Review of Butterfly Viscaria

A very good blade! I always try some other blades but always come back to Viscaria.
The only downside is the small and sharp handle. First I tried to sand it but it didn't help. So I put couple layers of overgrip on it and it became normal for me. BTW Dhs Gold Arc 8 plays excellent on Viscaria max on forehand and med thickness on backhand.

Review of Butterfly Garaydia ALC

Love this blade from the first touch, the grip and weight is just right for my big palm. I started playing tournament with it after the first try and managed to beat couple strong players. It helps to perform stable blocks and start looping from underpin balls. Also I like the weight mine is 82gr. Paired it with Battle2 provincial FH and GoldArc 8 on BH. The speed and control is just right. The throw angle is much lower then SZLC blades which helps on blocks and short play but same time you won't have problems doing tospins. I don't know how it works but I like it. :)

Review of Butterfly Timo Boll ALC

A very good solid blade, mine weights only 82gr. Very easy to control and it has power when you need it. It's very controllable near the table (good blocks, chops, flicks) and has enough power to play from second and the third zone. The best blade for me so far.

Review of Butterfly Gergely Carbon

Got one old Gergely Blade in good condition with no Butterfly tag on the handle and no serial number. It's very small size blade 150x146. Weights 91g. Thinner then Primorac Carbon. Plays well with soft to medium rubbers. Plays nice on the backhand. It's easy to spin the ball and hit hard. From the FH I put a harder rubber and it was easy to play short game but was more difficult to attack and spin underspin balls. I think with the softer rubber it would be better.
A nice blade, slower then Primorac Carbon but more control and more catapult effect. Very hard to control this blade.

Review of Butterfly Primorac Carbon TAMCA 5000

My first professional blade which I had for more then 8 years. A good blade for aggressive game. Was not so easy to control the ball before 40+ balls. But now it's much easier to play with it. Good block and flat hit with it. NOw it's easier to spin the ball. With new balls it has more control. I play it with it from time to time. My usual blade is TB Alc.

Review of Cornilleau Simon Gauzy Quest Off

I like this blade. Very good control and enough speed. It's slower then Viscaria or even Stiga OC. But u get a nice feeling with this blade, the harder you hit more control u have. The handle fits my hand perfectly. I use Rakza 7 2.0 on FH and Donic acuda S3 max on BH.

Review of Cornilleau Gauzy Quest OFF

A very good blade! Consistent and quite fast with good control. Plays well with chinese rubbers and also with all kind of tensors. Better with midhard and hard ones.
The handle is perfect lies very good in my big palm.

Review of DHS Hurricane Long 3

A very consistent blade. It's fast on the power strokes, but it's also controllable in short game. Plays well with chinese rubbers like Friendship Battle 2 Provincial (Blue Sponge) which I use on both sides, plays well with Dignics 09c on FH. It's heavy with these rubbers and handle tape around 198gr. The blade itself weights 89g. I tried many other blades but always come back to Long 3. Recommend.

Donic (3)

Donic J.O. Waldner Gold Edition

Hardness	5.2

Overall	9.5

Review of Donic J.O. Waldner Gold Edition

It's strange that nobody tested the blade yet. But according to reviews from pro players it's a mix of Viscaria and Stiga CyberShape blades. Allows you to make powerfull topspins from any distance, perfect lobbing, strong counter looping.
I ordered one and am waiting for it to arrive. After that I will add my review from my point of view. Requires alittle sanding on the picture otherwise the rubber dosn't hold.

Review of Donic Persson World Champion 89

A good blade for those seeking for something simmilar to Primorac Carbon but with less speed and more contor and more possibility for power topspins. It plays well with the rubbers up to 55 degrees hardness like Bluegrip C2. I play with Bluegrip C2 on my FH and Nittaku PK50 on my BH.

Donier (2)

Donier BALSA CARBON OFF +

Speed	9.4
Control	9.0
Stiffness	7.0

Hardness	8.2
Consistency	10.0
Overall	9.0

Review of Donier BALSA CARBON OFF +

This is the fastest blade from Donier's blades. It plays well with Soft and medium rubbers. It has good control on slow speeds it Blocks perfectly, you can counter hit the incoming topspin. It is light and you can reach more balls using this. You can flick easily with it.
I chose Yinhe Venus 3 Soft for my FH and Xiom Vega Europe Max for BH. And I like it. I can spin, hit, push, flick.

Recommend to try!

Donier Offensive+

Speed	9.4
Control	9.3
Stiffness	7.0

Hardness	6.7
Consistency	10.0
Overall	9.5

Review of Donier Offensive+

A very nice offensive blade. Heavy, my one weights 94gr. Works well with hard european and chinese rubbers.
There is almost no vibration in the handle during play but the control is good.
It's ? nice pleasure to do the spinny loops from the second zone. The blade plays well in all zones but you need to take in the consideration the weight of the blade 90-95gr. A very good blade for the price.

Review of Xiom Hayabusa ZXi

Interesting blade. At first seems to be very fast and uncontrollable after JJ SZLC. But after couple training hours seems quite fast and controllable. It supports your aggressive style and asks you to attack. The attacks are fast even from uncomfortable balls. If you play an allround game then I don't recommend this blade it has too short dwell time for this. Plays well with chinese and hybrid rubbers. I play with BigDipper 4 on FH and Fastarc G-1 (Tenergy 05 and Bluefier M2) on BH.
