Review of Donic Alligator Combi

Great blade at a good price. Lightweight blade with small vibrations, allows you too make controllable loops and topspins. The difference between both sides is slightly noticeable. The only thing i didn't like was both outer plies are very thin but i guess that makes it controllable. I suggest always use a fast high quality rubber on the ALL+ side, and experiment all you like with the DEF+ side.

edit: the quality is not good since the balsa core is flimsy and snapped easily (verified by a couple of users in other forums)

Review of Donier Defensive

Great blade for its price. The build quality is not perfect but i won't complain. I use the ST version, the handle is very comfortable, not too thin nor thick so it's very easy to twiddle due to its super light weight with only 5mm thick.
I use Japanese Rubber on the FH, topsins are full of control and spin with medium speed, if you hit the ball flat, the blade will flex a lot and shoot the ball faster than you would think, so i try to avoid that.
On BH, i've tested it with German Tensor, Chinese Tacky and chinese LP rubbers. I initially tested the LP but seeing how much control i had on the FH, i switched to inverted rubbers. Overall is a good blade for looping, serving and chopping, for high speed FH rallys away from the table and smashes not so much.
I recommend this blade for beginners and all around players who like light blades.

PD: forgot to mention I did remove material to match the standard BTY blade shape, because the oversize was too awkward and ruined my balance... and it's easier to switch between the many rubbers I test

Review of Neottec Magic Control

Amazing quality for the price, I'm using the updated one with new handle design, in conic handle which is very confortable. It's 5.5mm thickness had me worried but it doesn't flex. it really honor its name you can put any kind of rubber and it will give you maximum control, but i wouldn't recommend thick hard chinese sponges because it will defeat the purpose of control. great for chopping, pushing and topspin loops with medium speed and high accuracy

Review of Tibhar Triple Carbon

Heavy and fast, most probably suitable for the experienced player. Medium control even with soft rubbers (FH: T80fx - BH: Airoc S) so I try not to play too close to the table or the ball will go long. The FL handle is a a little bit thinner but comfortable. Recommended for agressive play.

edit: definitely too stiff to loop with fast Pro rubbers, very unforgiven. Beware, the tag is just a plastic badge it ruins easily with your sweat or grip tape, this a poor design on many tibhar blades instead of putting a proper logo behind a lens
