May be he found a hard carbon blade is better for the new ball.

I thought I saw a TB 5000 as well in a recent YouTube vid.
He still plays like him so it could be a speed adjustment for the plastic ball... TB T5000 is definitely stiffer, harder and typically heavier than ALC ZLC blades... Mine may come out of retirement yet...

He's not the only who changed his equipment for the new ball. Dima also changed his blade recently.

TB T5000 is a relatively soft carbon blade. Stiff, yes, but hard, no.
T5000 has higher dwell time than ALC and much higher dwell time than ZLC. If anything, I find the blade too soft for my taste. I don't like the feeling of softness/dwell/sinking during blocks. If you loop though, its sooo good. Unless your loop is more like a drive: you go straight through the ball. Then I recommend ALC or ZLC. I see everywhere T5000 advertised as hard, but I 've owned Innerforce T5000, TB T5000 and currently own ZJK T5000 and they are all softer than the ALC , ZLC siblings, which I also have personally owned or currently own. I think that blade is a great fit for Chuang's game. |

No idea why but it is Butterfly's own rating that it is Hard and Fast. In fact T5000 is the third Hardest blade in the chart among a few dozen. Only two, Gergely and Gergely Alpha are rated harder.

I have a hard time believing that a koto layer on top of a carbon layer would be a soft blade! but i do agree among the OFF+ blades the tb t5000 has probably the highest dwell time!

koto layer above zephyllium carbon on the zxi gets compared to bty blades very often. I wonder if they feel the same. Never had an opportunity to hit with a high end bty blade :P |

I have T5000 and I am sure it is not a hard blade. Also and Gergely Carbon. Impossible.
Just a week ago former good level player said the same for his Gergely - it is hard and I explained him Gergely is not a hard blade. He said I am wrong, then he asked me to test something from my blades and I have him my TB ZLF. What do you think he said? - This blade is too soft !  People often mixed fast blades with hard blades and the opposite. Fast blades could be hard, that's right. ZLC/ALC are samples. But could be and soft, depending the construction and thickness. But I haven't seen very soft and very slow blade. |
