Butterfly Secretin question

One guy at my club plays with a BTY Secretin blade with regular Sriver on the forehand (no speed glue) and a hard Chinese rubber on the backhand.  Many of us are so surprised at how much power he can generate with his forehand.  It's enough to put many of us EJ's to shame.

Anyway, I've tried searching for descriptions of his blade but so far have come up empty.  If anybody has a link or description of the BTY Secretin, that would be cool.  I suspect that it was a pre-made and he just scraped off the rubbers and glued Sriver on it.

good old table tennis

Yep, the blade is pretty old.  But his technique, at least on the forehand loop, is good and precise that he's still able to generate good power even with non-speedglued Sriver.  Anyway, many top players including professionals use their old blades.

it's an allround blade. somebody at my club uses one

Concombre - thanks for the pic.  So it was sold as just a blade?  Then it appears my assumption that it's a pre-made is incorrect.  Do you still use it and if so, what kind of rubbers have you put on it?

It has devil speed. but without control.

Hi,

I think that it's a very good blade. The blade is very hard, and fast, but not too much. Mine is not too heavy ~90gr. I don't play very often with this one, but when I use it, I put some soft rubbers on it like energy x-tra or nimbus soft, due to it's rigidity. It's a nice blade with good feeling.

And yes, like riker71 said, a sticker with the French flag was on the handle.

I bought the Secretin, a Kenny Style and a Vriesekoop for fiver dollars in a flea market...

Secretin (ce cr�tin) in French means "this freak".....
