Nittaku rates Acoustic as 86/67 (speed/control).
Given that Maze is 8.5/8.0, TBS 8.3/7.9 and Primorac is 7.5/7.9...

Would you agree that Acoustic is 8.6/6.7 on the Butterfly's scale? How would you rate it?

Accoustic is firmly smack in the middle OFF I think. Just a nice average speed blade and good control. But I don't know if Butterfly make any really flexable blades like the Accoustic so maybe you can't really compare them

@notfound 123

The answer to your question is, No, you cannot do that..
The reason is different TT company use different rating for their product. This also apply to rubbers..

 i understand that each company has its own unique rating system, however u can still put a label on any blade.. that is, you know that Maze is faster than Korbel and so u would rate it accordingly.

if one would change Acoustic's label to Butterfly.. what would its speed be?

Nittaku rate acoustic Speed 10.7 , Control 8.3.
Actually in Butterfly scale I think is 8.7 in speed and 8.3 in Control.
Dwell time Acoustic has more than maze.

Thanks, Peter. This is exactly the kind of reply that I was hoping for. I think I agree with you on speed. I do think that it has a bit less control than that... like you can't possibly defend like a chopper with it, so I would say it's around 7 or less, but this is all IMO.

Because it feels springy, not like absorbing feel like defensive blade. But in offensive play, I found Acoustic has more control than Maze and Mizutani. Because it has longer dwell time when looping.

Sorry Peter, i would have to disagree with you on your rating..
IMO, Acoustic should be in the range of Primorac's speed with better control..

which is faster, Primorac or Korbel?
I've found Acoustic is faster than Korbel, never tried Primorac.

I don't remember.. About a year ago, Someone was selling his Primorac and I had a hit with it, i like it, but  after carefully inspected it, the blade has many dings so i didn't bought it..

If it's Primorac Carbon, it's no way Acoustic has the same speed. If it's Primorac all wood, it could be.
