Equipment Propaganda.

Zoran Primorac is supposedly playing with Sriver el on both sides with his Primorac carbon blade. Looks like a Timo Boll Spirit with Byrce on the forehand. Does any body else have any more pictures like these? I hate how they lie to sell the equipment.

I find it silly that people are buying equipment based on what pros are using... You should get setup which suits you, personally....

i guess that people are interested in what pros use because then, they are sure that those equipment (especially rubbers) are usable and not crappy.

I don't care what they use but on BTY Japan website they say Zoki uses TBS.

Tomo Boll has "generously" given his name to more than 5 or 6 blades being peddled by Butterfly. Surely you don't insist that he plays with all of them?

With some of them I doubt that he held them in his hands for longer than 10 seconds...

Zokie has been playing with TBS for 2 years or more, and most likely he changed rubber sheets at the same time. That Butterfly has not changed their their listings is not something Primorac has any control over.

I am glad other people feel strongly and even stronger than i do about this. I since day one have been a huge butterfly enthusiast and now i want nothing to do with them. I seriously want to just buy abunch of stiga stuff to basicaly boycott them. The equipment is over priced, the customer service provided is the worst ever, and they don't care about what you ask them. I bought my new set up thats in my signature for the glue ban and i figured hey they could assemble this to get it exact and the rubbers came uneven and in the little box where you can ask for special things i asked for no side tape( not that its a big deal but they totally ignored that)also if you supply a pro with this blade and rubber so be it but don't list them as using that. I just cant stand that they lie to the unknowing 12 year old. If the player dos not like thier own blade then dont list them as using their sponserd one just list them correctly or say custom.

Isn't T64 an offensive rubber? How does that make any sense?

LOL

The rubber sticks out so much when it's speed glued hehhe.

This was when they could glue and the rubbers would expand larger than the head they cut it to. Those rubbers were cut for that blade. I agree he has obviously been using that tbs a long time which furthers my point that butterfly is a bunch of unrighteous jerks. Butterfly should change the list or not put it up at all.

They did change it in the 2008/09 catalog but he could have been using it for whole 2007 for all we know or just after the glue ban.

Even butterfly Japan doesnt lie about this. They said pre glue ban he used TBS with sriver on both sides, but he must have switched to bryce.
