(No Brand) Maestro-Lithuania
|
||||||||||||
Review of (No Brand) Maestro-LithuaniaI use this blade with Tibhar 1Q-XD 2.2 mm at FH and SpinLord Tiger 2.1 mm at BH. This particular Maestro model is OFF, and weights about 95 g. It has a size of just 150 x 152 mm (small than usual blades) what helps keeping the weight of the mounted racket at 182 g.It is very stable, little vibration, VG for topspin, VG for blocking, VG- spin at serve (will improve as rubbers get a bit older and softer), VG control, excellent AN handle. To summarize, it is a beautiful blade with very good playing characteristics. Get one soon if you can, suited to your playing style, before they become known in the TT community and become a rare finding... Oct 26, 2014 | |||||||||||||

Adidas Avenger Carbon
|
||||||||||||
Review of Adidas Avenger CarbonAdidas AvCa has one of the best FL handles I know off, very well suited for medium-large hands. Mine has 89 g and is not top heavy -- on the contrary, it is quite well balanced. The sweet spot is not very large and the blade has a bit of vibration. With Adidas P7 (BH) and Joola Rhyhzm (FH) (I sometimes switch the sides, rubbers are not very different...) provides for a very good bat, but not exceptional. It has Very good control, blocks and near the table attacks; away from the table it loses some power (at least with the aforementioned rubbers). Although its workmanship is of very high quality, Adidas AvCa is a bit overpriced IMHO.May 25, 2015 | |||||||||||||

CTTA Super League Silver Power
|
||||||||||||||
Review of CTTA Super League Silver PowerGot mine assembled with BH and FH Juic Varites max (high tension rubber) from a Swedish shop, so I try to extract blade characteristics from the overall combo.It is a very well crafted and finished blade, top quality wood, a bit to the stiff (7.0 mm thick) has a strange but nice "singing" sound, little vibration. With the Juic Varites is an All+ combo. Needs some energy to top-spin (but top-spin lands on the table) and lacks some power in smashes. Control and chopping are good. Recommended for an allround player. Just as a measure of comparison, I add that I have been training both with that and with a 729 C-3+H3 Neo+H3 Neo racket. Overall I prefer this C-3 one (an Off- combo IMHO): attacking is easier, but with a little loss in control wrt to CTT silver power combo. Sep 29, 2013 | |||||||||||||||

DHS Hurricane Bo 2 (Hurricane B2)
|
||||||||||||
Review of DHS Hurricane Bo 2 (Hurricane B2)Playing with DHS B2 for a couple weeks now, 15~20 h practice in training and tournament competition in total, so I've already a fair opinion on it. Weight is 90 g. Glued Xiom Vega Pro max FH, Vega Euro max BH, brand new rubbers. Don't ever played with DHS Long 5, so cannot compare DHS L5 with DHS B2. First, DHS B2 is not a OFF+ blade; for me, it is in the OFF- range (near OFF, perhaps -- I have a Vega Pro on a Joola Wing Passion Extreme, which is clearly a OFF+ blade, and there is a huge difference in relation with the DHS B2); It took me a few training sessions to adjust BH push to pass over the net with this blade. OFF- means though that you put most attacks on the table, without going over the table. Second, this is a blade with outstanding control, not stiff, not bouncy either. Third, the blade+rubbers set keeps going better as the rubbers become "tamed" and less crisp. Now it starts to produce very good looping, all control shots (push, block, reception) are very good, but to attack from mid distance you have to put some energy in the shots. Service spin is just good, but not overwhelming. For the price it costs (around 40 USD, buying directly from China) this is a very good buy. Recommended to people used to allround blades (and play) who want to develop a "spicier" game, or to exuberant attackers who want to lay more balls on the table :-) Nevertheless, a great buy. (Extra note: some guys complained about the small handle, but I disagree; I am a 1.90 m tall guy, with a long hand, and find the B2 handle very comfortable and maneuverable, without the need of a "tape filler/protection" in the handle; and I move a lot the blade in my hand).Mar 30, 2018 | |||||||||||||

