Butterfly Maze Performance

En general, es una hoja muy buena. Pasé de una hoja de control lenta a esta Maze para aumentar mi nivel y velocidad, lo cual logré. Me parece que es una hoja para subir de nivel de amateur a un nivel medio, aunque también depende mucho de las gomas que se utilicen.

Al principio, usé una Dignics 09 °C, pero no me convenció el golpe ni el juego lejos de la mesa. Luego, cambié a una Dignics 05 en el forehand y una Tenergy 05 Hard en el back, encontrando así un mejor equilibrio para el juego dentro y fuera de la mesa.

Me gusta la sensación de la madera en la mano y el golpe depende mucho de tu fuerza.

Tato čepel je velice lehká. Ovládání je proti jiným čepelím jednodušší, ale trvá dlouho, než si zvykneš na ten pocit. Tuto čepel mám jako rezervní. Mám na ní Tenergy 19, na forhendu hraje podstatně lépe (překvapivě), na bekhendu dobře hraje T 64. Zatím s ní hraji pouze v tréninku. Hraje se s ní celkem dobře, ale stále jsem si nezvykl na “prázdnotu” v dlani. Velice doporučuji pro děti a začátečníky. Těm by měla vyhovovat, aby se lépe a lehčeji naučili základní údery a udržitelnost míčku na hracím stole. Pro zatížení čepele se doporučují silnější potahy.

This blade is a great all-around blade. It has a good balance of speed, control, and spin. The blade is also very well-made and durable. I have been using this blade for several months now and I have not had any problems with it. I would highly recommend this blade to anyone looking for a good all-around blade.

The blade is made from a high-quality wood and the craftsmanship is excellent. The blade is also very well-balanced and feels very comfortable in the hand. The blade is very responsive and provides good control over the ball. The blade also generates good spin, which is essential for playing at a high level.

The blade is also very durable. I have been using this blade for several months now and it has not shown any signs of wear or tear. The blade is also very easy to clean and maintain.

Overall, I am very happy with this blade. It is a great all-around blade that is well-made, durable, and provides good control and spin.

81g. Good quality, Japan-made blade. Soft wood surface. Soft feel on slow hits. Nice click sound when smashing. Good wood feeling. Best for close-to-table attacks.

It is nice and light. It is really good close to the table but lacks a bit of pace away from the table.

Excelente feel blade. Great control and nice speed. Probably you will need fast rubbers to less effort in Long distance. Out of that, short and medium distance game is excellent. I use it with RAKZA 7 FH and RAKZA 9 BH… Nice combination.

Quite fast and difficult to control. It may seem like it has control once you start using it because of the soft feel, but it does not. A want-to-be Stiga Clipper Wood without the control or feel. If someone wants a thicker all-wood blade with control, then look towards the CW. If they want one with more power and control, then look towards the Primorac Carbon.

I quite agree with BlackDog’s review of this blade. It is a superb medium±fast blade with excellent control. It possesses a soft feel, offering good feedback like most BTY blades, despite not being hinoki-soft. The medium stiffness and perfect ST handle suit my average-sized hands well. The wood on the handle tends to get a bit sticky over time, but it can be cleaned easily.

The overall finish of the blade reflects its Japanese origin. It provides good touch in the short game and looping, but excels in blocking, driving, and hitting. As an all-round player with an occasional chop, I find that this blade offers superb control in all strokes.

As BlackDog mentioned, the balance of this blade is incredible! Compared to previous blades like Grubba ALL+, Andro TT ALL+, and BTY Kiso Hinoki, this one feels lighter in the head.

I currently play with Hexer 1.9 and T05FX 1.7, which work well with this blade. However, I might consider a medium rubber for the backhand next time. Medium to hard rubbers are recommended for this blade.

This blade is very flexible and it’s my very first blade. I love it. I heard it was light, but I had no idea it was this light. It’s also very soft, which makes it great for all-round offensive players. I use it with Donic Acuda S2 on FH and Baracuda on BH, and it plays effortlessly.

Try it! You won’t regret it.

I got to play with a friend’s Maze for a period, and I thought I would review it. My friend had Tenergy 64 on both sides.

Overall, I give this blade a 9/10. It is a great blade, especially for the price.

SOFTNESS--I am not the kind of player that notices hardness/softness of blades often, but I could really feel it on this one. This blade has a velvety feeling to it. It is quite soft.

HANDLE--I played with the ST version, I have not tried the FL. The ST handle on this one is AWESOME, it ties with the Timo Boll ALC as the best ST handle for me. I have big hands; I change my grip a bit between FH and BH (exactly like Timo Boll); and I like to have a thick handle I can maneuver. The Maze addresses all these issues. It has a thick, square handle with rounded edges.

SPEED--This blade is medium-fast, but it’s more fast than medium, if you know what I mean, particularly wearing Tenergy 64. This baby has some power. I was pleasantly surprised to see how well I could power loop from mid- and even long-distance with the Maze. The speed reminds me very much of the TB ALC.

CONTROL--This blade is all wood, so it doesn’t have the added girth of the sweet spot of, say, an ALC blade. But even without that, it has a big sweet spot. It controls really well, I would say better than my Waldner. I noticed it particularly in the short game and service return. My topspin strokes were vicious with the Maze. I could hit a silver dollar.

WEIGHT--Don’t know why, but this blade feels light. I believe it must be the balance, because it weighs 82 grams, and that’s not unusually light. Balance is another one of those characteristics that I don’t often pay a lot of attention to, but I noticed it in this blade. Even with two sheets of Tenergy 64 max on both sides, it felt like it floated in my hand.

All in all, this is a special blade. I have something I love, and I don’t feel like changing; but if I didn’t I would consider this for my blade. And I will be suggesting it to students, intermediate in particular. This blade has the potential to take someone in the lower intermediate range and stay with them well into expert land. It is the kind of blade you hope students will get when they want something faster than their ALL+ beginner blade.

Very nice blade with excellent control. I play it with T64 max & Stiga Boost TC 1.9, which works great. Rubbers with a harder sponge would probably work nicely also. If you are looking for a mid-fast, softer blade with great feel, try this one.

First, I used Butterfly Tackiness Chop and Sriver FX on these blades. I didn’t get the feel playing table tennis. Then I bought Palio Medium Pips and Reactor Corbor. My smashing was 70% in, and I could control the games. Overall, this blade is good for amateurs. It is medium-fast and easy to control. It is also lightweight.
