Review of Butterfly Michael MazeI bought this blade over a year ago and I've been very pleased with it. Nice work Butterfly! Great mix of speed and control. An allround/offensive blade. Expensive

Review of Butterfly Jonyer HinokiA long time ago, In a Galaxy far away I played with this blade, flared handle and Butterfly Super Sriver rubbers.
That was in the good old days when we all played with hard Nittaku 38mm balls that never broke. Sigh... Ok, back to the real world. I had the pleasure of trying this blade combined with Srivel EL rubbers. I can say it almost felt like yesteryear. I liked this combination a lot, but I think it's to slow for my game today.
It's really a nice piece of wood.
I couldn't resist to try it out again with a Stiga 38mm, 25 year old unused 3-star ball. Wow, what a difference in speed!
Today I recommend this blade for the tabletennis players out there who needs an allround, quite fast blade made of wood.

Review of Butterfly Timo Boll OFF-I've tested 2 blades with the same rubber setup and they behave very different from each other. A fair blade but there are a lot of better alternatives. Quite slow, I thought it would be faster.

Review of Donic Waldner LagondaIf you want an all wood blade that's fast and with a great feel to it, this could be the one for you. All+/off- It's cheap, but don't let that fool you! It's easy to produce whatever stroke you want at any speed you want with this blade. What more could you ask for? I especially like it for over the table and close to medium play with Butterfly Tenergy 25 2.1mm rubbers. This combination will generate: high speed, great spin and you will get excellent blocking capabillties. It's perfect to smash with. I was very surpriced and thrilled the first time I used it. Now a couple of months later I just enjoy it.

Review of Donic Persson Power CarbonI'm surpised over the fantastic speed and control this blade delivers. If you play an offensive game and want to combine this blade with a fast rubber, do it! It will kick _ss!!!
Personally I would like it to be a little bit bigger in size. Like the Michael Maze blade. There's more feeling in your shots with this hollow (Senso)handle than what you will get with a normal one.

Review of Donic Waldner Senso CarbonThis is the blade, the Mozart of table tennis Jan-Ove Waldner himself uses. Yesterday he won his 9th Swedish championship in Halmstad with it. He won his first 27 years ago! He played incredible well, fast footwork. - He made his 16 years younger Per Gerell look old. It was a tactical perfect game by the master himself.
Oh, the review...This is a fast offensive blade with maximum control. A little bit slower than M.Maze off but it has greater control. It behaves a lot like it in my opinion. It is a little bit front heavy, compared to the M.Maze blade, but with a fast rubber it will come alive. If you want a carbon do-it-all blade this should be among your alternatives.

Review of Donic Appelgren AllplayIf you want an allround blade that can do it all, look no further, this is the one. Combined with Butterfly 64 it will be fast and the spin is just incredible! Easy to block and push with. What you put into it will come out, so it's up to your own technique. Highly recommended!

Review of Donic Waldner Ultra Senso CarbonThis is a fast offensive blade with maximum control. A little bit slower than M.Maze off but it has greater control. It behaves a lot like it in my opinion. It is a little bit front heavy and has a tendency to feel dead in your hand compared to the M.Maze blade, but with a fast rubber it will come alive. If you want a carbon do-it-all blade this should be among your alternatives. It is your pick.

Review of Stiga Carbo OversizeI really like this one. It's faster than you think but with great control. Reminds me of Donic Waldner Senso, but this one is bigger. Weight is no problem, but you have to get used to the balance. It has a light handle. Otherwise it's a top product. Highly recommended
