I own those:
Senkoh 90-love it for it's versatility and feeling. A keeper for ever
Mazunov-one of the best 5ply allwood blades I've tried so far.
Amultart-excellent blade for loopers like me.

Grubba Pro FL, but I hate the handle. It's too thin, so I added a bunch of grip tape. I'd rather have the comfy feel of wood in my hand though, but the grip tape is not bad.

Started using Innerforce ZLC, FL again:
Donic Coppa X1 Turbo Platin 1.8 Red
Donic Baracuda Black 2.0
 
I wrapped the handle with some tape to make it a "ST", and balance (a little head-heavy before). It plays awesome again despite heavy coating with Poly.

I like the Original ZJK because the handle is more tapered than FL. fairly wide and comfortable compared to the TBS and TB ZLC.

I voted for the TBS but I have a BCX5 too.
Last night I played with my TBS with T05 against the coach.

I've used the TB ZLF and TB ALC, both for a couple of years each, and I now use a Maze.

I own a Primorac OFF- because it was the blade I used to learn loop with. I have T05 on it now and will play with it when I get bored with my present setup. I also own a primo HS Cryser.  Primorac and T05 is soooooo spinny! :)

Any suggestions?

Yup.  She holds the bat, and I swing her around.  She's got a small head size, so her balance is perfect for my woman-swinging style.
This was a great signature until I realised it was overrated.

The four you put in the poll are all very, very close to each other.  From those two, I'd go for the Boll ALC myself, but only because I had a Jike (old version) and didn't like it for some unfathomable reason.

Indeed - in terms of composition, they are all identical. The greatest practical difference comes down to handles (which are different on all of them) and weight balance (the TBS and Viscaria are more head-heavy than the TB ALC, for example.)

The poll should've have been broader instead of so selective.  OP should've listed some of the popular BTY blades such as:

Korbel/Primorac Off-, Primorac/Schalger Carbon, TBS/Maze, TB ALC/IF ALC, Viscaria, IF ZLC/TB ZLC, Photino/TB ZLF, Mazunov/Korbel SK7, JSH/Matsushita Pro Model

i also find the squarish ST handle of the TB series really comfortable

Tamaropa, it is a few years old.  A hinoki blade with great feel.

Played with Petr Korbel flare (very uncomfortable handle) then TBS ST (a lot better) for awhile.

THanks for your reviews.

I am new to butterfly blades and wondering what to get, havent said that, i have tried the TBS which is too small (handle) for me...

I'm thinking of ALC should be a good choice, ST or FL handle?
