Butterfly Photino Light

This blade is exceptionally powerful despite its light weight, making it a formidable choice. When paired with Tibhar Evolution MX-S Max on both sides, it offers a superb balance of touch, speed, and spin. Blocking and precise ball placement become effortless with this combination.

The blade itself weighs a mere 74 grams, and the addition of MX-S Max on both sides brings the total weight to 180 grams. This weight distribution provides excellent maneuverability and control. The power of the blade is evident when needed, offering a decisive advantage during rallies.

The flared handle fits snugly in the hand, ensuring comfort and stability. Its distinctive color scheme sets the blade apart, giving it a unique and eye-catching aesthetic. This blade seamlessly complements my collection, and I am fortunate to have acquired one before their availability dwindles.

The Photino Light is related to the regular Photino but is considerably lighter. It shares a similar soft touch with my Donic Waldner WC89 OFF blade, a personal favorite that I highly regard as my all-time preferred blade.

Excellent control (feather light) — no matter the distance or speed. Speed canon even with medium-soft rubbers, providing an effortless spin and pace. The head-heavy composition, when paired with Tenergy rubbers, creates an optimal balance. My experience with the Genius Sound (forehand) and Sinus Sound (backhand) rubbers proved seamless. Serving, looping, blocking, and smashing were executed with ease, making this blade a versatile and exceptional choice.

It’s an off+ blade, faster than a Boll ZLC or MJ ZLC. The feeling is soft, even more so than the original Photino. Its ultra light weight will please many players.

The sweet spot is large, just like the original Photino, which is quite surprising since my Photino Light is only 71 grams.

Tested with T64frex 1.7 on both backhand and forehand, the throw angle is high, dwell time is amazing, and the feeling and control are unmatched for this level of speed.

Just like the original Photino, this blade is a beauty. It’s the best ultra light weight off+ blade ever made.

I’ve had the blade since April of this year. I’ve waited long enough to share my opinion on the “Photino Light.” This blade is indeed very fast and difficult to control. However, when using soft rubbers, the “Photino Light” becomes more manageable. Up until now, I’ve played with six blades, but I believe I’ve finally found the right one that I can use for many years to come. Please let me know if you have any questions.

The handle is too wide for me, and the bright colors will start to look dirty very soon.

This blade review is poorly written. Here is a cleaned-up version:

Light, fast, poor control

This blade is very light and fast, but it has poor control. As a result, it is not suitable for beginners or players who prefer a more controlled game.

As the name suggests, the paddle is lightweight. Initially, the weight is noticeable, but with use, it becomes normal. The same applies to the vibrations of a lighter paddle; eventually, they provide useful feedback for controlling and blocking shots.

The flared handle is shorter in the palm than the straight handle. I ordered the straight handle from TT-Japan.net, which offers excellent handles at the best price I could find.

The blade provides great ball dwell time and a wide range of speeds, allowing for both precise drop shots and powerful smashes.

FH: T05 & BH: T64. Very fast response and very nice control. A very nice off+ blade ^_^.

I received this blade a few days ago. I’m using Razka 7 soft on the forehand and Nittaku Fastart S1 on the backhand.

Looping is effortless with this blade, and it generates a lot of spin. The speed is very fast, and I have excellent touch due to the vibrations. Drop shots are also very consistent.

It feels similar to the old version of the Photino blade, but it’s much lighter and has better control. My blade weighs 74 grams.

Overall, I find that the control, looping, counter-looping, pushing, and chopping are all very consistent and controllable.
