Review of Avalox P500My blade is 88g and this blade does not feel it's lacking in speed at all with medium fast rubbers and more than enough speed to hit the offensive department with ease. Very good looping and topspining classic blade. Dwell is high on this one resulting high control and flex when needed. the sweetspot is also very good.

Review of Avalox Blue Thunder 777 (BT777)Plays bit like clipper cr with slightly harder feel. High spin blade and very well made. Goes well with chiness or euro rubbers .

Review of Butterfly Michael Mazewell built blade, you can confidently play with this one, wont let you down. comparing with tbs, tbalc, mmaze is slightly slower on the same weght band, better for driving and smashing but slightly weaker for looping. its about compromise, you cant have everything in life.

Review of Butterfly Timo Boll Spirita well built blade as expected. my blade is 86g st, and it is still fast but not too fast. nice feel and touch. it plays bit like all wood blade in the short game but when you push it has burst of power and you can feel the carbon. I think why many people like this blade is you can perform all kind of strokes and does it very well. the blade is known for looping, I think its ok but shockingly I can confirm tibhar stratus power wood is much easier with even higher arc with same rubber test, tspw also plays similar to tbs but it is a touch slow I think very hard to tell. overall tbs is the best blade in my collection of composite blade that I have.

Review of Butterfly Innerforce ZLFVery light blade evenly balance, I would say weight is more concentrated in the center with heavy rubber . Blade has excellent control and speed not too fast, the materials used on the blade does favour to put alot more spin as evident with louder click when looping. This has been tested with same rubber different blade happen to be a butfly alc aswell. The feel of the blade is medium but feels softer when spining also you can feel the flex with big strokes evidently the curve that it produces is amazing. The blade goes well with medium rubbers , but I suppose its individuals choice. I can't find any thing bad about this blade , honestly you can do pretty much everything if you a spin attacker, power smashers look somewhere else. Compareing with tbs I would say they both are looping monsters but with different feel, thus medium hard or medium feel. I would say both innerforce zlf and tbs are in a class of their own. I like both.

Review of Butterfly ViscariaThe very best of all the alc blade out there. Simply no replacement for this legendary blade. My blade is 85g. I prefer this over my tbs and tb alc. It's just better at everything by a small margin, just got that edge. Very crisp on all shots .has slight softer feel but still medium hard. definitely more precise feel of catching the ball on every loop. Hence high dwell. Throw is also medium to high similar to tbs may be better. Tb alc has slightly lower throw than viscaria and tbs with the same rubber test. Only advantage tb alc is it has better balance of weight. Viscaria for me is worth every penny.Must try blade , I have over 30 top end blade and this is simply the best along side with xiom vega pro blade, yes unknown but true (xiom)

Review of Butterfly Zhang Jike ALCWonderful blade. A unique alc butterfly blade not like other in its class . Comparing with viscaria, boll alc , spirit alc. Zjk alc has for sure a softer touch lots more control more dwell and feeling. at 92g zjk dont lack top end speed. The blade is a spin monster in the right hands , throw angle is medium-high with nittaku G1 fh and xiom vega pro bh. All the blade compared here are all good in their own ways the difference is so small yet zjk i found the easiest one to use and get same result. Unfortunately this blade is due to go out of production soon .

Review of DHS Power-G PG7this is power house,full of controll and spin, very fast with extra high throw. pg7 is a monster away the table with crazy loops it travels like a rocket and it lands. not recomended for beginners. one thing i dont like is the sound of the the blade, pretty sharp and solid? is it the baloonet technology? or is it just me. overall too good not to use it, if you are a attacker.

