You can buy an adolescen from iruiru or jasupo. Yes it's very similar to the korbel but it has more feeling.

Then you are too late. Adolescen was an old type from Butterfly that had been discontinued, then it was reissued and Iruiru was selling it. Apparently it is finished now.

So that is the Japanese version. Usually whenever I have a question, I just sent an email to M/s Suzuki at the English version website, the e-mail address is [email protected]
She is very helpful and reliable.

I have both the Korbel and the Adolscen. The Adolescen's harder and heavier. Quite similar to the Zhang YiNing. I also have the Zhang YiNing.

Beside Iruiru, is there any other place one can get this? I was right all along, Pkorbel = Zhang Yining = Adolescen, Zhang is heavier, harder n it's FL handle is longer compares to Pkorbel

Mece, Suzuki should be the family name. Her name is Michinao, and I make a conclusion that she is a lady from her name.

to0 bad Zhang yining only comes in FL

Ok I may have to rephrase it.
 
Adolescen is quite similar to Zhang Yining. Adolescen is not similar to PKorbel.
 
PKorbel is the softest and lightest of the three.
 
Adolescen and Zhang are faster.
 
They are all very easy to get used to. Good for power drives as well as loops, close table as well as mid distance.
