DHS Hurricane 301 Z
|
||||||||||||||
Review of DHS Hurricane 301 ZComparing directly to H301. FH:TG2 Provincial BH: Gold Arc 8 47.5. Feels more complete. The H301 model felt too soft or flexy. This blade has good feeling. Blade is still light. The composition combination definitely brings a more “strengthened feeling” compared to 301. Is still somewhat soft and precise for short game though which is dream. Driving is more linear and feels faster than 301. Very neat for looping. Quite some vibrations which for me gives good feeling but others may not like. I feel DHS has taken all the benefits of 301 and upgraded on other areas to create 301z. This probably the most quality blade I have by feeling. I put 1 coat of DHS sealer as 301 models are known to splint. Used DHS glue also. Everything DHS.Mar 16, 2023 | |||||||||||||||

DHS Hurricane 301T

Review of DHS Hurricane 301TI’ve used H301, 301z and 301T except 301X which I believe maybe a waste. Nevertheless I will give a review based on my experience with all 3.If you want speed 301T. If you want control 301 and 301z are quite similar in this department. 301T feels more stiff and harder hence the speed. The short game and touch shots all feel very similar which I feel is due to the fact that these are inner carbon layer blades. But if you’re looking for the blade that has the least rebound on touch shots I would say 301. 301z was most pleasant for myself in short game and blocking as I felt it was easier to execute variation in blocks and short game. Have to use a little more care with 301T in short game. Smashing 301T wins in this department. 301T has more threatening loops. All 3 blades have great looping capabilities. I felt that due to speed, 301T loops to under spin were more threatening. 301z would follow after with loop then 301 ranked last in drives and smashes. Smashing from far 301T wins in this department also. Conclusion: various rubbers on these blades make different experiences. I almost always use a fully extended arm when executing forehand drive. I use DHS skyline series as a Cpen player. If using skyline series you really have to close the angle of the blade and get low centre of gravity land balls on the table. Hurricane 3 would most likely be the easier option to adjust as a forehand rubber for this blade. You need the control. This is my rating of the blades. 1=301T 2=301z 3=301. 301 has the least speed and too much flex to make threatening shots. 301z is the medium of the two but i feel still doesn’t cut it if your feeling to improve speed. 301T is the champion of the 3. It feels like an external carbon blade when hit at distance. Here’s another review I agree with: https://www.tabletennisday.com/review/dhs-hurricane-301-series.html Sep 15, 2023 | |||||||||||||||

Loki SUPER WANG HAO W91

Review of Loki SUPER WANG HAO W91I have this when attempting to play shakehand grip. It is a nice blade. I never use Limba ply blades as a Cpen player. But using this with H3 provincial on forehand has gained my respect. Even when switching to Cpen using this blade, the comments I've recieved are that the touch/ short game has great quality in keeping the ball super low. Looping with this blade compliments the hurricane 3 with enormous spin combined with super mid-low throw just over the net. Unfortunately my drive game still needs work with power as a fake shakehand player. Never really given it a go on Cpen grip. Absolute bargain. No BSFeb 08, 2026 | |||||||||||||||

Review of Nittaku Tenaly Gyo-EnFH-Xuxin PP42° BH- H8-80. Much more comfortable for play when utilising shake hand grip. Forehand drives feel more natural and allow ease for better quality. The blades power is especially noticeable away from the table. Heavy loop and super speed with flat hits away from table. The blade feels muted in play. Not so much vibration. However you can still understand contact on the racket to some degree. Short play I struggle to adjust. When using Cpen grip. The handle further stabilises the grip. Wondeful blade. Shakehand players at the club wow at the ease of use.Jun 23, 2026 | |||||||||||||||

Stiga Dynasty Carbon

||||||||||||||
Review of Stiga Dynasty CarbonUpdated review after years of use: As a Cpen player this has assisted my feel of the ball in game play. Is a Fast blade with the right techniques with great control. Touch and short game is superb. I feel there is some flexibility to the blade. The textreme layer only activates on hard hits and maybe if your rubber is on the soft side, failing to suppress enough impact. This blade helped me identify that potentially for years I may have been bottoming out on forehand for heavy drives & loops with 40° DHS rubbers. Price point sucks but the quality of feel is worth it.Oct 10, 2026 | |||||||||||||||