Review of DHS Hurricane Long 3One of the fastest all wood blade I played with. Apart from the control which is equally match which some current blades also have, hl3 has tones of spin to keep the ball in the table rather than over shooting unlike other off+ blades I have tried in the past. Hl3 suit both Chinese and European rubbers. Super fast rubber are not advisable unless you want to lounch a rocket. Despite a fast blade, the short game is not effected at all for me . The blade have gears for definite. This blade excells in topspin game due to high throw and flex , it's true the sweet spot is Hugh which is only seen before in composite blades. My blade is 92g and the build quality is very high with slightly better handle on flared version compared to pg7 alikes.

Review of DHS Hurricane 301My blade is 89g thickness 5.7mm fl handle.
Miracle blade for the money you pay. Plays every bit like hl3 with wood feel on every stroke, huge sweet spot again. So it makes me wonder why the hell I spend extra money on the other ones from the same brand. A super blade from dhs. It's fast I would say off to maybe off+ . But all the shot lands on the table regardless of speed as long as you play offensive spin game. No gimmick try and find out your self and tell me.

Review of DHS Hurricane 301TSimply wow. Felt better than hl5 ,maybe touch slower but very aggressive blade with extra high control. Ticks all the boxes for a spin oriented player . Looping is easy as anything. I am able to smash confidently aswell which is a usually hard to do well on a looping blade. The handle is a big improvement from the original h301, it much better and more of a European type on H301T . I Have 301 and this 301T is my new favourite, the build quality is very good too.

Review of DHS Power-G PG5Pg5 and pg5x same blade all depending on weight . Extra thickness on pg5x makes no difference , 0.01mm just don't see how this makes any difference. Anyway this blade is best thing dhs done for the people, they gave something special to the everage people. Very affordable. We are getting ripped of by the other big brands for sure.

Review of DHS Hurricane Long 5So this is review for 91g St handle. Fh provincial h3 neo 38 degree , bh gold arc 5. Both tuned perfectly 3 layers,Total weight 194g. Firstly this is one great blade for those who know how to use the gears that this blade have to offer. I seen mix reviews about blade is too fast or too slow, I can confirm it is solid off at high end shots and can be played like all+ if you want it to depending on your skill level. The ST handle is one of the best I have tried, the handle is on the large side but just right, I can do those bh shots better than with flare handle which I was struggling abit before, but it's individual preference some are fine with any given handle. The weight is slightly towards the head but lightly which is a good thing for me. This blade reminds me of tibhar power wood with added flexy carbon and bit more speed so hl5 is woody feel in nature. Hl5 is one of the best blade for looper, I even managed to chop with it. Infact anyone who can spin well should try this.

Review of DHS PG7 HPg7 H plays every bit like original pg7 with slightly softer touch due to outer ply being hinoki ,but the feeling is still medium hard. The handle is much improved in size and its decent now, not the small handle the first generation we seen before on pg series. This blade has unbelievable control and is very consistent on every shot, high throw blade and very spiny ,its a pleasure to play with, suits medium to hard rubbers . One of the very best blade of the new power G series. Super value for money, high quality too.

Review of Donic Waldner Diablo SensoNice handle, blade seem to have good balance towards the handle. A good blade for intermediate to advance level. Nice sweat spot given by glassfibre also feels very woody. You can play aggressive with fast rubbers . Overall excellent value for money , another fine blade for looping with control.

Review of Donic Waldner Ultra Senso Carbon JO ShapeFirst carbon blade that I played with ,which actually has proper woody feel and high throw angle In one also impressive control for its class. Definitely got good flex when looping and topspining. The blade is fast I would say solid off, but not super fast. Suits all type of rubber . Jo shape has the best handle for switching fh to bh almost automatic st or flared. The blade is not for novices as it needs decent technic to get the best out. Definitely one of the best blade that donic has ever produced for loopers.

Review of Donic Waldner Offensive 2016Apart from the blade head shape which is a quiet unique and can be abit wierd, which apparently add some dynamics to your shot. If you can live with that than your good. So the conclusion is its a deal of the century. One heck of a blade, not slow at all ,its loaded with control and speed . Spin generated is extra high with a sweet spot of 7ply blade . Yes I am not getting paid to boast about this product, hell no. Its just too good and you don't need to spend £150+. I really should get paid for testing these blade, never mind I am passion driven .

