Sounds like a very nice blade, it looks great too, the only thing I don't like about is the price.

I found on butterflyonline.com that it weigh only 82gr! Your Korbel Speed may be overweight?LOL

The blade looks really great! A pity it's slightly heavy.

I will make it short.  It's faster, harder, and heavier than the Petr Korbel.  Is it better?  Well, it depends on how you looking at it.  Here are my thought:

1.  Faster -  I like this characteristic of the blade since we don't use speed glue anymore.  The throw is lower than the Petr Korbel.  So, this one is better for mid-distance game than the Petr Korbel.

2.  Harder - Because of its hardness, you should to use soft rubbers with this blade.  It's really good with my pips (Flarestorm).  It's has more power than Flarestorm on T5000.

3.  Heavier - This is the bad side of this blade.  It weighs 93.3 grams.  The head is heavy.  So, for forehand power-loop is good.  It is also good for counter looping at mid-distance.  However, the backhand flat hit with the wrist is not an ideal blade.  I don't think I will play with this blade because of this reasons.

Sorry, I am too lazy right now to write a long, detailed, well-organized review.  I am just too tired from the practice tonight.
