I’ve been using this blade for 2 months. I’ve tried it with different rubbers. So far, the best combination for me was Yasaka Rakza 7 (Forehand) and Donic Acuda P3 (Backhand). This blade is a bit slow for me, but I like it.

Madera buena, ligera, con control y cara, como todas las Butterfly. Buen toque característico de las láminas de Hinoki, apreciadas por mí desde hace muchos años, aunque este modelo, en concreto, lo encuentro un poco lento. Le falta un poco de agresividad o (Punch) velocidad, probado con gomas chinas Hurricane 3 Provincial de derecho de 2,2mm y la Hurricane 3 de 2,2mm de revés.

Comparando con la YONYER Hinoki Especial, esta Butterfly se encuentra en desventaja, siendo la última más potente y más rápida. Incluso comparándola con mis Galaxy N 9 mejoradas, la Butterfly Shake 5 es más lenta.

Esta madera habría que asociarla a gomas rápidas. A tenor de lo probado, irían mejor, creo, porque no las he probado todavía.
