Kayu yang Bagus

Kayu ini sangat bagus. Dengan harga yang menengah, kualitas yang ditawarkan sangat pas untuk saya.

Karakter Bola Kembalian

Beberapa lawan berkomentar, bola kembalian saya selalu “goyang” baik FH (forehand) maupun BH (backhand). Padahal, karet Blue Fire M1 (FH) dan Dr. Neubauer Diamant (BH) saya tidak pernah dikomentari seperti itu saat saya memasang di blade lain.

Kelebihan Blade

Blade ini cocok untuk menyerang dengan mengandalkan putaran (spin), maupun bertahan dari lawan yang agresif.

Kesimpulan

Blade Butterfly yang sangat bagus dengan harga yang cukup murah.

I use the Powerdrive II with Tenergy 64 on both sides with a 2.1mm sponge. This blade excels in control during over-the-table play. Flips, pushes, blocks, fast-blocks, and top-spins near the net are executed with precision, delivering a moderate feel.

As you move further back from the table and increase the intensity of your play, the blade’s capabilities become even more apparent. Loops, counter loops, and returns from mid-range distances possess significant weight and power when executed with proper technique.

The PowerDrive II fulfills all my blade requirements. I own three of these and also possess two each of the following blades: tb alc, T-5000, senkoh max, S. Carbon, and Sardius. Among these, the PowerDrive II remains my top choice.
