Best OFF or OFF-?

What is the best BTY OFF or OFF- blade to get, i have been playing for 6 months now and want a faster blade, im putting sriver-el 2.1 both sides and was just wondering if a Michael Maze would be to fast and if i should go with a OFF or OFF- blade.

But what BTY racket do you suggest for me to use?

A Primorac or a Korbel.

If you use a premade racket, maybe you can change now and upgrade to a custom one.

well, the reason i am looking at butterfly is because at my club, everyone sais its the best, but i dont know.

I may look at other brands though now, thanks for the tips.

Any links to good sites or guys to buy an ALL+ or a OFF- blade would be nice also, much apreciated.

For me the best OFF- blade is the Tibhar Samsonov Alpha which I am currently using. 

Korbel, Jonyer H, Kiso Hinoki V, the 2nd 2 are both Hinoki, great for touch shots but with power for attack when you need it, compact heads and lighter than the Korbel if you need it. Jonyer is rated as OFF but  is at the slower end of the OFF scale and more like OFF-

If looking at other makes Id go for Stiga Tube Light or Donic Waldner Senso

What's happened to the Stradavarius? is that not being used anymore?

The Petr Korbel is a good blade, but the handle is on the small side compared to the Samsonov Alpha, which has a more comfortable handle

Here are some of your best choices available according to me.  I never regulary play with a Carbon Blade, or Carbon Arylate, my two first have been ordered yesterday, and maybe it's wrong to think that way, but I don't think that a beginner player should start with Carbon blades. I coached 2 or 3 guys under 16 that bought a Carbon blade (Smirnov Ultra, Schlager Carbon, and a Stiga ..) in their first year, and they all switch back to all-wood (Apllegreen Allplay, Timo Boll, Stiga Offensive Classic) in less than 6 months. They then stick with wood for a couple of years, and after 5 years, only one have switch to carbon.

Tibhar: Samsonov Alpha
Donic: Waldner/Applegren Allplay, Waldner Senso
Butterfly : Korbel, Primorac (I'd go with the Korbel between those two)
Joola : Torre All+, Stefan Feth Cross

I don't really know much about Galaxy, Dawei, Gambler and Friendship blades, except the fact that they supposed to be good and cheap. DHS, Nittaku, Juic, Andro, Avalox all made good blades too, but I bever had the occasion to try an Allround one in those brands.

well i am probably going to go with a korbel, it seems to have the most recommendations and is a very affordable blade.

does any one have or know any one who has a new or used Korbel on sale, it can also be a wibesite. Ive found a couple but would like some more.

I try every type of blades (carbon, arylate, aramid carbon, one ply hinoki, all wood...)! Believe me, there is nothing better for looping like all wood 5ply blades (with outer ply KOTO). It has great speed, wooden feel, maximum dwell time=maximum spin, maximum control, ... China is No.1 in table tennis, and all China National players use all wood blades, because it is simply the best (all others die like the rest)!

you can get a rubber handdle over it or ask borko to make a new handdle, lol
