What butterfly blade should i get?

[Machi]

Im a beginner and I want to switch from a pre made racket to a custom racket.
The shops near me doesnh't have a petr korbel blade but has a primorac blade and a Kumpuru blade.
Which one should I get? With what rubber?(only butterfly because its hard to find other brands in my country)

I'd go Boll CAF with two Rozena in your situation.

Primorac is a great blade for you! I recomend Rozena on backhand and forehand. 2.1 on forehand and 1.9 on backhand. 2.1 on backhand will work as well! Have fun with your new blade!

Take the Primorac and two Rozena 1.9mm. This a perfect setup to learn everything. Once you have developed switching to something faster/harder with the rubbers is easy. The blade can stay forever.

Primorac is a great blade.

Unfortunately Butterfly does not have many rubbers which are suitable for beginners. Rozena is ok. If you can get it, try to get something like Friendship Battle II on both sides, or DHS Hurricane 3 NEO on both sides.

Primorac + Hurricane 3 NEO is the ideal setup in my opinion, and you should be able to order Hurricane 3 NEO on Ali Express. If you absolutely have to buy Butterfly products, then go for Rozena.

I'd recommend getting the same rubber on both sides. Playing with two different rubbers is something you can do, but there should be a specific reason to do it (i.e. a specific strength or weakness on one side). You can figure this out later -- for your first custom bat, just play with two of the same rubber. After 6 months your rubbers will wear out, and you will have a better understanding of your strengths and weaknesses.

How about Kumpuru blade? There is not much information about it compared to primorac so im curious about it.

Kumpuru has carbon in it. Stay away from carbon until you are an advanced player. Stay with all-wood blades. Carbon is extremely fast and you won't be able to control it. Also, carbon does not give good vibration and feedback, so you will not learn as quickly.

Primorac is a "gold standard" blade. Extremely good quality, good for learning, and you can continue using it until you are an advanced player. I would highly recommend Primorac.

but the butterfly website says its abit slower than primorac and has more vibration. I'm very confused now. But thanks for answering!

No just get the Primorac is much bettter choice. Put Rozenas on and start practicing!

With what rubber?(only butterfly because its hard to find other brands in my country)

Actually, Sriver may be a better option than Rozena. I've tried Rozena and I thought it was hard to control. Sriver is a classic rubber which has been in use for more than 50 years, and it doesn't have this "trampoline effect" that modern Butterfly rubbers have. The trampoline effect makes the rubber faster, but at the expense of control. Receiving a short spinny serve with a trampoline rubber (like Rozena) is extremely difficult.

My real recommendation is to go to Ali Express and buy "Hurricane 3 NEO" or "Friendship Battle 2". Butterfly doesn't really make good rubbers for beginners (except for Pan Asia and Wakaba, which you find on pre-made bats). Once you have learned a bit more, you can come back to Butterfly and buy their Tenergy/Dignics rubbers.

Oh, that might be true. If that is the case, then Kumpuru is a very weird blade indeed. Even slow carbon blades do not have the same feeling as wood blades. You can try it if you like, but it would be a bit risky and it might impede your learning. Primorac is well-known as one of the best blades available.

 

[Lazer]

Not weird at all, So many different composite materials and not all makes the blade stiffer.

[Tyce]

Primorac (not Primorac carbon!)
Grubba Allround
Hadraw 5
Even Falcima

All fine choices

Thanks for the recommendations

How would glayzer/glayzer 09c compare to rozena on forehand? I bought rozena for backhand but still choosing on which forehand rubber to use.

IMO if you still learning the strokes, Primorac and Sriver is your best bet.

Glayzer 09c will be good for forehand. Put it on both sides, honestly.

Rozena is way too bouncy for learning in my opinion. I guess it is possible to learn with it but not what I would recommend. If you have to choose something, G09c is your best option.

Are you forehand-dominant or backhand-dominant?

 

[joshmak10]

I think you cannot go wrong with a Primorac with H3N Regular on FH and Rozena on BH to start out. Then as you get better, you can switch to my set up or similar: Viscaria with H3N Blue Provicnial and Dignics 80 or any other Dignics/Tenergy.