Review of Donic Ovtcharov Original Senso CarbonUnique blade . Carbon blade with all the advantages of all wood blade, there carbon is very thin so the blade maintains high flex and feel. So it feels like a very good wood blade with big sweetspot able to to block very well. The result is high throw blade with high dwell . So it doesn't feel like full on carbon blade but the benefits are there , no extreme speed from carbon which make this blade in the category Off. This blade tends to be heavy but the headsize is slightly smaller resulting good few grams rubber cut off, so blade weight is slighty compensated as a result. The quality of blade is high, I can say it much better than some high end butterfly blades at a fraction of the cost.

Review of Donic Persson Power Carbon Senso V1Very good blade. Exceed all my expectations, compared to donic ovtcharov original carbon senso , this one plays and feels very identical but perrson carbon has slightly harder feel and lighter also in general. High throw blade which has nice control and touch. One of the best wood to carbon transit blade, you won't miss too much of the wood blade feeling nor you would miss the advantages carbon , the carbon is very thin so the effects are so. Overall too good not to have in my collection.

Review of JOOLA Rossi Fire 07as mention by other people this is a very good all wood 7ply blade by joola. this blade is really good on all offensive play aswell as close to the table play, very easy to loop. it has some flex but not super flex its still is stiff its about 5.9mm-6.0mm thick. this blade does play bit like butterfly tbs, but rossi fire is bit slower and has less feel than tbs. also tbs is better at blocks and loops are little aggressive with tbs. joola rossi fire play very identical to some of my blades such as xiom diva and tibhar stratus power wood. overall rossi fire is an exceptional loopers blade. another must keep, no disapoinments for me.

Review of Mizuno Fortius FTMagical performance, bit on the heavy side around 93g in average weight. Blade is a superior quality and is a master piece to play with. It's not clipper clone in fact far better in every way with more speed. Not many left in the globe, so I bought few.

Review of Nittaku AcousticThe best all wood blade that i have ever played with . The blade has very high control ,speed and dwell. Very easy to loop excellent flex when required. Feeling is unbelievable 2nd to none. The blade is not hard it feels very close to btfly viscaria . Very similar with medium feel. You can do any shoot with acoustic. By the way acoustic has unique blade sound whilst playing hard, really nice. Looking closely all around the blade ply, I can see all 5 ply is jointless and maybe that why it's so unique. Overall too good for all wood blade feels there is carbon inside due to its explosive reserve of power when required. Only downside is the original acoustic has small handle which most people don't like but you can get use to it, or add little tape for grip. Blade is a little head heavy so 9.9/10 . Apparently you now can get large handle .

Review of Nittaku Acoustic Large HandleAn upgraded version of the original and I believe it is better. The original blade is head heavy slightly more than normal hence you have to be careful of selecting heavy rubbers also had smaller handle which needed extra tape. However the LG handle is a decent size for average person and also the overall weight balance has largely improved which mean I can put those heavy rubbers like tenderly 05 etc and still feels light.
Anyway going to the performance of this blade it is as good as original if not better. This blade is made for loppers, very high dwell,spin ,control, flex.
This blade is not slow has got lot of power when you need it. Edit after playing with new one for few months. This one is better than original also i think its still better than carbon version which has less arc and difficult to land shots . All wood acoustic Large handle is the best all the way , blade has lots of power who needs carbon!

Review of Nittaku BarwellOne the best all wood blade out there. My 2nd favourite after nittaku acoustic. These two blade are similar in performance but slightly different such as barwell has touch lower throw than acoustic still very high though, but barwell makes up with little speed and better blocking. Acoustic has a slightly better control. Barwell is another do it all blade, I like better than barwell fleet which feels hard and too stiff for my liking.

