The Butterfly Korbel Speed is a popular table tennis blade among intermediate to advanced players. It is a 5-ply blade made from limba, ayous, and carbon and has a thickness of 5.6mm and weighs 92 grams. It is known for its perfect balance of speed and control, making it suitable for a wide range of playing styles.
The Korbel Speed offers excellent consistency and a crisp feel on the ball, allowing for precise shot placement and spin generation. The limba outer plies provide a good amount of flex, while the carbon fiber layer adds stiffness and power to the blade. This combination results in a blade that is both responsive and forgiving, making it a great choice for players who want to improve their game.
Many players find the Korbel Speed to be an easy blade to control, even when playing fast-paced rallies. It is also praised for its good dwell time, which allows for effective ball control and spin manipulation. Additionally, the blade's relatively lightweight construction helps reduce fatigue during long matches.
The Butterfly Korbel Speed is a versatile blade suitable for various playing styles, including all-round, offensive, and defensive play. It is an excellent choice for players looking for a high-quality blade that can help them improve their game and achieve success at the table tennis table.
This is a great flat hitting blade with excellent build quality. Mine is 93 grams, and I appreciate the momentum that heavier blades provide. Its low throw and stiffness make it unsuitable for loopers. Made in Japan, it is expensive, but the top ply remains intact when changing rubbers, unlike some other blades I own. Incidentally, this is a five-ply blade, not seven as stated in another review. It has effectively been reincarnated as the Hadraw VK, suggesting that Butterfly did not consider it as poorly as some previous reviewers have stated.
I completely agree with the first comment. For an all-wood blade, it is far too expensive. It offers nothing special and is not recommended.
Review text:
The blade has a good feeling in the hand. It is soft and has a little bit of flex. It is also very well balanced.