Stiga Intensity NCT Carbon
|
||||||||||||
Review of Stiga Intensity NCT CarbonVery satisfied suits my style. Short game satisfying. Flat hits have assisted my game marginally. Opponents commended my short game. There was a great percentage of misconception perceived by player’s receiving my serves whilst using this blade also. I felt that I had great control in serve game and a vast variety of spin/ no spin serves at my disposal. This blade assisted me in tricking my opponent at different sections of play in the game. I found that I was able to trick players at the serve (spin/no spin), “appear” to be accelerating spin on rally exchanges and keeping ball marginally shorter after receiving half long serves. These were highlight moments using this blade. Some similar experiences to when I used YEO. From what I can recall from YEO experiences I feel that the benefits of this blade are: 1. Slight increase in speed 2. Light weight blade. Negatives: 1.spin. All things considered for my style this blade set up is a what I seek. Stay forward TT enthusiastsNov 30, 2023 | |||||||||||||

Stiga Intense CCF
|
||||||||||||
Review of Stiga Intense CCFUpdate after approximately 2 weeks of play:I’m comparing the STIGA Intense CCF directly with blades I’ve used extensively: Dynasty Carbon, Intensity Carbon and Yasaka Extra Offensive 7. Mine weighs 85g and is slightly thicker than my Dynasty Carbon. With more time on the blade, I’ve discovered considerably more spin potential than I initially realised. The Intense CCF produces extremely spin-heavy loops with a predictable, linear response and excellent arc. I previously felt the Dynasty Carbon clearly won from long distance, but I’m changing that assessment. The Intense CCF is very capable from mid-to-long distance when playing a committed spin loop. Dynasty Carbon makes it easier to put the ball back on the table from distance, but the returning ball doesn’t seem to carry the same spin quality as the CCF. The CCF rewards proper positioning and acceleration rather than providing effortless power. My opinion on the short game has also changed slightly. I originally rated the CCF above Dynasty Carbon here, but my short touch has been less consistent than usual. Based purely on results, Dynasty Carbon may actually have the advantage for short touch and placement. Interestingly, I still prefer the feel of the CCF in the short game. Serving remains very consistent, although I may still be adjusting after transitioning from Dynasty Carbon. Vibrational feedback remains one of the CCF’s weaker areas. Dynasty Carbon provides noticeably more feedback. However, I prefer the Intense CCF’s feeling during loops, where its spin, arc and control really stand out. Overall, CCF provides excellent forgiveness, linearity, blocking and exceptional spin potential. Dynasty Carbon offers easier power, stronger feedback and currently more consistent short touch, while CCF gives me the better looping experience and higher spin potential. Still one of my best blade purchases. FH: DHS Skyline TG2 Provincial 40° BH: Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft MAX Oct 10, 2026 | |||||||||||||

Yasaka Goiabao 5

||||||||||||||
Review of Yasaka Goiabao 5CPen review. I used with Skyline 3 provincial FH and H3 on BH. Strong 5ply blade. Doing a comparison to Yasaka Extra offensive. Not much flex quite stiff with hard surface. I found that looping rubber is best option for this blade due to low throw and long trajectory. Short game had to use light touch to keep short. Vibrations very minimal. Blocking, slapping, looping playing near and far weren’t an issue. Playing far from table was quite good for a 5ply blade. No issues at all. I just bought for the hype and claim to be the upgraded version of Yasaka Extra offensive. This is a false statement. Still great no hate.Mar 20, 2023 | |||||||||||||||

Yinhe Purple Dragon PD-537

Review of Yinhe Purple Dragon PD-537Decided try out an all wood blade such as this. When coming from ALC blades such as H301 series. This takes some bit to adjust. I appreciated the power of this racket. Behind the table a few metres back was easy to return the ball. The blade felt very linear in drives and quite predictable. Blocking and returning loop drives with a slap was my highlights of this blade. I feel it was due to my unfamiliarity with this blade that I wasn’t able to produce the tricky power forehand drives that usually win me points. The power of this blade I feel is comparably similar to the Goiabao 5 which I believe is fast. G5 is still a harder and stiffer blade. I should have used TG3 BS instead of TG2 BS for better looping and confidence. Touch game is dependent on your feel. Easy to pop the ball too high. Lifting underspin with topspin requires quality brushing.Beautiful piece otherwise. The price for quality is amazing. Yasaka would sell this for $20-$30 more. Aug 15, 2023 | |||||||||||||||
