Braveheart,
Does it lacks power when you play far from the table? Is it solid or has vibration? I'm planning to put BTY Raystorm on my FH and STIGA EVO on my BH. What's your suggestion?

Not at all. I often play far from the table and I can easily top with good control and, above all, I have not experienced any vibrations.
BTY Raystorm is a really good rubber but I do not know Stiga Evo.

Hi Waldii
i would strongly not recommend you to buy X5 because i think this blade has serious problem with its quality or the carbon layers in particular. I had to throw away the 1st one which i had for 2 months because one of carbon layer sides just went off when i was practicing. I though i didnt take a good care of it or my bad luck to have a deffected one, so i bought another the X5 like 2 months ago. And guess what,same thing happened couple days ago when i was playing, the carbon layer just poped up again from nowhere.
 i mean, i didnt drop it or hit it on the egde of table, i kept it in good hand like my other blades but this X5 is so cheap to quality. Sorry guys i have to say that. Dont buy it.For Kong Linghui special & Timo boll spirit, it depends on how you like the feeling of these blades. They are both aryl-carbon paddles but Kong Linghui Special is softer than Timo Boll Spirit which has medium hard feeling. If you like hard feeling blade, then they are not your options.

my dear o buddy from Europe told me weeks ago that X5 is not made in JAPAN. It's made in some far away E. European country which I'm not gonna name. Even he strongly recommends me NOT to buy that particular blades n a bunch of others too...Tough luck...guys...

The blade is good (a bit slower, but much better control compare to TBS), but I agree with ruarua2603
that the quality is crap. A friend's X5 blade had its wood layers
separated and the carbon layer fell out during practice for no apparent
reason. I wonder if there's any warranty from BTY?

I believe the carbon layers aren't the wire mesh Tamca type, that's why they fall out. IMO.
