Review of Donic Waldner Legend CarbonGreat blade for aggressive players. Even with harder rubbers such as Donic's Acuda Blue P1 Turbo, I can slow loop, push the ball short, block with a lot of pace and also finish the point with amazing speed. Requires good technique tho, still strugling a bit sometimes. Lightweight.
EDIT: Once you get the hang of it, the ball goes wherever you want it to go, superb control for such a fast blade!

Review of Stiga Offensive Classic WRBUsing the CPEN version, sealed. Lightweight. Mine has 73g, by request. Has quite some vibration, as already mentioned, but it doesn't bother me. Does well in every department, from blocks to flicks, serves to receives, flat hits to loops. Has plenty of speed, considering it's a thin 5-ply wooden blade. I'm really enjoying using it, mostly because of it's weight and direct feeling. Feels stiffer and more direct than Xiom's Offensive S. Lacks speed with soft rubbers, such as Joola's Maxx-P, but works alright with harder rubbers. Yasaka's Rising Dragon is a good choice on the FH.

Review of Xiom Offensive SGreat blade for the offensive player that prefers control and spin over speed or those who want to develop their game before moving on to faster blades. Nice dwell time. Paired with medium hardness rubbers like Xiom's Vega Asia, it lacks some punch far from the table, but I believe that with harder rubbers, there shouldn't be any problem. Nice finish, but the handle of the CPEN version feels a little bit thin.

Review of Yasaka Extra SpecialNice blade for loopers. Good dwell time, good speed away from the table, excellent control. Pairs well with medium hard rubbers like Xiom's Omega IV Pro. Kinda heavy, tho.
I needed to sand quite a bit of the neck to make it comfortable for my fingers, playing CPEN. That's not necessarily negative, cause it means we have a bigger margin for customization. The top ply seems quite fragile, getting damaged even with a slight hit on the table, not sure if it's related to the wood properties or if it's just poor finish.
