Avalox P500

||||||||||||
Review of Avalox P500after i bought Sanwei FEXTRA 5 which has exactly same composition - Koto, Spruce, Ayous, I have tried at the club this blade......amazing blade.......but Sanwei Fextra 5 feels identical for 1/5 of the price;.....i couldn't even tell the difference. great blade but lately it jumped from 65 euros to 110 on table tennis 11; i would rather GO for SANWEI FEXTRA 5.May 06, 2026 | |||||||||||||

Butterfly Lin Yun-Ju Super ZLC
|
||||||||||||||
Review of Butterfly Lin Yun-Ju Super ZLCinsane cost and thats why i hate to admit - best blade; Best blade for Topspin and drive, drive loop; has flex;very good for looping; has very controllable kick for powerlooping and distance topspin; Very Crispy; i think MOST Crispy Blade i tried - by far; Great feeling feedback; i dont know why people rank it as very fast; its fast but not close to very fast blades; and Not even close to fastest blades; Unbelievable control; more than one could imagine. Yes, strange as being Offensive blade most controllable Offensive blade i tried. For me more controllable and confidence inspiring than Viscaria, Stiga cybershape, Xiom Ice cream inner, Fan Z, Zhang Jike, Timo Ball; much more controllable that Huricane 5 Long Provincial or National. Has medium Hardness. Fit and Finish absolutely fantastic. played the blade with Tenergy 05, Zaia, dignics 09C(didint like it), Dignics 05(didnt like it either); Liked it with Tenergy 05 the most(i guess; I dont like that much ZLC blades or aramid, kevlar carbon but i was simply stunned how amazing this Super ZLC is. if money is not an object for you - there is No substitute of other blade that would come close to this blade. Not Zhang Jike SZLC, not Jun Mizutani SZLC, or Fan Z Super ZLC would be exact substitute. This one better feel, better control, amazing blade. i said to myself no more blades but after trying again and again i ordered one; No other blade came close to it. Oct 10, 2026 | |||||||||||||||

Butterfly Zhang Jike ALC
|
||||||||||||||
Review of Butterfly Zhang Jike ALCLiked viscaria more Than ZJ ALC this one harder, a little siffer; Viscaria was better looping; Viscaria Seemed to have better dwell; Less feeling than Viscaria; I didnt like it that much; sold it;Oct 10, 2026 | |||||||||||||||

Butterfly Primorac Carbon TAMCA 5000
|
||||||||||||||
Review of Butterfly Primorac Carbon TAMCA 5000Consistent blade. Hinoki wood softens Tamca carbon. Stable. Linear. Pretty good control; for me better control than ZJ ALC; Stiff but not that hard because of hinoki layer which is very thick. hard on strong shots when carbon engages; i like the blade; i prefer a little more looking blade than this one but i still miss mine and still like it; I think medium hard rubbers are the best; i liked T05 on this oneOct 10, 2026 | |||||||||||||||

Butterfly Viscaria
|
||||||||||||
Review of Butterfly ViscariaGreat looping blade; I like it the most from all ALC blades; but i find SZLC Lin YJ better control, better feel, and better blade over all. Viscaria better looping;Oct 10, 2026 | |||||||||||||
Darker (1)

Darker Speed 90
|
||||||||||||||
Review of Darker Speed 90Best blade. Speed. Spin , touch and control is above and beyond. And I have owned and played DHS hurricane National and many other high end blades. This one has best feel, spin and control.Feb 19, 2024 | |||||||||||||||
DHS (3)
 |
DHS Hurricane Long 2
|
||||||||||||||
Review of DHS Hurricane Long 2Mine was bought in China. Older version. Thus has larger head. That makes blade flexible - good for looping. It’s not as hard as hard blades with hard wood outer veneers or hard carbon - medium hardness which is very good for control, blocking, backhand yet has plenty of dwell. It’s fast.Fit and finish is art. Best crispy, clicking sound and superb feel(clipper or my HL5 are Not close to this feel)). Spin is simply tremendous. I find it above my level but it is the best blade. Oct 21, 2023 | |||||||||||||||

DHS Hurricane Long 3
|
 |
DHS Hurricane Long 5
|
||||||||||||
Review of DHS Hurricane Long 5Catapulty., on higher shots harder to control; yes i understand, needs good technique, timing and being active. but that catapult on stronger shots makes it less controllable that some SZLC blades, let alone wood blades. very good looping blade, and 3rd ball attack; quality on dhs blades Differs, even through official dealers; I prefer blades with more crispy feel than muted and duller feeling of HL5 Provincial.Oct 10, 2026 | |||||||||||||