Donic Burn Aratox
|
||||||||||||
Review of Donic Burn AratoxMy blade has AN handle and weights 92g. The handle is thick (OK, for me). The area is a bit large, which increases the overall weight of the racket (190 g). I use it since about a month. It has Andro Rasant 2.2 mm FH and DHS Memo 2 2.2 mm BH.This assembly is OFF-/OFF, not AR. FH topspin - VG, with good arc and velocity. Lands easily on the table. FH smash - ball doesn't fly as an arrow (or as with my Yasaka Dynamix 17, which however smashes often off the table...), but it is enough to kill the point. Control and push/chop - Very Good; even with the agressive FH Rasant, pushes and over the table chops are easy to land. The increased weight of the assembly helps in building a solid platform to rebound the ball and absorb incoming energy and effect. Blocks - excellent, both FH and BH; despite having quite different rubbers, blocking is awesome. Perhaps the best quality of this assembly. BH topspin and lift - not as good as in FH, the arc is not so good, but in the end Memo 2 is not a Rasant ;-) Nevertheless, a more flexible blade could help here in creating nicer arcs. BH flat-ball rallies - Very Good; more than enough for keeping the rally alive until a strong BH stroke can be applied. The VG control rules in BH rallies. FH and BH flicks - the weight of the racket slows somewhat fast arm movements; so don't expect to be doing amazingly fast flicks... Regarding flex, I think it hasn't the amount of flex claimed by other reviewers: it is more the case of a low "stiffy" blade. To conclude, I don't give higher score to the blade because (mainly) of the somewhat heavy overall weight (a smaller blade area was tolerable and could alleviate the issue, as well as gymnasium training for increasing your arm power and strenght :-) ...) and the lack of more quality on BH agressive strokes. Given this, Donic Burn Aratox is a solid weapon for developing a secure-controlled-allround game. It is really a pity that it is being discontinued (mine was bought in a 35% sale).

Friendship/729 C-3
|
||||||||||||||
Review of Friendship/729 C-3Overall, what other reviewers said is my opinion.My C-3 has H3 Neo 2.2 in both BH and FH (pre-made racket bought from a Swedish shop.) It's my preferred racket at the moment. The blade has good control, OFF-, vibrates a bit with shots but not much, or in an uncomfortable way. It feels as a solid blade. The workmanship is first grade, has a nice bluish FL handle and the wood is of very good quality. A very nice and worth buy at $16~$17 in ebay. UPDATE (May-2014): I removed the rubbers to glue them into another blade and the C-3 released lots of splinters, some with a couple of cm. So this is a kind of a "disposable" blade - use only once...

JOOLA (1)

JOOLA Wing Passion Extreme
|
||||||||||||||
Review of JOOLA Wing Passion ExtremeI have two blades of this model currently in use: one has AN handle, the other has FL handle. They currently are some of my training and tournament blades.The AN blade has a Xiom Vega Pro 2.1mm at FH, and it is my best FH combo. At BH there is a Spinlord Irbis I 2.1mm, which is a quite good and affordable rubber (I think it is near Mark V, but a few points better in speed and in control; it is not a tensor). The FL blade has a Xiom Vega Japan FH and a Vega Euro BH (both 2.1 mm), and is a bit more controllable than the AN model, but the forehand loses against the Vega Pro. And the Vega Japan ages faster than the Vega Pro. In the future I probably will assemble the Joola WPE with two Vega Pro (perhaps 2mm for the BH) because this rubber matches perfectly with the blade. Both blades weight around 180 g, which is a good weight for an offensive setup. They are good for short game, have good control, push and allround/defensive game; the AN blade with Vega Pro is clearly quite better for FH top-spin and away-from-the-table game, because it gives a quite higher throw than the Vega Japan.

Palio TC6
|
||||||||||||||
Review of Palio TC6I paired the blade with Haifu BW II and Reactor Corbor rubbers (both with MAX thickness).At large, I agree with the comments of other people. The blade produces a "metallic" sound (due to the thin Ti layers?) and is quite fast. The bat is not very light because my rubbers are a bit heavy. However, I have quite a big hand and the TC6 handle is quite thin for me: so, my hand and finger always slip "into" the blade head and rubbers, and because the TC6 has a small head, the result is that I make many errors due to balls hitting my finger and also the blade border. This sole fact pushed me to abandon this setup (bye, bye TC6...). So, I reccommend TC6 only to people with medium-small hands, and advise that the reduced size of the head can have some impact in your capacity of blocking, for instance...

