Customer review for Butterfly Petr Korbel

Review by paisamaster (Verified Customer) for Butterfly Petr Korbel on February 26, 2019

I 1st used this blade when it came out in 1996, amazing blade! I stopped using after the plastic ball came out, and have been looking for a good replacement carbon blade for over 10 years, timo boll alc, innerforce layer alc, viscaria, Jang jike zlc, tiago apolonia zlc, and a few more, after more than 10 years of testing carbon blades, I have came back to this blade, all it needed was harder faster rubbers, amazing, I have a 2000 rating, if only I had stuck with this blade my level would have increased way higher and faster, I noticed complaints about it's "small handle" which is amusing because that's a style characteristic! I'm 6' tall and wear large gloves, I love this handle because it allows a loose grip, a loose grip which is essential for that relaxed moment before you tighten the grip and explode through the ball, it allows that "whip affect" as apposed to a snug grip that doesnt allow that looser grip, snug puts more stress on the wrist!!! You can not go wrong with this blade if you like looping and good placement, it was used by the man who made the chiquita popular, the "chiquita", it is used by all the top players today!!
