Butterfly BalsaCarbo X5, only balsa blade made by Butterfly. Rumored to be only butterfly blade made in china. Retains Butterfly traditional high price. it's going to be a collector's item. ------------- The Dark Side is: "Quicker, easier, more seductive" - Yoda |

The Butterfly Lindmae Special has a balsa core and is made in China too. It's the only model that can be sold anywhere in the world from that shop - they say - and I am not sure why that special status. It was an isolated agreement, I read somewhere about a license given to a group of older LP players who wanted that composition but Butterfly did not want to make it part of their official lineup. http://www.pingpong.ee/toode/70-Butterfly-Limited-Edition-Balsa-Carbon-Lindmae-Special" rel="nofollow - https://www.pingpong.ee/toode/70-Butterfly-Limited-Edition-Balsa-Carbon-Lindmae-Special ("English" button on the top right) You can have it light at 85gr but the 4 ST ones that I own are all handpicked at 99gr when I let them in a dry environment but they can go up to 101 when humidity rises. LP on one side of those allows a quick fh with a total weight under 180gr. For inverted, there is not much that does not make the setup an anvil, maybe AK47 on both sides will give an acceptable 190gr for those many players who are used to play a 88gr blade on which they put 2 51gr inverted rubbers. Stiff and very fast with no vibration, ooh...  ------------- /forum/topic91512_page1.html#1124698" rel="nofollow - sales - forum_posts.asp?TID=19315" rel="nofollow - feedback |

Unlike what
happened in the “Dignics vs Tenergy” topic I will stick to the thread. I own a
Viscaria and a Zhang Jike ZLC (not the Super), and hit before with TBS and Timo
ZLF. Viscaria and
TBS are almost the same in terms of speed, control and vibration, so I will
comment only about Viscaria. 2 – Viscaria
ups are: excellent feeling, superb control on loops and few vibration. Cons:
not too fast fast (for those who demand it). ZJK ZLC ups: great speed, big sweet spot, few vibration. Cons: less feeling than Viscaria, less control and harder touch. Timo ZLF ups: greatest feedback among all BTY composite blades, excellent control on loops, short game and blocks. Cons: lack of speed. 3 – All 3
blades are excellent for the two-winged looper, with some details. Viscaria
has the edge in my opinion. It´s the most balanced between speed and control,
and also pleasure to play. I can´t say what rubbers match the blade best, only
my preferences. I like any modern medium-hard tensioned rubber. Right now I´m
using T05 Hard and Victas V>15 Extra (BH). Didn´t like H3 Neo on it, boosted
or not, it´s too much physically
demading. ZJK ZLC is
for the player who wants easy power, or a weaker player who can´t deliver power
enough when looping. Due to this extra speed I like H3 Neo with this blade, I´m
testing it on the BH with Rhyzer Pro 50 on the other side. This combo is truly
a cannon. Timo ZLF is
for the player with solid technique, definitely not for beginners. It´s not
easy to produce high speed with it, player needs to take the ball with proper
stroke and full swing. I like same rubbers I would use with Viscaria:
medium-hard tension rubbers. 4 – ZJK has
the worst value. Of course carrying the name of a superstar is an issue for
consumers. The upgraded version Super ZLC is outrageous, I can´t figure how
good that blade had to be to cost so much. Viscaria
had the best value some years ago. But being used by many chinese superstars
raised its price like a rocket. Timo Boll Spirit is a more reasonable choice. And Timo
ZLF is also expensive, I wouldn´t pay the price asked for this blade, I believe
there are better options in the BTY range. |

Erik Lindmae is owner of the shop and he plays with this blade that is why he has exclusivity. ------------- Joola Wyzaryz Freeze Vega pro 2.0mm Vega intro 2.0mm Blade collection : https://photos.app.goo.gl/PrgCu5ib5RnhVXTn9" rel="nofollow - https://photos.app.goo.gl/PrgCu5ib5RnhVXTn9 |
