Andro Temper Tech ALL+

Review of Andro Temper Tech ALL+With beautiful grains on the Hinoki outer plies and the handle in natural wood color, this must surely be one of the most organic looking blades ever! Mine came in at 69 grams. The thickness is exactly 6.2mm.FH- Xiom Vega Pro 2mm. BH- Andro Hexer 2.1mm. The light weight allows for swift transitions and fast wrist action. I seem to have lots of time and there is no need to rush my shots. Surprisingly, its weight does not seriously detract from its power. The ball feel is good and there is pleasant ball feedback. The sound on hard hits goes "plack". The blade is medium rigid, power response is linear and dwell time is excellent. This blade does not do strange things! The short game and mid distance game is excellent. Far from table, I need to put in more effort. Pushes and chops are good. Blocks against topspin attacks are good. Loops and attacks are excellent! You can play and vary your spin, speed and direction with this beauty whole day long! Claims about control and pin point accuracy in returns is no mere marketing hype. It is true! In fact, it is uncanny. If you enjoy court-craft over sheer power in overcoming your opponent, this may be the one for you! It is a true all round+ blade, dedicated to fun, accuracy and tactical play. Best wishes! Sep 06, 2015 | |||

Review of Avalox P500P500 gives excellent ball feel without bad vibrations. Nice weight balance. It performs well for blocking, looping and flat hitting, close to table as well as away. I get better results and ball feel when paired with firmer tensor. Good fun because it gives both control and power. Inexpensive too!Aug 17, 2016 | |||

Review of Butterfly Petr KorbelMy blade is marked "made in Japan" and is 5.9 mm thick. It is paired with Xiom Omega lV Pro 2 mm both sides. I am a 2 wing all round controlled attacker. The bat sits comfortably in my hand from the moment I handled it. I can feel the position of ball contact during play. This feedback helps me to do any necessary correction. The Limba outer ply gives a certain feeling and dwell time which aids spin production. Shots are accurate in strength, length and placement. I get what I put in; no sudden, weird power surge. With consistency comes confidence!The "throw angle" suits my game and fewer shots are dumped into the net, even on flat hits. It is good on pushes, stable on blocks , good at flicks, excellent for loops, drives and smashes. At my amateur club level, the power is more than sufficient, even away from the table. I am pleased with the blade performance and my skills have improved! Jun 11, 2019 | |||

Friendship/729 F-1

Review of Friendship/729 F-1This is interesting. It is a 7 ply composite but it feels like an all wood. The ball impact sensation is quite pleasant and accurate. It is less than 6mm thick, so there's flex, adding to the speed and spin on hard shots and loops. I put Donic Barracuda on FH and Hexer Duro on BH and the construction and setup is an invitation to topspin and more topspin!!! Even with my limited skills, I get the feeling like there's so much more this blade wants to give,,,,unfortunately, I am not Wang LiQin!May 16, 2013 | |||

Yasaka Gatien Extra

Review of Yasaka Gatien ExtraAn update..Yes, it is true...I have 2 YE. One is softish, all round in character. It plays sweet, loops easily and gives great consistency. The soft feel is almost addictive! Power flows easily when paired with tensors. The second one has a Yasaka metal tag on the handle end, with JTTAA chop. This one feels stiff. The throw is different, straighter? and not as consistent, even when paired with the same set of rubbers. I dislike this one.Aug 06, 2013 | |||

Yinhe Venus V-12

Review of Yinhe Venus V-12An excellent attacking, do-it-all blade, It has heaps of control for delicate shots and short balls and more than enough power when the ball has to be put away! At 6mm thick, (my blade weighs 91 grams), it gives good feedback without nasty, 'clunky' vibrations. I think this comes from the combination of the outer hinoki plies and the carbokev layers. The carbokev also adds rigidity-just rigid enough to make great blocks and powerful smashes. I don't feel there is flex on hard shots; I like it this way. I like my blade to give a linear response without sudden sharp increase in oomph! Paired with H2 Neo 2.1mm black on FH and Xiom Vega Asia 2mm on BH, the whole setup is weight balanced and capable of all offensive shots. I use a "Chinese style" FH and this combination works for me. If you like an even more rigid blade, then Venus V13 blade (thickness 6.5mm) will fit the requirement. However, V13 gives a more muted ball feel. Between the two variants, I prefer the feel of the V12! The quality of the hinoki plies looks excellent. The handle is beefy enough and not skinny. I had to sand off some sharp edges at the neck for added comfort. Its performance to price ratio is excellent!Feb 14, 2013 | |||

Yinhe Venus V-14 PRO
|
||
Review of Yinhe Venus V-14 PROI started using V14 Pro four months ago, putting aside a made in Japan OFF- 5ply all wood. My goal: more speed and penetration power on attacking shots. I found what I was looking for. Offensive shots on both wings, near table or away, now carry a deadly sting and my performance and enjoyment increased. The department that gained most is my BH attack. Happily, the dwell time and and control are very good. Ball contact feel is crisp and pleasant. I can judge my shot quality and ball length accurately. I use Nittaku Fastarc G1 on FH and Butterfly Rozena on BH. I am amazed by such great quality.Mar 21, 2021 | |||
