Very stiff and hard blade, suitable for aggressive attacking players playing in the near zone at high speeds.

I asked for the lightest blade with an anatomic handle. It weighs 85.9g and is 5.5mm thick. The blade has beautiful patterns and is of high quality.

The Razka 7 Soft is suitable for both sides, but I have it on the forehand and the Razka 7 on the backhand. The feel is not too hard, and there is very little vibration when hitting hard due to the T-5000 carbon absorbing most of the vibrations.

The speed is very fast, equal to the Primorac Carbon but slightly slower and not as bouncy as my JMSZLC but faster than the Zhang Jike SZLC. This blade can produce the most spin among all my blades, maybe equal to or better than the JMSZLC.

It can do all kinds of shots: touch shots over the net, slow or fast loops, flicks, and underspins. I adjusted to it within 20 minutes. The T-5000 carbon works great on a thin blade like this with a perfect blend of speed, control, and spin.

I think the biggest disadvantage of this blade is the lack of dwell and less feel from the carbon. Here is a summary of my review:

* Speed=9.6 * Control=8.5 * Spin=9.5 * Feel=8 (solid & without vibration) * Flick=easy * Flex=6.5 * Hardness=6 * Balance=good * AN grip=nice shape but small * Dwell=avg- * Smash, flat hit & Drive=excellent * Throw=med * Serve=excellent * Sweetspot=huge * Touch shot=excellent * Overall=9.3

Been using this blade for less than a year. It is an awesome, powerful blade that works well with Tibhar MXP on the forehand and Xiom Omega V.

Its a really fast blade and not for everyone. You should have good footwork. I use T05 on FH and T05FX on BH. You can loop, smash, and if you have a good feel, you can chop. It is fast but control is great. For short play, it’s bouncy, so it needs training to get used to it. Flicks are easy, throw angle is high but not too high, and topspins are fast, not crazy fast. There are faster blades, like Killerspin Diamond C, Off ++(+) from DHS. So if you feel that TBS or ALC and other Off+ blades are slow for you, you should try it. You can give nice spin on serves. If you don’t train a few years with a good trainer then don’t even think about it. It doesn’t feel too stiff and hard, it has a nice feel. It’s one of the best blades that I used. Speed is similar to Samsonov Carbon, a little bit faster, with a harder feel and more control, and little bit higher throws.

This table tennis blade is a great choice for players who want a powerful blade with good control. The blade is made of a combination of ayous and limba wood, which gives it a good balance of power and control. The blade is also very well-made, with a high-quality finish.

Overall, this is a great blade for players of all levels. It is powerful enough for aggressive players, but it also has enough control for players who prefer a more defensive style of play.

Here are some of the pros and cons of this blade:

Pros:

* Powerful * Good control * Well-made

Cons:

* Slightly heavy * Not as fast as some other blades

Overall, this is a great blade for players who want a powerful blade with good control. It is a good choice for players of all levels, and it is sure to help you improve your game.

A good look and green grips, which I like! : D But this blade is nearly a fail. It’s fast, but there’s no good control, a bad ball feeling, bad touch, and it performed strangely! There are better blades on the market for sure. I think they just produced it to finish the Boll blade series! That failed. What a pity that such a good-looking blade in green can be so poor. And it’s expensive too!

Best for offensive players, I highly recommend this blade.

#8 — January 2012

The best blade for offensive players is one that is fast, powerful, and offers a high level of control. The blade should be made of a lightweight material, such as carbon fiber or titanium, and should have a large sweet spot. The handle should be comfortable to hold and should provide a good grip.

Here are some of the best blades for offensive players:

* Butterfly Timo Boll ALC * Nittaku Acoustic Carbon * Tibhar Evolution MX-P * Xiom Vega Pro * Donic Waldner Senso V1

These blades are all well-balanced and offer a good combination of speed, power, and control. They are also durable and can withstand the rigors of competitive play.

Koto Slim helps with distance and time. Carbon at 2 plies is springy in the blade. Kiri center helps with looping. This blade has tension in the blade on 2 plies. Thank Timo Boll and Butterfly for helping to design this blade.

This is the best blade ever made since the dawn of mankind! Sorry but the game has changed. Get ready to tear your opponents apart. I am slightly exaggerating, but this is one of the highest quality blades I have seen in a long time. The cracks in your flooring will show their gratitude for using this blade. Your opponent may then ask you to stop after you dismantle them so thoroughly. Anyways, I have owned and used blades from all over the world, and this one is by far my favorite blade. Take a look at my review to learn more about this amazing product.

This blade is very well-made and feels great in my hand. The handle is made of a high-quality wood, and the blade itself is made of a very durable material. I have been using this blade for a few months now, and it has held up very well. I have not noticed any major scratches or dents in the blade, even though I have used it a lot.

The Butterfly Zhang Jike ALC blade is a great choice for offensive players. It is a fast and powerful blade that offers a good amount of control. The blade is also very well-balanced, which makes it easy to maneuver. The handle is made of a high-quality wood, and the blade itself is made of a very durable material. I have been using this blade for a few months now, and it has held up very well. I have not noticed any major scratches or dents in the blade, even though I have used it a lot.

Overall, I am very happy with the Butterfly Zhang Jike ALC blade. It is a well-made blade that offers great performance. I would highly recommend this blade to any offensive player looking for a new blade.

Butterfly’s speed rating is incorrect. This is not a 10 speed blade. It is much less controllable but not speed deficient.

Being pure wood, it has a better feel than carbon-composite blades while looping and hitting, but it is slightly springy in the short game.

Overall, this is one of Butterfly’s best blades.

I’m having this blade. I’m using Tenergy 64 as my forehand rubber and Tenergy 05 as my backhand rubber. This blade is very useful for offensive players!

This uncompromising blade is perfect for the power attacker, providing unrelenting power for point-winning loops and smashes. The Boll T5000 boasts a large sweet spot and a hard feel, generating immense power. It pairs exceptionally well with Butterfly’s high tension rubbers.

#14 — May 2010

This is a blade for an aggressive player who wants to unleash their power with strong shots and hard topspins from middistance. However, it’s not particularly controlled and is not suitable for topspins near the table.

#15 — February 2010

to hard! work well with softer rubbers though.
