Review of Butterfly Outerforce ALCThis is the worst Butterfly blade with ALC carbon that I have tried. If I had been given this blade without the Butterfly emblem to play with, I would have thought that it was a cheap Chinese blade for beginners costing $10. The blade has a low ball lag when hitting, low speed from the 2nd and 3rd zones from the table when hitting the ball, poor ball control when hitting different zones of the blade, in short - this is the worst model of all ALC blades and cheaper branded manufacturers of other companies.

Review of Loki Kirin K9I bought this blade in AliExpress promotion for $15.98 just out of curiosity. The result of checking this blade: (rubbers DHS Hurricane 8-80 hard and Loki Rxton 9) this is a simple blade, an exact copy of the blades of old models Yasaka and Friendship /729 made of walnut with carbon, and those players who are used to playing fast arc arylate carbon blades such as Yinhe V-14 Pro or Yinhe Pro-05 or Viscaria, then this blade will be straight and slow for accurate and aggressive attack and counter attack.

Review of Palio ENERGY 03This is the best table tennis blade among budget blades. I bought this Palio for $ 10 in AliExpress. I installed (glued) the Friendship / 729 Battle 2 Gold 40 ° rubber on the open side, and glued the Yinhe Jupiter 3 Euro 39 ° rubber to the closed side. This racket allows you to play a universal game with a hit on the ball with a lot of spin and high control when hitting the ball with a lot of spin from the opponent, from any zone from the table (even from the 3rd zone far, carbon helps). The weight of the base is 87 grams. In the promotion in AliExpress, the racket assembled with these rubbers costs only $ 28.7 (seller's discount plus store discount)!!

Review of Palio ENERGY 06I used to play Palio-03. I decided to buy Palio-06 and was very disappointed with this blade. Palio-06 blade is much worse than Palio-03 blade in all characteristics. Palio Energy 03 blade is the most successful model of Palio company for a very small price of 10$.

Review of Yasaka Ma Lin Extra SpecialExcellent attacking classic base with high control when hitting in different places of the racket. High quality of manufacture and this base is not afraid of hitting the table. It is necessary to install only soft and medium medium rubbers on this base to increase the arc of the ball flight, and tensor rubbers would be even better. This base is designed for the first and second zones. From the third zone, you need a very fast rubber or a lot of effort to hit the ball. On this base I installed rubbers of the new versions Loki Kirin K3 and Loki Kirin K5.

Review of Yasaka Extra Offensive 7 PowerThis blade now plays much better with 40+ balls than it used to with 40 celluloid balls. This walnut carbon blade plays well only with soft and medium rubbers with a sponge thickness of 2.2 and 2.3. I glued STIGA DNA rubbers to this blade and am very happy with the racket, now I win against those opponents who I used to lose to. The price of the blade is not expensive $ 65 - $ 75.

Review of Yinhe Venus V-14 PROI am an average player. I have tried to play with arylate-carbon bases from many manufacturers and with a price from $ 20 to $ 45. But when I bought the Yinhe V-14 Pro base, I realized that I finally found a base that suits me perfectly for my universal European style of play, and with a very low cost of only about $ 30. For the Yinhe V-14 Pro, I bought Loki Rxton 9 black rubbers for the open side and Friendship / 729 Battle 2 Gold red rubbers for the closed side. Now I calmly and without mistakes when hitting the ball play with opponents with smooth rubbers and with players with pimples (rubbers with pimples). When I played Yinhe Pro-05 not long ago, I really didn’t like it because of its poor control and high arc of the ball flight and poor blocking of opponent’s attacks, but the Yinhe V-14 Pro does everything perfectly.

Review of Yinhe 970 XX - CI really liked this Yinhe 970 base, and the price is not high ($52 AliExpress sale during promotion).
