Review of Butterfly Gergely

I played Gergely side-by-side with Schlager Carbon for a week and preferred Gergely . . . a little more feel and not that much slower. Yet, I will boldly state that I preferred the Gergely-21 because of even great control, lighter weight, and more comfy handle . . . the compact head isn't for everyone.

Review of Butterfly Schlager Carbon

Fast, but heavy. Quality is topnotch. The handle is lovely and you'll hit bullets, and if you put the right rubber on this beast you might even hit them on the table. Overall, it's a nice blade to have in the collection.

Butterfly Joo Se Hyuk

Speed	4.0
Control	9.0
Stiffness $<b>Stiffness</b> refers to the blade\'s flexibility. Flexible blades have a longer dwell time, generating more spin. They also perform well for mid-distance looping. Stiff blades are better for smashing.$	5.0

Review of Butterfly Joo Se Hyuk

I know this is a defensive chopping blade, but I couldn't get over the fact that it felt dead. I should mention I'm a blocker, not a chopper. The weight wasn't too bad compared to the MPS and it's nice and thin, but . . . it's not for everyone!

Control	8.0

Review of Butterfly VSG-2000

The blade felt nice in my hand and hit well; however, I couldn't get over the cartoon look and the silly rubberband that goes through the handle for some "shock absorbing," much like the Nittaku Shellshock, which is also a comedic blade with no resale value.

Review of Dawei Wavestone WRB

For the price, the Wavestone is hard to beat. It's a high quality woodie w/carbon with nice speed and good control. It's a bit on the stiff side, but has some feel. I overseal it and enjoy the extra stiffness, which suits me and many other players.

Review of Dawei Kama

You can't beat this blade for value. It's cheap, and if you do a little fine sanding and sealing it won't feel or play cheap. It sure beats most pre-mades and anything you'll find at Sports Mart or Big 5.
