Review of Friendship/729 Z-1 (Z1)That is an amazing blade for the price.I've ordered it as a test blade in addition to my Stiga OC CPen. Now i completely switcher to its as it gives my strokes more power and precision than i had with Stiga. Partially i think its due to narrower blade neck which makes my grip more flexible and of course the hardness which make it more powerful. Also my current rubber set (FH: DHS H2 39 / BH: Palio CJ8000 36-38 Biotech) work much better on this particular blade than it did on Stiga OC. Apr 15, 2025 | |||

Kokutaku Mermaid Black Wood

Review of Kokutaku Mermaid Black WoodVery poor quality, wood finishing feels like a sand paperThat was the first blade ever i had to sand before the sealing and even after that sponge was pulling splinters out of it. Also it sounds very dull in comparison with another cheap blade i got here both of which sound same frequency (measured with freq. meter). After close examination I realized what's wrong with this blade. Top layer is not solid piece of veneer. Its crosscut of layers of veneer glued together (same way blade handles usually made). Now it makes sense why sponge was pulling splinters out of it. So there is no excuse for the price cause for 30% less you can get Loki Kirin K1. And its almost perfect in comparison. If you search for a reasonable blade to play avoid this one. I'll probably give it to kids as an expendable bat. May 22, 2025 | |||||||||||||||

Loki Kirin K3

Review of Loki Kirin K3I've discovered that blades on aliexpress and temu and havent yet found any alternative in its price range for the build quality and playability. K3 is slightly more consistent than K1 however K1 is almost half of the price and i have bought a bunch of those already. Weight somewhere from 80 to 84 gramm. Frequencies from 1280 to 1350 Hz.As a blade for beginner who fancies offensive play style this is the one to start with and it will probably be enough for trainings and club level competitions for a year or more. And this is the blade to go if you just need your personal bat for casual play but dont want to spend tons of money on professional equipment. paired with something like Yinhe Mercury or something similar makes it perfect option under 30 bucks that no premade bat can compete with. except maybe some expensive ones from DHS or other big brands May 21, 2025 | |||||||||||||||

Review of Loki Kirin K1That is my favorite blade for the price!The one i would recommend for every beginner and more experienced player for training and club level competitions I already had 4 of these generally good build quality Weights between 80-84 gramm, Speeds OFF-/OFF between 1280-1350 Hz If you nee the cheapest but decent blade this is the way to go. Paired with something like Yinhe Mercury 2 or Palio CJ8000 that would beat almost all 3x-5x times more expensive premade bats May 22, 2025 | |||||||||||||||
