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. |

Hmm, the surface is Koto not Limba, so it's not a thicker version of korbel

I found on butterflyonline.com that it weigh only 82gr! Your Korbel Speed may be overweight? http://www.butterflyonline.com/online_store_productcloseup.asp?page=shakehand_blade1.asp&type=1&ID=134&pg=1&SortBy=b.image3&displayNum=5 I think it is light with weight 82gr! |

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

They have been driving the customers away and still do. There is only one guy from my club used to order from butterflyonline but he also finally stops. I don't know if anyone still orders from them. |

overweight baby Korbel Speed LOL.
i`ve this blade since february.
you can see mine on pictures of your blades threads.
i`m using inspirit on forehand and IQUL on backhand side.
but i`m decided to try IQUL both sides.
so maybe this weight is just good for me.
