Review of Butterfly Oh Sang EunThis blade have a HUGE amount of control and the response is very consistent. It may lack a bit in speed but other than that it's 100% perfect for a loop/drive game. Also, I have never tried a blade with this much feeling.Mar 15, 2010 | |||||||||||||||

Donic Defplay Senso

Review of Donic Defplay SensoI just love this blade, it's the one that I always comes back to when I've tried other defensive blades. For pure chopping there are better blades but the Defplay brings so much more than just chopping ability. Probably one of the things I like most about it is the maneuverability when playing close to the table which most other defensive blades lack. It blocks and chop-blocks really well! The offense is also very good for a defensive blade, especially at the table and it's very easy to twiddle. It's very light but still with a very good balance.I can only complain about one thing and that's the thin handle, but that can be fixed by adding some soft-grip or by changing the "grip-blocks". I've changed the grip-blocks to Persson Power AR blocks on one of my Defplays and that worked really well, that's actually the blade I'm playing with at the moment. To sum it up I would call this blade the "allrounder" of defensive blades, it's simply nothing it can't do well! Nov 25, 2013 | |||||||||||||||

Review of TSP Victas Koji MatsushitaI've been using this blade the last couple of weeks and compared to my beloved Defplay it's a completely different beast. It's a very flexy and soft blade, not as flexy as Defplay but compared to the average it's definitely a flexy blade.Chopping is amazing and the throw is very low. The dwell-time is very good, if you're using pips with this blade though you gotta use them actively, even if using OX. Personally I play with Dornenglanz OX and have a very allround game with my BH, mostly chops and chop-blocks but also some lifts/attack. Blocks harder hits quite well also. For my BH this is definitely the best blade I have tried yet. The downside to this blade is the FH feeling, it doesn't loop nearly as well as the Defplay and the feeling is quite dead and numb. It's not that it's slow but it's just a dead feeling without much feedback. This is of course a matter of personal preference but I think that most people won't like the feeling on the FH. I do not agree that it matches well with softer rubbers, personally I think it becomes too mushy. At least if you're a powerlooper you need something harder on there, I even felt that Rakza 7 was on the soft side for this blade. Still very very good control and blocking is a breeze. To sum it up in one word: CONTROL Nov 25, 2013 | |||||||||||||||

Review of TSP Balsa 2.5 DEF FitterI've always liked thin blades and this is no exception, it vibrates quite a bit and this is of course a matter of taste if you like that or not but it gives you tremendous feedback, you always know exactly where you've hit the ball. On passive strokes it's really really slow but when you step on the gas the flex and the balsa give it a little bit of a kick, don't get me wrong though as it's still a slow blade so don't expect any rockets for free. Fairly good looping blade and it's the best I've tried for chopping, the control is huge.Control is what this blade is made for and control is what it brings. Mar 08, 2016 | |||||||||||||||
