This is the first time I got a chance to put my hands on this well-known equipment, made famous by the legendary chopper Joo Se Hyuk. For all this time, I've been hearing that this is a hard combo to deal with.
They keep telling you that this could be the most pro equipment one can get (as far as chopping goes ), but at the same time, it is equally hard for yourself as the chopper due to the lack of control stemming from the hard bat. My first experience with this combo however was not in line with this common-thought.
I've been using a blades which are a total opposite of the JSH. ( my blades are super slow, light, & soft ), Barricade & DefPlay Senso V3 to be exact., So, despite coming from a different world, I am happy to say that I had no struggles or adaptation time with such a fast, heavy and hard blade.
The JSH Blade is a 110-gram-blade ( that is twice as heavy as Barricade, which is only 55gr )
What's funny is that the chopping with the JSH was a lot easier and less tiring! The rubber and the blade does the job magically.
Because it is fast & reliable, it can even save you in the heat of a moment, like times like this: [ Ссылка ] Just catch the ball and the blade will do the rest. This is something a slow blade like Barricade would never be able to achieve.
Being this heavy, the blade also creates a major momentum while serving. Something I've never experienced before. This allows me to relax the bat and let it do its swing within my palm. The Tenergy 05 on the forehand is a joy to play with ( which I'd like to cover another day ).
Overall, I give this equipment 10 out of 10 for both BH and FH.
The problem is how we are going to get a hold of this blade as Butterfly no longer manufactures it and it is out of stock wherever I checked. Looks like Joo is working with Nexy to develop something similar. If anybody knows where I can get a hold of this bad boy, pls let me know.
