Just passing from the TB7 to this Diode V. Using FL3 and tackifire on FH. Im really impressed , I was using FL3 before on the TB7.

This blade is heavier but I feel the 5 ply makes it more flexible. I had amazing result with BH drive on LP side. Couldnt attack like that before. It also has a really satisfying wood resonance when hitting top spin drives. I think using FL2 is also better with my style. Overall I think it was a great upgrade for me compared my previous setup. I think its a bit heavier than TB7 which had a really light and great handling. Too early to speak much but I think the blade and rubber combination will be an enhancement to my game.

quite excellent control, but also with the perfect amount of speed to counter-attack. If you are a modern defender this is a great blade for you and paired with grass d.tecs it will created a fast high reversal ball when chopping which make it difficult for your opponents

very good balanced blade. not fast, not slow. Using Tenergy on forehand will make your chops flawless and give a lot opportunities to attack without compromising. I love it. I play with Ilius S 1.1 mm on backhand and it works also well.

Been using this paddle for about 6 months now, I was using the Koji Matsushita (Regular) and It was a great paddle but I needed more power in my game and I just said why not.

I know it's not the original JSH but it's just the tune down version, I have it paired with Victas double extra(Full) & curlPa3 0.6 you can build it however you want but it was a big jump in my offense and chopping/defence.

I highly recommend it to anyone in a faster defense style paddle outside of spending $200+ for a JSH original.

Not as stiff and hard as a JSH, but still way more than a VKM, slightly stiffer and faster than a VKMO but quite similar, the Diode has a very comfortable handle in ST, a bit square and thick. Very good for chopping and attacking far from the table. Im not a fan of the feeling compared to the VKM but the consistency and quality of shots is great. Overall a great blade

Used this blade with Andro Rasanter V47 and TSP Curl 0.5 mm. The blade was a little to stiff for me so I wasn't able to get a good feel however, chops are very good almost always low and deep to the table. With just a slight change in the wrist you can aim to the forehand or backhand. I would use this racket probably when I could chop those fast spinny kills on the backhand side consistently. As of now this seems more like an intermediate blade.

Tons of controll, very god speed while attacking. This blade is not so stiff as described. For example Clipper CR is much more harder and stiffer blade than Diode V. This blade is shining in defense and sudden deadly attacks. I am using P1-R 1,1 mm and it fits perfect. Worth every price.
Update:
Love this blade. Nice controll, beautifull counter hits, vey stable while chopping. All setup with Tibhar ELS max and P1R 1,3 weight 201 g which believe me gives more power to countering away from teable and its helpfull :) ps I am using with flare handle.
Two weeks ago i got after searching JSH blade and i had chance to compare them. DV has more control, less stiff, little faster. It is easier to attack with topspin Maybe it was because a put in fh Tibhar MXP . Generally i would stay with DV.

I think this blade is even better than the JSH-blade for modern defensive game. I have paired it with TSP Curl P1r OX and T05 1,9mm. My immediate feeling is that this blade has better control and identical speed as the JSH. For sure this will be my first-choice. Good job from Butterfly here!!
