Upgrade from Ma Lin Carbon

[SwingRobo]

Butterfly 3+2 blade is really fast and easy control with short pimples on bh
,primorac carbon is suitable for forehand smash,and W.Schlager light is good for loop play.
Although it may takes a little more time to master

 

[MOG]

is the handle thin on innerforce layer alc like dhs blades?
or thicker like stiga and yasaka?

similar to yasaka malin carbon，a little bit thinner than viscaria

 

[Tembel]

don't want stiga with koto that's a totally different feel

You mentioned in a post that a bit harder blade might be an improvement for your pimples. That is why I suggested some inner carbon blades with Koto top since it is a little bit harder than Limba.

yes that makes sense. i just find the koto carbon blades a bit too much. basically i just want a ma lin carbon +. i tried a 95g but it was awful, as that was the sensible thing to try first. i will probably just take a punt on an 86g innerforce layer alc if i can get one at that weight

is the innerforce layer alc head heavy or balanced?

I know it is not what you want to hear, but I really can recommend Stiga Clipper. Until very recently I used to play SP on backhand(Victas Spectol S3 and Stiga Symmetry). I had them on a Viscaria, Harimoto inner ALC and on Cybershape Clipper. The Clipper is what worked best for me.

I have two around the 87g mark and I would give them a verdict of balanced. Definitely not top heavy.

I used to play with it, it is balanced very nicely and not head heavy at all.

Yasaka Resonate AI.

I have a few of these and good with spinny rubbers like the H3 (gives the rubber lots of power) and good with pimples as it has good control but still has that power in it when needed. Has a thicker outer wood which has good feel and transfers power when you need it and blocks well. This blade is ridiculously well priced compared to its performance.

what is stiga symmetry like in comparison with spectol s3. as much detail as possible please?

A bit harder might actually improve the pips on bh!

You are a strong candidate for a Primorac Carbon. MANY of the Korean pips players use a fast and stiff blade for their long pips.

On loop drives, nearly nothing performs better. On counter shots, tough to beat it too. Still able to do slow opening surprisingly (although it is tougher to do it than most).

You holistically look at what shots you do most, which count the most and get equipment that makes it easy to do those...

From what I have seen you describe, what the Primorac Carbon does easily (or makes it easier to do) (which is a short explanation of control) and getting a blade that makes it easy to do the stuff you do the most makes sense.

Difficult for anyone to say one of the fassssstest blades in the worlllllllld is controllllllable may sound like an oxymoron, but it is true... if you do the stuff that a PC facilitates.

More traditional shape of the pimples for the symmetry. Easier to hit spinny shots with symmetry, but less strange pimple effect on the ball.

So if it is deception you want, then go for Spectol S3, but for more traditional attacking and also your own spin generation, then go for symmetry.

Primorac Carbon be way toooooo fassstttttt on my fh. I have tried that blade in the past. I think I either stick with MLC or try an innerforce.
I am going to try victas 102 and waran 2 pips as I don't think spectol s3 are great for me anymore!

@MOG if you get 1 hour with me and that setup, you would think much different.

 

[MORTtheORT]

Side note, why not just faster rubbers?

happy with the rubbers

Ok!
Just wondering cause I like the Yasaka handles and been eyeing the Falck Carbon.

I think the IF ALC would be about the same though? Similar thickness and composition.

I have a falck carbon for sale if you want it £50 + postage