Gewo Sensus Carbo Powerfeeling
|
||||||||||||||
Review of Gewo Sensus Carbo PowerfeelingWhat a blade. Until now that Koki Niwa is my favourite blade, this one used to be my favourite(I still own many blades including Viscaria, 301 DHS, yeo 7, rosewood, etc). Very enjoyable blade. My hand just goes for that blade. Fast blade. Very crispy. Impactful. Being wood blade , great for spin, and absolutely amazing for control. This one is one of my favourite that I would not part with.Apr 30, 2023 | |||||||||||||||
Nittaku (2)

Nittaku Miyabi
|
||||||||||||||
Review of Nittaku MiyabiGreat blade. For me second best after Darker Speed 90 and I prefer it to PP Moby. Speed is definitely more than even some carbon blades. Great touch. Great feeling. Good Spin and control. Over all I love it. Love it more than any carbon blade. For me it works so well even with Butterfly Rozena.Feb 19, 2024 | |||||||||||||||

Nittaku Violin Carbon
|
||||||||||||
Review of Nittaku Violin Carbonsuperb feeling and feedback blade. especially with T05 and MX-P; loved it more than Violin 5 ply. sold it since i didnt use it much but it was my regular for a bit of time. not that hard. has good flex. looping blade more than smashing. probably not powerful enough for top players; distance topspin.Oct 10, 2026 | |||||||||||||

OSP V'King OFF

Review of OSP V'King OFFi have Sanwei Fexta 5; Koto spruce structure just like this one. i just played with OSP V'King.....crispiness and feedback Sanwei Fextra 5 better; ...Fexta 5much more crispy.; ....

PP APOLLO-8 FL Octagonal 3 Ply Japan Kiso Hinoki
|
||||||||||||||
Review of PP APOLLO-8 FL Octagonal 3 Ply Japan Kiso Hinokibought one from Tony Hsu(the owner/maker for PP brand)...shipped from Taiwan...very fast shipping with tracking.....blade has great feeling; slower than korbel 5 ply. a little more stiff and a little more solid than most 5 ply;......soft feel.....good feel of the ball;..... no crisp feeling like on koto, - Fextra 5;........control is high;..i would say all+ maybe Off -- when you put yourself into shot.....great for developing, technical player; good for topspin and smash as well;.... if you are comparing to 1ply japan hinoki, 10mm - yes, 1ply Japanese Hinoki has better feeling, more power and more gears; this one has less high gears; a little less feeling; less speed; great blade - I would definitely Choose THIS one over most 5 ply, primorac, korbel, xiom offensive, stiga, yasaka; great for up to intermediate level; control and spin are superb;May 06, 2026 | |||||||||||||||

PP MOBY JAPAN Kiso Hinoki FL
|
||||||||||||
Review of PP MOBY JAPAN Kiso Hinoki FLI would choose this one over darker 90; for the money this one is much better value; amazing blade. If you like to topspin - superb blade. This is the blade. One ply Japanese Kiso Hinoki is definetely one of the best feeling blades.Oct 10, 2026 | |||||||||||||

Sanwei King Kong 2
|
||||||||||||
Review of Sanwei King Kong 2I never imagined that cypress is such an amazing and dynamic wood for blades. Very good and fun to play with blade. Go for it - you won’t be disappointed. Some blades spin, some defend, some control - this blade is fun. Hard blade but dynamic and feeling hard not dead hard. Stiff blade. Speed is amazing yet it is very controllable. Not that bouncy at all. Blocking is very good. Smashing is the best. I loved it with JOOLA Rhyzm acc best. Best backhand shots I ever made. Smashing through the low or under spin balls on the table is very easy. Something about cypress feeling as well.Sep 19, 2023 | |||||||||||||

Sanwei FEXTRA 7
|
||||||||||||||
Review of Sanwei FEXTRA 7Great blade. Feeling better than stiga clipper. Has nice cracking noise at harder shots. Best paired with Nittaku G-1. Try it. Worth every penny. For $20 usd best blade. I would choose fextra over some yasaka and stiga blades.Oct 04, 2023 | |||||||||||||||

Sanwei V5 Pro
|
||||||||||||
Review of Sanwei V5 ProYou have to try it. Reading and comparing by book never gives the same result ….. Feeling of the blade - like musical instrument….. speed - fast. Faster than Clipper. Faster than Nittaku violin carbon with same rubbers. …. Best blade I have tried for hitting through under spin. You can simply topspin smash through under spin. ….. hardness - perfect hardness - harder than Clipper or DHS hurricane long 2 …. Flex - good for looping….spin - very spinny……..control - for such speed it is very good control…. best rubbers - Victas V15 EXTRA and MX-P ;;;; G-1, C-1, Andro Hexer, Rasanter, Victas limber, Rakza soft - all these did Not play that well on the blade. Even Tenergy didn’t seem to make such a complete combo as v15 Extra or Mx-p. ….try it. ….Best blade I owned for under $50. I am buying second one while they are still available. I bought from aliexpress. It came with Sanwei Box, production number on the box and quality, surface, evenness are definitely top notch.Jun 05, 2024 | |||||||||||||

