Review of JOOLA Chen Weixing

A very heavy blade before rubbers are glued. I am a long pips player on my BH, very good LP platform but my only concern is I just can't get comfortable with any set up that I've used.
I currently have DHS Memo 2, black 2.15mm FH, with DHS C8 red 1.0 BH.
Loads of control good speed to win points with BH attacks but not good for rubbers over 2.00mm just to FH heavy.I rate this blade highly but the starting weight is my issue. Its the heaviest blade in my bag....says it all really. The craftmanship of this blade I rate as 10/10 if you like a heavy blade that offers good control and enough speed to kill a point with the right rubbers then this is for you and all at a good price to.

Review of KTL (LKT) Pro XC

Bought two of these from Zeropong and have rubbered one up with LKT Red Diamond FH (Golden cake Sponge 2.1mm) Rapid speed 2.0mm black BH for coaching purposes as I am a pimpled out player on my BH.
Great control, but has the speed there for winning fast points up close or at mid distance. Good for looping if paired with the right rubber. I have the weight set near the back of the handle for weight distribution as the LKT rubber make the blade very head heavy. Great finish on the blade. Although I play in the league with Long Pips on a DEF+ blade, I am going to put a Mid Pimple on the 2nd blade to get a pips out perspective of the playing characterisitcs. A good buy also for beginners as it is all wood. The rating for this blade is 7++ but I'd only give it 6.5 at the most, slower than my 2 TSP Reflex Award 50 blades one of which has Rapid Speed 2.0mm on the forehand. But I'd agree with the control rating given of 9. My first buy of LKT equipment and blade and rubbers bought get my thumbs up.

Review of TSP Award Defensive

I now have two of these blades, My main set up is FH DHS G888 Red 1.8mm and BH Black Donic Alligator Anti Loop 1.5 which is a hard anti loop.
2nd set up is DHS Red 2.0mm G888 FH, BH DHS Cloud and Fog 3 Long pimples 1.0.
I have been using these all season, and my whole game has improved, in fact I play mainly with the anti loop set up. These blades have so much control and paired with the right rubbers give excellant feed back in feel to it's user. Using the 1.8mm rubber really adds bite to my FH loops and the anti is great for controlling a game even against a fast top spiner on both wings. I find I can do/play how I want and not let my opponent control the game. I am hoping to get another of these in def version and the the faster All version. I have sold most of my Off/Off+ blades as they are now not needed. I rate this blade very highly.

Review of Yinhe LQ-2

Updated review.
After using this blade for two thirds of a season, I have come the the conclusion that it is a lot better than first thought.
Although I now want to try a slightly softer, faster FH rubber the Long Pips on my BH cause confusion amongst my opponents as I hit at any distance with a great deal of accuracy. The hardness of the blade complements the Long Pips DHS Cloud & Fog 3 1.0mm red. I have got used to playing with a hard FH rubber, DHS G888 2.2mm black. I get great spin on loops & have been able to lift backspin to some degree. I play a looping hitting game. I think there are a lot of players who just think that long pips are for blocking and disturbance, not with this blade.
This blade is definately more all/all+ and playing a hitting chopping & blocking BH game works well for me.
I underestimated just what this blade is capable off.
My only worry is the degredation to the cork handle, mine is straight. I have noticed some splits in several places both where the cork meets the wood and on the top of the handle to.
Otherwise a well made blade.
I am still deciding weather or not to try the LQ-1 because it is slightly faster and has an all wood handle. If anyone has used one please let me know it's game play.

Review of Yinhe CN.1 Children Carbon

I bought one for my six year old as I have had a number of Galaxy blades and currently use an LQ-2 Def + blade myself. Good quality blade paired with some 729 General rubber in 1.8mm red FH and 1.5mm Black BH. My daughter has been playing a month and is enjoying the rallies in training. A rather soft feel and very easy to generate spin. In all I put this blade combo together for £13.00 UK Pounds. A very good value for money bat for my daughter.
