Butterfly blades

Another funny thing i have noticed about butterfly is that their more expensive blades for exsample the timo boll spirit and the kreanga carbon has the text "made in japan" on it. The cheaper blades like the grubba allr+ doesn't have that text. Why? Is it because its made in a different factory outside japan?  �nd a weird thing is that i saw a old (like from the 80s) butterfly grubba allround + on a tournament. guess what! It had the text "made in japan" on it! Also the older blade had a different feeling. The quality seems to be better on the old one?

ya well mrt4 perhaps this different feeling between the old and new blades has something to do with the amount of moisture that is in the wood. Because the demand for table tennis equipment nowadays is much higher than it was back in the 80s manufacturers like butterfly would want to produce as many blades now as fast as possible to meet the demand of the increasing market so this means speeding up the drying process and not letting it fully dry before assembling the paddle. Because when u think about it if the wood holds more moisture in it now then u will be feeling less of the wood and more of a distorted feel, not a "pure wood feel" ,maybe this has nothing to do with it, maybe a tiny bit or a significant amount, I dont know just a guess.
