Where are their difference?

I find that these glass fiber carbon only slows things down but not really that useful sometimes...

What do you think?

I think this type of glass fiber carbon blades should be weaker than just carbon blades.
I just got a chance to bounce a ball on a butterfly blade itself. Rather not so bouncy! Only a few bounce and the ball would come to a nice rest. Looks like a lot of vibration and power is absorbed away.

So it means that you have to work harder on glass fiber carbon blades than those carbon blades.

No idea what the latter two are, but carbon gives a higher ping sound, reduces gears, makes the blade stiffer and faster overall, doesn't affect vibration much, whereas aralyte carbon gives a lower pitch, keeps gears the same or increases them with an otherwise stiff blade, can decrease hardness if the layer is thick enough, and dampens a lot of vibration. I imagine G-carbon and laser carbon are fairly similar; most companies just have some strange name to refer to stuff and it doesn't mean it's that different from what you might get from other companies.

I haven't compared very similar blades, but glass carbon is a bit softer than aramid carbon and arylate carbon.

Not much softer, but a bit.

I never tried a "glass/carbon", but I used to have a Juic, Air, Glass Fiber blade, The G 10. That was the hardest feeling blade I ever tried. Bounce a ball on the blade and it felt like steel. With fast Euro rubbers, it was "Ping" and gone. I like fast setups but that was too much.
The glass in that blade sure didn't soften the feel any.
