Hi,
Love the Petr Korbel blade (92g) but a bit heavy (187g with rubbers) and handle a bit thin. Has a lovely sense of control and feeling but feels a touch heavy in the head, so harder to swing so sometimes miss hits and slower swings. Like its speed and spin. I am use to a 170/175g blade with rubbers.
Wondering if either of these two blades - Butterfly Hadraw 5 and Butterfly Falcima have a similar levels of feeling and control but better balanced blade, a little lighter and don't mind a touch faster.
I did see a Hadraw at 81g blade (sounds light - maybe slower??) and Falcima at 86 g (but heard not as controllable/less feeling??). Are they an upgrade or side move or to uncontrollable. Someone did suggest the Korbel has a larger head (2mm taller and 1mm wider blade than normal) maybe filing a bit off the top (1-2 mm rounding it) to lessen the weight.
Any thoughts or suggestions. Or other blade suggestions. Many Thanks.
Steve

Butterfly blades have handles on the thinner side but I love that about their handles.

If you like the Korbel, you can just ask wherever you buy it from for a specific weight. Most stores will be happy to find you one close to the weight you requested.
