforce is quite a good blade too, more feeling than yinhe but not as much spin as Innerforce blade

My new blade korbel with g1 makes a lot more duller noise and bounces less than my old g1 with korbel

Hope it's a legit korbel, some do copies. I am careful where I buy blades from. There is a European version and japaneses version of korbel blades. The Japanese version are harder and faster.

 

[ttplayer234]

both the blades are bought from the same place

 

[steve888]

I often measure the hz of blade before purchase - bounce ball on blade and app in phone measures it. There can be quite a bit of variation between same blade. My korbel measures about 1320 ( I read they can be any where between 1200 and 1330), 1390 for my Innerforce. My FZD blade - 1450.
