JOOLA Fejer-Konnerth Light

||||||||||||
Review of JOOLA Fejer-Konnerth LightLight and slow, as advertised (All). The anatomic handle is very comfortable. Easy to block, not enough speed to loop/drive (at least not without speed glue). Recommended for beginners, though it is a bit expensive for a beginners blade.May 15, 2009 | |||||||||||||

KTL (LKT) Gun

||||||||||
Review of KTL (LKT) GunThis is an amazingly low priced blade for such a fine product. Cypress (Hinoki) outer plies and soft inner plies give it a wonderful bounce with a soft feel. Blends beautifully with MarkV rubbers (or others with similar sponge hardness); the spin/speed on my old MarkV rubbers went up by a notch when glued to this blade. The cover rates it as Off-, but it is much faster than that, possibly Off/Off+. You may have to customize the handle to suit your palm since it is somewhat thin and the blade tends to rotate in your palm on direct hits. Also advisable to put lighter rubbers to reduce imbalance. Looping/driving from mid-distance produces just that "right" amount of flex from the softer inner plies, giving it a great feel. Worksmanship is top-notch, this is probably LKT's answer to Nittaku's Tenaly. Backhand driving speed is amplified by the blade design. Over-the table play can be awkward. Overall, if you stand back a few feet and play, this blade is for you.May 05, 2008 | |||||||||||

Yasaka Gatien Extra 3D

Review of Yasaka Gatien Extra 3DHave had this blade for a while now, it does'nt seem to excel at anything. Construction is good quality, handle could be larger. I've tried a variety of rubbers on this, such as Yasaka MarkV, Rapid, Juic Elite Ultima but the speed is rather slow. Brush loops are difficult close to the table, but driving from a few feet away seems to be better. It seems this blade works better with harder sponged rubbers. Blocks are easy. Rated Off-, feels more like an All+. No noticeable hang time. Have'nt found the ideal rubber combo for this yet, maybe very soft sponges work just as well. Would suit an intermediate level player.06/2008: Tried Mendo MP (un-speed-glued) on this blade yesterday, works great! As suspected, medium-hard sponges seem to work much better on this blade. In fact, of all the blades I put the MendoMP on (which were stiffer or faster), this blade gave the best results. Looping close to or far away became so much easier, and maybe related to the throw angle which went up by a notch, provided all the gears, and lots of control. Every rubber goes best on certain blades, just need to find the right one. Updating my rating to 8 based on this. Jun 14, 2008 | |||||||||||||||
