Apart from the Gergely, I think I'd be turned off from buying any of these just on looks alone. |

Woowoo return of the Power Drive! It was the most popular blade in north america for years. This version is version #3. Honoki and walnut plies for fast top spin game. If the latest version is a bit lighter it will be a huge seller........only if BTY Get's their pricing problems solved.

The new gergely is a fine looking blade, the rest look a bit freaky but still happy to see the/a powerdrive back :)

Is that Gergley called Gergley Alpha ?
Compact head and thickness looks very close to Fukuhara Ai Special.
Here's another one

the best thing about gergely alfa is the size: compact. They mean 154x148. The first gergely carbon was 160 long.
I guess hinoki supplies are getting low and old trees are running out as well.

That Gergely blade looks professional. The new Power Drive looks to be a remake of the old HS Cryser which had a soft feel and was a dream loopers blade. The original Power Drive was on the stiff side and was great for hitting and looping but it was heavy with max rubbers. Hinoki and rosewood compliment the power game but it's doubtful the new model has similiar plies.

Yes the Juic Nebula is very close to the Butterfly Power Drive. I found the flared handle slim though. Great blades for counter driving and smashing as well as looping. Back in the day a Power Drive with max glued Sriver was killer.

I think they look pretty nice, except for the Power Drive II and Defence X. Why is the Redox both in red and blue? I don't see a different model name on them, what's the deal?

Yes the original Power Drive had all wood plysand standard head size. When new the handle had to be sanded because it was covered in shellack to protect the hinoki wood grip. The second version had a compact head size and was offered with 3 handle shapes ST,FL, AN. and was a few grams lighter than the original. Power drive feel was stiff with a nice solid touch. Lots of reserve power for smashes.

First was heavier Gold sticker and 0.2mm thicker and stiffer and faster 2nd the red sticker with the thinner but larger head size 3rd they made the one that has a handle color like Korbel with plastic label in it 4th they made the last version the slowest and softest with writing on the face this should be Power Drive V

Powerdrive 2 - about 5400 yen
gergely alpha - little over 8000 yen
defence pro - about 5500 yen
defence x - about 5000 yen
redox - about 4200 yen
but the real eshop prices will be little bit lower, hopefully as I mentioned.

It's how a model plays and feels.....I could care less about the cosmetics. A Player at my club has a mint condition Power Drive Classic he won't part with. I am trying to kill him with kindness :).

I wonder why they discontinue some blades ( successful ones ) and reinstate it after a while in a new shape and form ? for instance they discontinued the original Keyshot and reinstate it in a new shape " Keyshot light " while something like Mazunov in the running for ages ...
