what does "off+" mean in a blade?

EXTREEMLY FAST and not for beginners

every company has different ways of categoring blades and how fast or slow they r.

the japanese brand BUTTERFLY has this system

DEF ALL+ ALL- ALL OFF- OFF OFF+

where as other brands uses numbers for speed control etc, however, control is based on ur skill level, what rubbers u use, and in time i guess the control factor will be better once u get used to a raquet.

generally blades with carbon tend to be stiff, therefore catapulting the ball witha  good rebound effect, quick and powerful, but bad on the short game [these r generalisations, and companies r coming up with all this hybrid sh*t to compensate for this material etc].

from slow to fast

how you doing?