Sanwei F3
|
||||||||||||
Review of Sanwei F3The Sanwei F3 is (supposedly) a mimic of Btfly Timo Boll Spirit or ALC. I got my F3 by ~27 USD and very light, as asked to the seller, ~78 g, quite lighter than advertised (90 g). The finishing quality of Sanwei is as good or better than the best european or japanese brands.The F3 is being used with a Tibhar 1Q-XD in FH and a Mark V in BH, both max thickness. The combination is fast and wild, mainly at FH. It has a short dwell time, making hard to get arced top spin with FH. The FH block is hard to control, but BH block with Mark V is reasonable. The blade is good for pushing and even chopping, showing a good control in allround/defensive shots. On the good side, it is a light (170 g) easy to maneuver racket. It is a good blade for flicks, suiting a fast player with linear smash attacks. Perhaps the blade shines more with soft rubbers that improve the dwell time and control. Cannot compare with Btfly TB blades, because never used any ;-) Nov 08, 2015 | |||||||||||||

TSP Reflex 50 Award OFF Light
|
||||||||||||
Review of TSP Reflex 50 Award OFF LightGot one with AN handle. Finish of the blade is impeccable. Weight is 77 g, blade size is small, 148x152 mm. It is loaded with Yasaka Rakza 7 (forehand, attack) and Sanwei Rings Link (backhand, good control). Total weight of the racket is 165 g, I have a large hand but manage to use the thin handle: it is easy "maneuvering" the racket and the low weight helps in flicking. The combination of the polished blade surface and the porous Rakza 7 are hard to glue (Donic Vario clean failed, succeeded with Haifu Dolphin glue but in the first trial the Donic glue had already "soaked" the Rakza 7).In play, doing fast moves is easy (light bat) but you have to be very precise (small hit area). Attack is very good, block and chop are good. Overall, a blade to be highly recommended. Oct 23, 2014 | |||||||||||||
Xiom (1)

Xiom Omega Euro
|
||||||||||||
Review of Xiom Omega EuroFL handle, weights 88 g , perfect finishing, beautiful box, which even includes a simple sandpaper tool to help you finish corners.Assembled with Adidas Tenzone Ultra 2.2mm (FH) and Adidas P5 2.2mm (BH). Racket weights 185g (Adidas rubbers are a bit heavy) but remains very well balanced and seems to be lighter because it's not head-heavy. The rubbers are very similar, having enough speed and very good control (glued with one layer of regular water glue, no speed glue, no booster). Overall, the combo presents an outstanding control without losing too much speed. Is very good in all situations (short game, topspin over table, smash, push, block, even chop at 1 m from the table) only lacking a bit of speed in topspin away from the table. Clearly very good assembly for controlled attack players which use a variety of strokes. Note: this review comes after ~10 hours of training and playing in two tournaments. It will be updated if needed. Oct 14, 2015 | |||||||||||||
Yasaka (1)

Yasaka Dynamix 17
|
||||||||||||
Review of Yasaka Dynamix 17(Jan. 2014)Excellent anatomical handle, reasonable weight (~90 g), not perfectly polished (many low cost chinese blades have better finishing than Dyn 17). I am using it for only 4-5 hours, with Xiom Vega Europe MAX and Xiom Omega IV Pro MAX, but already got an idea about the beast :-) Impressions: very good blocking, good+ control (despite the low control rating usually given to this blade alone, the Xiom rubbers are very good WRT control), its an Off (not Off+) grade IMHO, very good at playing at >1m from the table, not a very high throw (also due in part to Xiom rubbers) what makes a bit difficult topspinning chopped balls, namely in the first attack. Overall, a very good blade (but not an astonishing one...). Bought in a sale at around 50$, so its a steal :-) UPDATE (May 2015): more than 1 year after the first review (which I leave unchanged) , I have a couple more notes. I use the blade sometimes when I want to produce power game, but its not my prime choice. The throw angle is quite more higher than I said in the first review (rubbers are older and more beaten now) which means the problem with this assembly is controlling the FH with Omega IV Pro near the table -- I always have to restrain power and amplitude of arm movement in order to land the ball on the table. On the other hand, it is excellent for attacking away from the table. BH top spin with Vega Euro is a very good attacking weapon. As the rubbers are a bit bouncy, underspin shots and pushes have to be taken "with care". Overall I almost keep my ratings (I added 0.1 to overall and 0.5 to control). Dyn 17 is a blade from which its is very easy to extract power game. To tame it in FH, I dare to suggest the use of a softer rubber (Soft, or FX or SF versions of some popular rubbers) instead of the Xiom Omega IV Pro max. May 25, 2015 | |||||||||||||

