TESTING ZORAN PRIMORAC'S TABLE TENNIS BAT!
Спорт
Hey guys, so a while back I traveled to Chartres table tennis club in France to meet up with Zoran Primorac to test his legendary blade the Primorac Carbon by Butterfly.
Zoran is a European table tennis legend who has a highest world ranking of 2 and notably played in a record 7 Olympic Games!
Zoran uses his personal blade the Zoran Primorac Carbon paired with Tenergy 05 Rubbers. Watch our review on the new rubber by Butterfly the Dignics 09C here: • DIGNICS 09C | 5 Things...

If he was good enough to be top 50 he would still be playing because he could be making several hundreds of thousands a year playing TT. Top 50 would mean he would be better than many pros who have recently or play in the champions league, people like paul drinkhall (ranked 70) tiago apolonia (ranked 55) Dude is a legend and one of the best non-chinese players ever but time doesn't wait for anyone and no way he's anything better than top 300 in the world.

Honest review, great playing, nice bantering, cool! I'm sold on the blade, the pro and the channel!
I've used this blade and found it too direct and unspinny. You can block well with it, but your loops lack spin and are also blocked back with ease. The overall energy of the ball is less than with Nittaku Tenor or Viscaria, which hold the ball a bit more and let you impart both speed and spin. This one is about sheer speed, not "punch". It's also difficult to execute a low spinny loop with emphasis on low rebound. You often get it smashed or relooped back, which rarely occurs with Nittaku Tenor and Hexer or XPlode rubbers. With Primorac Carbon, glued Bryce or Sriver EL and celluloid ball you had both speed and spin, but that era has passed away. Nowadays more dwelly and powerful blades are needed.
Thanks for the video. That's the choice between Speed and Spin. The blade is a rocket and I think on someone like a Harimoto would be even more devastating. You can use your opponent's speed and add on with it. However, this blade is designed for close to mid distance (that would be a stretch) play and not for the loop-to-loop, or even all around play which is needed in the modern game. Once again, it depends on your style because everyone is different.
Wow! Zoran's backhand is so amazing!
Yes, this is the legend carbon blade (with Sardius too). Here is my taste: I think that in table tennis, we can win with another thing too: not only speed, but consistency, variation, and tactical is much more important nowadays. (It's just my opinion, peace).

You should also ask yourself, do you really want a blade that fast? If you smash at like 100 mph, and the other player blocks it back, then you're going go get a 100 mph ball coming back at you aswell. Also, if your short game is bad, then the opponent is just going to third ball attack you all the time. Flat hits are good if you're playing against n00bs, but if you're playing against better players you'll need to loop the ball more, which this racket isn't so good at.

Amazing team 🙌🏼 Keep up the good work 👍🏼
Dan, imagine this beast with 38mm and fresh glued maximum rubbers. THIS was true speed and spin! :) Anyway, Werner Schlager used a slightly modified version of the Primo Carbon when winning in Paris. The result was then published as the Schlager Carbon. It's a little bit faster, stiffer and some grams plus. It was great to play with BTY Bryce, glued.

Exactly, the Schlager was thicker and faster!
The good thing with the Primo Carbon is, it‘s not so important which rubbers you play, how old they are and how is the shape of the rubbers. You don‘t have to boost the rubbers, because the blade is so dominating and fast with Good feeling. One of the Best blades in the World for sure.
Zoran is a living legend, great video..
This blade is phantastic for smashing through each spinny topspin. It doesn't matter how much rotation you get, if the ball is high enough, just hit straight through with speed and it will somehow land on the table.
Coincidentally,I just have two Chinese penhold Primorac carbon blades in my hands now. One of two blades has been used as my outstanding weapon to perform RPB in table tennis games,the other one has been my careful stocked collection for more than 18 years.
Those backhand shots are so vicious!
Dan I'm using this blade for a week and this blade has a really good speed my opponent usually say that the pace of the ball is quite fast than before and to generate more spin I have to brush the ball from bottom with good uplift .Allover the blade is a fantastic one .Iam using Rozena on my forehand and Dr Neubaeur Gorilla on backhand

How does anti behave on a blade like this
I think Hinoki outer ply blades have a unique character. I think they are bouncy and have that explosive hit. What i am not sure is if they are good in touch game because of the not so good feeling of the ball. So i believe its a blade for a fast play with aggressive counter hits and open game a little far from the table. Thanks for this amazing video
Primorac and Garaydia T5000. Both blades you don't want to give a slow heavy top spin loop. Because they will just answer with a closed angle flat drive off the bounce that's extremely fast. It would use the spin of the returning ball itself to get the ball over the net and the wielder would only need a stroke that's concentrated on power even with zero wrist "brushing" movement. Primorac also says that the hard part about blades like this is the first touch - which is very true. Because it's so fast the angle and power must be right otherwise the ball flies away so fast it just sinks into the net or flies off. Your brush movement has to be good to give enough ball-arcs
Zoran the whole video: ouaah ouu uoough
I played the primo with the old ball and i had no problems with control. I found it too slow for a tamca5000. After it i played the werner schlager carbon and the gergely alpha. This blades are much faster than the primo carbon and lack on control. Nobody could block just one of my forehand topspins but i had a big problem controling the backhand. Thats why i changed to mizutani super zlc which has a great speed and control balance
Finalllllyyyy I've had this blade for years now with the straight handle... never had a blade that suited me so much

I'm sure it's a great blade, but since I refuse to play with carbon blades, I chose a "Stiga Artic Wood" instead. I'm used to play with Stiga wood blades, so I got this since it's pretty fast while still being a all wood blade. I'm not gonna lie, the aesthetic of the blade also had quite a bit convince me to buy it.
Simply amazing!

I stop playing for 25 years. it took me 3 rackets and finally primorac to get back to table tennis. The blades allows me to return the ball faster with not so great effort especially now that im not my old thin self anymore. Using Nittaku G1 on FH and Donic Barracuda BH. My opponents is surprised on my shots sometime and that includes me. I'm also surprised that i was able to do that.
Wonderful analysis
Have been using the blade on and off for the last couple of years. Good for all kind of play, but it does feel heavy on the wrist

A really nice blade and I have one with old black tag.
If I can't loop with it, then I don't want it. Also, the short game is so important to get right, that I wouldn't want to use it. I can do a fast flat hit with a Boll ALC as well, right? I don't know. But the Boll ALC sounds like the more sensible choice, and most likely what I'm going to buy.
Please review the rakza series as well Dan. They are worth the effort.

Dan which of these blade is the fastest garaydia T5000,schlager carbon, or primorac carbon? Just curious about it.....😊✌

Very interesting video, cheers.
Im from croatia and he is my idol
I have this blade myself. My advice is don't use it unless you've got certain levels of controlling tecniques. The ball will simply bounce off your racket before you can apply more spin on it. Again, it depends on how you play. Wouldn't recommend it to a beginner.
It's been a year I play with this wood...I didn't know was the fastest... I love it combined with Tenergy 05, this is my favorite setup...I tried the dignics but can't seem to match well.

Regarding the weekness of the bat when receiving the service short in the forehand: this is an excellent video to see what Primo is talking about. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fIKqxLlwfbnNqag.html Kreanga serves again and again onto this weak spot and takes the rally with the third ball attack. But this was in times when there were the Cellu balls and there was more spin in the game. Meanwhile I guess it's easier to survive with the Primo Carbon the service and then - as soon as you're in the free game - you can use the overwhelming power of this battle machine. Of course only if you're skilled enough. :) Otherwise you'll be a lovely and beloved victim. :)