Sanwei FEXTRA 5 Classic
|
||||||||||||||
Review of Sanwei FEXTRA 5 ClassicSuperb blade...What a crisp feel....bought in on ali express from BEO store...shipped and delivered very fast with tracking number........now i understand why Avalox P500 was so popular with many national and international players- Koto, spruce, ayous, same structure as Avalox P500;. .............. incredible blade; koto with spruce works really well; has flex and thus has great spin; medium hard which allows you to squeeze sponge easier and which gives you great spin; control is outstanding; gave it to one of coaches at the club who was national junior champion and he was amazed with control while complimenting the spin of the blade; speed is about korbel 5 ply; maybe a little faster; feeling is simply one of the best; ihave had 57 blades and i thought that nittaku violin had feeling but this one is nothing less than Violin in feeling; in fact i like the feel and feedback even more; Also more than my 3 ply Japanese 350 years hinoki blade....for $20, you should try it; simply amazing; i have played few weeks to see if initial impression would not fade off and it didnt; better than primorac, korbel, violin(in my opnion); impressed me so much that i really want to try Fextra 5X with Basalt Volcanic rock/glass fiber which also has Koto and Ayous.

Victas Koki Niwa Wood
|
||||||||||||||
Review of Victas Koki Niwa WoodI played with blade 3 month before doing review. Now with confidence can say it is amazing blade. Feeling better than Nittakku Violin or Acoustic. Feeling is absolutely best. Depending on rubber feeling is crispy. Flex and spin are amazing. Speed is fast for all wood blade. It is at least as fast as my Viscaria. Pick heavier if you need more speed and you ok with 90+ grams weight. Control is absolutely best. Beginner to a pro level blade. I tried different rubbers and medium to a hard all play super well. Carbon will never give you same feel or control. Just today played with Viscaria and same rubber and Viscaria if dull and less spinny comparing to Koki Niwa.Mar 11, 2024 | |||||||||||||||

Victas Koki Niwa
|
||||||||||||||
Review of Victas Koki NiwaGreat blade. I like it much more than Viscaria. A bit stiff, a little hard but not dead hard feeling. Not disconnected. Great in today’s fast aggressive looping, blocking, chop blocking and close to table play. I agree with Tabke tennis 11 professional review about this blade. Spinny, very enjoyable to play with. Plays well with harder rubber but plays also with 43 degrees rubbers.After testing many times my friends Koki Niwa and Ma Long blades I liked this one more. Even the partner at club said that shots became much more spiny and artistic comparing to all the before blades I used against him. One of the few that I will always keep.

Victas Quartet VFC
|
||||||||||||
Review of Victas Quartet VFCI had that blade for few months and it was fantastic blade. Best aramid carbon blade in my opinion. Very good topspin blade I liked it more that Quartet LFC and Quartet SFC. This one harder than previous two. more dynamic and better for topspin from different distances. i had the one with purple handle, old one. i would imagine new ones are similar. The old one one of the favorite blades.Oct 10, 2026 | |||||||||||||

Xiom ICE CREAM AZXi
|
||||||||||||||
Review of Xiom ICE CREAM AZXiSuper blade. Even though normally I like 7 ply wood more this is incredible blade. Played well with dignics 09c. And played super well with rakza 7 Soft. Speed a notch more of viscaria. Control much more I would say. Better spin; maybe Limba wood and better dwell contribute to that spin. Better feel in my opinion than viscaria. I liked it more than viscaria. If you can still find one - go for it. Well worth it.Sep 29, 2023 | |||||||||||||||

Xiom AJH TMXI
|
||||||||||||||
Review of Xiom AJH TMXIOk blade but for price there are much better blades. Stiff, not as enjoyable for looping. Good for samshers. A little hard. Good but not best for control.Oct 21, 2023 | |||||||||||||||
 |
Xiom AJH TMXi Pro
|
||||||||||||||
Review of Xiom AJH TMXi ProA little better than TMXi (non Pro). But stiff and looping is not as enjoyable as DHS hurricane long 3 or even viscaria. A little hard. For its money I would choose many other blades.Oct 21, 2023 | |||||||||||||||

XVT Rose Wood Nano 7
|
||||||||||||
Review of XVT Rose Wood Nano 76.9mm; stiff blade relatively but not that hard. very good clicking feedback sound. i like it. but i like somewhat flexy, looping blades -thats not the blade. perfect for drive; in fact i played many times with Stiga rosewood and i like this one more.Oct 10, 2026 | |||||||||||||
