Later on this year guys Butterfly will be releasing some new blades. What do you think of them? Will you be buying one?

Timo Boll W5 - 5-ply wood - Interesting looking blade which looks nice.

The blade is characterized by five plywood racket with a soft feel at impact. At the same time the power of attack, It allows the best players to focus on balance and stability on the ball.

Keyshot g - Arylate/3-ply wood - The Keyshot upgrade

[TTKHerckenrode]

damn i'm only dream about that kinda a blades

 

[YosuaYosan]

Never get attracted right away tho..
I prefer products that withstand ages..
For rubbers --> Sriver (1967-now) for example
For blades --> Dunno yet..

Btw the blade looks flashy, the price must be flashy too

Wow! Sriver has been around since 1967?

Wow! Sriver has been around since 1967?

Wow ! Its quite a surprise that you don't know !
Yep, its Butterfly's best-seller since 1967
Some 70's player like Primorac still use it until today, I think..

 

[ttmonster]

Primaroc is a late '80s player not '70s

According to wiki, Primorac was born in 1969 .. so I guess it would be unfair to call him 70's player

He is born in 1969, yes ?
Then he played table tennis before he is 10 y.o.
That makes him the 70's player and a late 60's table tennis player to

 

[Bollforte94]

too expensive ... I will test the new Stiga Intensity

LOL ... so the setup he was born with had Sriver on both sides

 

[YosuaYosan]

Who knows
Sriver is like the best rubber that time, so yeah maybe his first bat is like sriver-sriver combination.

 

[poltery]

i was thinking is timo boll W5 gonna be better than timo boll w7 in terms of speed?

 

[azlan]

I was born in 1969, picked up my first proper bat in 1980, I was in primary 5. Lucky for me I just skipped the label of being a 70's player.. pheww

Wow, you must be a very experienced player by now !
Hormat, pak cik !

My greeting from Indonesia !

 

[ddudhane]

Even the Yasaka Mark V has a similar pedigree!

 

[ddudhane]

Hey, it's not such a bad label to have!!!
I am proud to be a 70s player. It was a great time with long rallies involving a whole lot of planning within a single point! Today's game has the same amount of planning in the whole game!
BTW, i'm 52 born, so i'm not a child prodigy!!

Nothing personal against the label .. just was pulling Yosua's leg thats it . Seriously , some of us take up TT so that we can make it a life time sport. That according to me is the biggest advantage TT has over most other sports. Its such a mix of skill , fitness , dexterity and smartness that people can make up their own mix as they grow old and still remain competitive

Totally agreed brother, I take TT as a lifetime sport to
Table tennis is not for the young only, the seniors have an advantage of mental clarity, emotion managing and strategy despite the fact that their athletic skill is diminishing !
While I'm young now, I hone my tactical skill, not only my athletic skill so when Im older I could remain competitive
Quote from Jan-Ove : "I would like to emphasize that it takes a long time to become a good table tennis player. There are always new things to learn. Try to think long-term and avoid focusing too much on results when you are young."

 

[ddudhane]

Don't worry, no offence taken as i'm sure none was intended.
I totally agree that TT is a lifetime sport. Plan to play it to my last day, may it be far away.
