A very fast blade. To get used to controlling it, you have to play with it always. If you don’t, your balls will always go long. Not recommended for beginners.

A fast and dependable blade. It more than compensated for my late strokes. I had to seal the surface with a very thin layer of lacquer as the wood seemed vulnerable to splintering.

My dad got this for me on my 10th birthday. We paired this with two light and soft Yasaka rubbers (the XS and the 30 deg.) and it loop drives really well.

Nice blade, good control and speed. I’m not sure about durability yet, but I’m sure this blade will last.

The blade delivers good performance, being both very fast and easy to control. I’ve been using it since switching from my BTY Gergely and old BTY Schlager Carbon. In my opinion, it’s faster than the Gergely with better control. The only downside is the quality, as it splinters easily. However, if you take good care of it, it should last you a while.

This blade is very similar to the feel of Butterfly Sardius but at a fraction of the cost. It’s not an exact clone of Sardius, but I would say that they share 99.9 percent of their DNA) A little bit higher than humans vs. chimps. They weigh almost the same, they look identical in many ways, and they even sound the same. Although, of course, the craftsmanship of the Sardius is more refined. This is a very powerful blade that is hard to tame at first. But as they say, every horse can be broken. Patience, persistence, and time should work in perfect synergy to unleash its potential.
