Review of JOOLA Wing MediumThis is a great allround blade, loops, chops, blocks, touch shots, and with the right rubber (like Palio Macro Era), solid smashes. It's good at everything and pretty versatile. I've used it offensively with Acuda S1/Outlaw, and defensively with Submarine/Allround. The control is exceptional. The handle is extremely comfortable, I can go 4 hours with no fatigue in the hand. For an all purpose blade, I like it way better than my Galaxy W6.

Review of Stiga Offensive CR WRBIt has more flex than a Galaxy W6 and is easily the best looping blade I have, but the high flex messes up my timing for hard smashes when the ball is low. Of course you have to swing a bit slower for the flex to catch up (just like medium flex golf clubs are for people with controlled medium speed swings) but you still don't generate the speed that you do from a stiffer blade. Control and feel for the ball is good, even very good. Blocks and chops are unbelievable with this blade. If you loop from both wings, this is a great blade to try. I have the FL handle (masters), only 79 grams. The FL legend handle is larger and should add some weight. If you like to flat hit and mix up the attack a bit, I'd consider the Galaxy W1. It's faster and a bit stiffer, but can still generate a powerful loop.
Since my earlier entry, I've learned how to get the most out of the flex and now smashes are plenty fast.

Review of Yinhe W-6It has decent control and feel for the ball. The speed is OK, the spin OK but certainly not deserving of the name loop king. And what's with that gonging noise? 96 grams, ST handle
