Review of Donic Appelgren Exclusive ARI bought this blade to re educate my strokes. Previsouly i used Rosewood V with 2 Rakzas, way too fast to my level.I paired this blade with two Mark V AD. Yea, it is slow, reaaly slow. But that is just what i wanted. This combo has a really low throw, i mean it, so every shot i have to do the proper technic to hit the other side. Spin i think its low but mainly due the rubber. only if i dig deep in the sponge i can produce good spin. Thats good for my strategy because oponent is getting used to you flat and low balls and then you make a spinny slow loop. Due its elasticity i can make really fast backhand swings, being my primary kill shot. It is awesome for blocking topspins but tricky to do so with flat hits. Sweet spot is medium. Overall id rate this blade as 8, as long as you are a newplayer/developing intermediate. You must go for every shot, you will have a good control. And its light, mine came as 77g. With rubber i think its around 140g. Jul 03, 2015 | |||||||||||||||

Review of Donic Ovtcharov CarbospeedKiri, Energy Carbon, Hinoki. 5 ply. 7.0mm . 87gr2x Xiom Omega IV Asia MAX An outstanding product. I purchased this blade last week and i must say im surprized. Tried Stigas and Btys powerhouses such as Clipper, RW5, TBALC,Primorac Carbon, etc...but none assembled so well the Carbospeed characteristcs. Tons of speed. Lightning fast. Drives and hits are top tier. You can easily place the ball even close to the table. Loops are quite tricky due medium dwell you must make a quick movement and use wrist otherwise will hit net or overtable. The throw is linear compared to most blades. There have to be spin in the ball to it produces an arc. Paired with Xiom Omega IV Asia short game is a piece of cake. Pretty dead rubber if you dont engage sponge but once you do it has monstruous spin and control. Flicks are quite good when movement is quick. 3+ meters from table is easy, top spin rallies are menageable, id say easy but i lack the technique so wont go further. In short : Amazing blade. Easy to use.I dont know if i paired to exact holy grail rubber for this blade but despite slow strokes doesnt work that well, i cant think any drawback. Finishing and Craftmanship top tier. The handle is so beaultiful that i feel bad to have to dirty it. :/ The blade is so well balanced. Even with medium++ weight rubber. 44g i think. Price. Ohhh the price. Bought for only 60USD. Not for lazyass strokes. You must go for every shot. Feet, knee, hips, back, shoulder, arm, wrist, blade! Very controlable short game. Tricky close to the table due linear throw.

Nittaku Acoustic Carbon

Review of Nittaku Acoustic CarbonWhen i bought it my first thought was it d be too fast. coming from 5 plies all wood, my suprise is indeed it is fast, but not overly fast like hinoki/carbon blades. Speed is a bit higher than tenor. Same control. Touch is unbelievable. I paired with Fastarc G1 & S1. It has all gears. Dead when passive and explosive when full swing. Throw is medium. It is very loud :)Having played with TBS, TBALC, Vega Pro, Viscaria and some donics, i must say this one here is a keeper. It has the speed, control and most important to me, wood feeling and touch. If you find one with Large handle, just feckin buy <3 Oct 07, 2015 | |||||||||||||||

Stiga Rosewood NCT V

Review of Stiga Rosewood NCT VMy first real blade. Previously i was playing with an old TSP Chinese 5-S, All around, lots of vibration and slow.It was a huuuuuuge BOOM to my experience. This blade is as fast as date lenght. At first i tried with LT PLUS BH LT SOUND FH but it was ~meh~. Then i tried H3NEO FH Rakza7 BH...too heavy and did not fell right. Then i tried LT PLUS as FH and maintained Rakza 7 as BH. Supa dupa blaster master speed!! Awesome! I was able to loop consistently with BH and fast drive/smash with FH. Awesome....but still felt strange. Now i am with Rakza 7 Max both sides....WOW. Thats is! My control short, close and mid distance improved a lot as i vary speed/spin a lot during a point, it offers very smooth transitioning. The control provided by blade is good. Not superb, but good. It flexes a bit when swing too fast, which i found in hand on those far backhand angle strokes. Speed is high. Feeling...hmm...maybe i didnt my medicines up lately but it talks with you. Whenever you are with wrong rubber, stroke poorly...it tells ya. I never saw myself blaming the rubber for that difficult stroke went wrong....i knew it was me...dem feels bro. In short Tons of fells - of course, monoply hinoki is the king in this department Control - Good, yeah...good. Speed - High o/ Hardness - HARD Stiffness - Medium id say. Short game - it lacks some control but i think its due rakza. Paired with medium-soft/medium rubbers is a looping machine. Rakza 7, Omega iv euro, Sigma II Euro would be good choices. Maybe Calibra LT Spin and Airoc M too!! Ohh, mine weights 82gr! im lucky :)) If you are an intermediate player and want to take TT seriously, id highly advise this blade.

Yasaka Extra Special

Review of Yasaka Extra SpecialI'm a rookie in table tennis (6months) and then i started to use this blade (CH version)...WOW, i felt so much difference about control, spin and smashes. Im using Stiga Calibra LT PLus FH, Calibra LT Sound BH. I think my forehand still too fast, my backhand control is superb (for my level hehe), so i think if you use soft sponge on both sides it would be the best! I tried yesterday Rakza 7 Soft as Forehand and it was marvelous, the throw angle was medium high but ALWAYS hiting the table whether it was looping a backspin (3rd ball) or counterloop as 4th ball.To all my rookie fellow, i highly recommend this blade with medium/soft sponge rubers. No mistakes! Apr 26, 2015 | |||||||||||||

Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive

Review of Yasaka Ma Lin Extra OffensiveAs everyone mention, the feeling. The feeling with this blade is amazing, i cant describe.Sweetspot is almost entire blade. Mine is 87g. Fast, medium/hard bit of flexure. Control is the best ive tested. 9.5 for sure. I use with Rakza7 max both sides. I can produce monstruous spin in both slow loop or loop drive shots.My serve is very damaging. The only problem i have is flat hits but i think its more due technic/rubber than this beautiful blade. I recommend to anyone who like to play until 2m of table, more than that i think will lack some power. Jul 03, 2015 | |||||||||||||||

Review of Yasaka MusashiMy first ever Table Tenis blade. Used to use tons of speed glue with either Midshid or Mark V GPS. Nowadays i have a Calibra LT Plus.Really high throw, blocks are tricky. I think it excells doing loop drives. High quality, after many years looks like new. Jul 03, 2015 | |||||||||||||||