Yinhe Y-2
|
||||||||||||||
Review of Yinhe Y-2Mine has 89 g, so its quite heavier than the max tolerance limit stated by Galaxy (85 g).I made a "test" bat with it, with a training Haifu Whale III in FH and a 729-5 in BH (both 2.2 mm), and these were both not good choices. HWIII is too heavy, although it can load lots of spin (for a few days the rubber sweated liquid and was very sticky until it eventually dried...) and 729-5 is too low throw for me. In the end the bat has around 190 g which is too heavy for my taste (I like balsa blades ;-) ), and so perhaps the bad choice of rubbers makes me grade Y-2 lower than previous reviewers. The Y-2 weight quite higher than the tolerance is the chief reason of my disappointment. Nov 12, 2015 | |||||||||||||||

Yinhe T-11+
|
||||||||||||||
Review of Yinhe T-11+I own a T-11+ (75g weight) with Galaxy Venus max FH and 729 Focus III Snipe max BH. The overall weight is only 158 g!This review is about that particular blade+rubbers arrangement, so take it with a grain of salt. The FH arrangement is VG-, the BH only G: its difficult to block in the BH, as the dwell time is low and so the ball gets out linearly and very speedy from the F3 Snipe. The FH blocking is a bit better. The BH can be improved with a slower and softer rubber (Sanwei T-88-III for instance comes to mind). The combo does a nice balsa "ping" metallic sound when hitting, and the very low weight allows for very quick strokes. The bat is VG for hitting, for flicking, for FH topspin, and for BH flat atack. Spin in play and in serves is G (low dwell time). Due to this, overall control is only G- to G. Hitting with the T-11+ gives you the feeling that you have a springy blade (due probably to the thick balsa inner layer). In conclusion, the T-11+ plus fast Chinese rubbers is a VG combo for the price. Recommended for hitters and attackers who want to finish quickly the point. Not recommended for allround players who rely on long series of controlled moves to eventually win the point by striking a controlled attack (at the right moment) or by exhausting the opponent's patience :-) Oct 26, 2014 | |||||||||||||||

Yinhe T-8S
|
||||||||||||
Review of Yinhe T-8SMy blade has 80g, in the lower weight range. The craftsmanship and finishing are perfect and the blade is nice. It is paired with H3-NEO black max at FH, and H3-50 Soft red max at BH. It is easy to switch sides, which I often do (not to foul the opponent, just to change the game).I never used a T-8, so I can't compare T-8 and T-8s. This blade is very fast and has a "springy" feel, reminding the T-11+ (I don't know if T-8s core is balsa, but it doesn't seem: not thick ). The overall feel is dependent on the rubber. It happens this setup has a characteristic I have never felt in my large collection of rackets: in the FH side with the H3-NEO, which is an hard rubber (bought from a Chinese supplier, but it seemed original when bought...) the blade and the rubber appear to be a single entity! This means that we don't notice the ball hitting the wood after compressing the rubber to the limit: it is like the bat being a single spring entity. Strange feel... More strange is that in the BH with H3-50 Soft this effect isn't not much noticeable. So, this blade is quite sensitive to rubber hardness, providing quite different game experience. Given this, provided with arylate carbon layers, this blade is fast and is more suited for an hitter than for a top-spinner. Control is average due to the springy wood, but the setup is still controllable. Flicks and hits are very good, chops and pushes are average-to-good. Top spin is a bit flat (not much arc), throw angle is average. It is recommended for an attacker-hitter. This is a setup I'm keeping mounted and in my bag just "to have fun" and play some sets when training. It is quite different from my other setups, so playing with it provides a quite unique experience and helps to train and mature the "adaptive behavior" all TT players need to have in order to cope and succeed with different opponents and styles of play. Perhaps the pairing of T-8s with softer European rubbers provides a different game experience... May 25, 2016 | |||||||||||||
