Review of Andro Super Core Cell ALL+This is quite slow blade with flex and good feeling when touching ball. The blade finishing is very good as andro equip it with edge seal which protects blade from denting it. I have used it for almost 1 year and very happy until realizing that I need more speed for my play. Very good blade for allround and spin game, but it demands your power for finishing point. If pair it with Chinese hard rubber, it feels dead and slow. It will shine if you pair it with medium hard tensor rubber as it will give additional spin due to its flex.
My rating:
- Speed = 7.5
- Control = 8.5
- Stiffness = some flex
- Hardness = medium soft
- Throw angle = high
Updated 5/1/2013:
This blade has the same flex as my yinhe W6, a very good blade for looping. But with more soft feeling. For control, it's not as good as W6 even though it's slower.

Review of Donic Dima SawTec ARBy using frequency and effective stiffness calculation. I can do an estimation that this blade:
1. has about the same speed as 8mm 1ply hinoki but half of its stiffness.
2. has 65% of Schlager carbon speed and 17% of its stiffness.

Review of Giant Dragon Fiberenergy KevlarA stable blade for blocking and counterloop due to its thick balsa and kevlar layer which absorb unwanted vibration. When I put control oriented rubber on it, I can return most smash with good control. It also provide control when smashing and loopdrive. But you need to practice more to loop.

Review of KTL (LKT) Lord of the SpeedThis is the fastest blade I ever tried. To slow it down and gain control, I put slow rubber like LKT XT on it. Even though it's fast, it still give good feedback on stroke, since carbon layer is lay on core veneer.

Review of Xiom Extreme STheoretically, stiff blade give better control than a flex blade. Medium hardness blade gives longer dwell time for ball feeling than a hard blade. And those two characteristics are true for Extreme S. It has enough dwell time and very good control for ball placement. Plus it is an OFF+ blade. Also provides easy block for those who like to block. I'm still comparing this blade with my other blades such as yinhe qiu yike rosewood, Y-13 and W-6. I'll update my review if there's anything new.

Review of Yinhe W-6I've used W6 for about 6 months. This blade is so good for looping and flicking backspin ball. Its flex works for the purpose. But, beware of its high throw. You need to close blade angle, especially during counterlooping. If compared with my previous blade Andro super core cell all+, I would rate this blade as OFF-. It is speedier, harder but with same flex.

Review of Yinhe Qiu Yike RosewoodIf I compare with yinhe T7, this one is more flex though it feels harder. But still fell softer than TSP Hino Power. You can still feel the ball and there is little vibration for feeback, but not like yinhe W6 which vibrates more. So it's good. For spin and drive it's very controllable. speed it's almost the same with T7. The finishing is top notch.
Update: compared it with Xiom Extreme S, dwell time is shorter. I think it is due to top ply. Extreme S use limba, while this blade use Rosewood. I'll try pair it with chinese tacky rubber and see whether it can compensate its short dwell time.
