Butterfly Hadraw SR

I tried to pair the blade with a few rubbers: T05, Rakza 7 soft, Xiom Vega series, and Andro Hexer. The feeling and control were not fine, in my opinion. I would rate them 6 out of 10.

Review

THIS IS A TOP CLASS BLADE! My new favorite. It’s like the well-used and “aged” Hans Asler or Clipper, like a good wine. My Clipper and Zhang Jike are wonderful, but for a player and trainer of 17 years, this seems to be the best I have come across in a long time, as you will see by my reviews.

The Tenergy rubber sheets are top-notch, but Mendo and Mark V still do the trick for me. People often go for the fastest Carbon one without realizing that the extra speed is immaterial if they cannot return serve or play basic shots possible. It’s like trying to do Calculus and Applied Math if you cannot do basic Arithmetic.

A friend and colleague of mine played in the German 2nd league for many years and never used a blade other than a Stiga Allround and a Donic Allplay.

I digress - this is a wonderful blade that you will like and use if you want one that is fast but has a great feel and, compared to many blades on the market, has control - ten out of ten.
