Nittaku S-Series S-CZ

||||||||||||
Review of Nittaku S-Series S-CZThis is a beautiful new offering from Nittaku, but made by SoulSpin in Germany. Handle is one of the best I’ve ever seen this side of a custom blade. It has the normal characteristics of a Zylon blade with Hinoki veneers. Great touch in the short game but with plenty of power away from the table. Compared to Primorac Carbon this has more flex & spin but is a little slower and more controlled. This has a similar composition to the Andro Treiber Z. High quality blade that seems to do everything very well but nothing mind blowing.Mar 15, 2018 | |||||||||||||

Tibhar Cedric Nuytinck

Review of Tibhar Cedric NuytinckExcellent Z Fiber blade. This is a controllable Z blade. Limba outer gives it a nice touch for over the table. The Z fiber gives it the power from mid-distance. Probably not the best choice for those that play far back. It is Offensive- to Offensive in speed. Light vibrations. Good quality build. Mine weighed 90 grams. The only two drawbacks:1. Expensive. Along with Kinetic Speed this is Tibhar's priciest blade. $250 retail. I bought mine lightly used from a Euro player for $165. 2. Hard to find. TableTennis11 carries it for $187, but usually low stock (probably due to price). Feb 16, 2019 | |||||||||||||||

Xiom Hayabusa Z+

Review of Xiom Hayabusa Z+I'm a fan of the new Hayabusa Z series from Xiom. I've played with this Z+ model and the ZXi. I give the slight nod to the ZXi but it is also about $25 USD more.My only complaint was the sharp edges of the wings for such a high end blade. But they include a sanding stick in the packaging (which seems like an admission to me that they know it needs sanding.) I mounted Xiom Vega Japan 2.0 on both FH / BH. It's rated Off, and it does have plenty of speed but the overall control made it feel more like an O- in a good way. Looping is solid, but, I really like how the blade feels close to the table. I don't think there is anything this blade is bad at, and plenty it excels at. Jul 24, 2013 | |||||||||||||||

Review of Xiom Hayabusa ZXiLove this blade. Fast, but with plenty of control. Big sweet spot. Plays great from over the table to mid-range. Lots of ball feedback.Only complaint is the sharp wing edges which need sanding. Jun 13, 2013 | |||||||||||||||