Review of Nittaku ViolinBuild quality is as expected top notch.
Comparing with nittaku acoustic and barwell, with same rubber and same blade weight 88g.
Speed: Barwell >acoustic >violin#
Control: acoustic >violin >barwell #
Flex : acoustic >violin >barwell #
Blocking: barwell >acoustic >violin #
Agressive topspin: acoustic >barwell >violin #
Arc: acoustic >violin >barwell (all similar)#
Best overall performance : Acoustic >barwell >violin down by couple of notch. #
Acoustic and barwell are very close on performance and play, has medium feel and feel very alive on all strokes dwell and superior catch is a instant feel when playing Agressive. Violin is not the same, it is slower by couple of notch the feel is soft and is less Agressive than other two. It's for all round play with high spin. Still highly recommended .

Review of Nittaku Barwell FleetSpin machine! This blade is amazing it has so much feel for a composite blade, more than some of my all wood favourites. Not for novice even some experience players, if you play with barwell fleet first time you probably won't like that much , but play it again and give it some time and you will discover things that you can do with this blade is almost insane. It's true you can play slow to an explosive game in a instant and the other way round. High throw blade with lots of gears , but block stays low and fast and thats strange but lethal combo i think usually you need two different blade for that wow! High quality product 10/10 One needs to get use to the plys and behaviour of barwell fleet because it's different if your coming from soft or medium hardness blades. But the transition is worth it. That's why some hate BF and some love Barwell fleet.

Review of Nittaku Acoustic Carbon Outer Large HandleNot for novices you need to give this blade few sessions before discovering it's full potential, a worthy upgrade from the original acoustic all wood which is in class of its own. The carbon versions has upgraded all the small short fall of the original and made this carbon version a beast of a blade.
A little harder feel but nothing lacking for the plastic ball. Spin ,control, feel, touch still all there with extra speed, blocking is the best.

Review of Sanwei FrosterThis blade very good depending what weight it is. I seen from 86-96g. Mine is 96g ideally around 90g is nice. Blade has flex which I thought won't due to weight and the hardness, but surprisingly it is able to everything very well especially offensive topspin loop attack. The blade plays all+ to off+ definitely not a slow blade. And yes very high control the blocking is also too good , the feel is hardish with medium sponge rubbers,but feed back is nice too. I would of given much higher score but the weight variation is at either too light or too heavy. No one seem to have manufacturer recommended weight . Edit short game is not so great

Review of Sanwei F3 ProGood blade,you pretty much can achieve most shots and it's decent. I just can't live with frying pan effect on every shot clonk clonk, if you can live with that than it's a great blade actually.

Review of Stiga Clippergood all wood classic blade, best works well with medium soft to midium rubbers. i use nitaku fastarc both side, does everything well. excellent for looping. balance of weight is not as good as some modern blade, hence try to use light rubbers at least one side. overall still a good blade. fit well in my collection but i must say blade throw is a bit lower than other ones i have, thats testing with same rubbers.

Review of Stiga Offensive Classic (OC)this blade is not slow at all, unless you use very slow rubbers . with with descent speed rubbers the blade feels off- . the blade is very thin around 5.4mm hence good flex noticeable on big strokes also high throw,very easy to play topspin and loop game. mind you the blade does come with good vibrations bit more than your regular blade which some of us like and some don't . no real bad point about this blade that I can find at the moment, seems to play everything ok.

Review of Stiga Ebenholz NCT V (5)Famous blade maybe of the wood which is used. But the blade is very hard to control on short game , sudden bounce will pop the ball up . I think due it's very hard outer ebony ply, unpredictable and annoying . I think you can get use to it over time how to keep it down.
The blade excels in pure spin attack offensive play. Looping is excellent on fh but can't say same for bh seems more effort needed to achieve what I usually do with ease. Maybe need elite hands to control this one.

Review of Stiga Rosewood NCT VIIRosewood can vary alot on weight which also determines how it plays etc. This review is for srw nct7 weight 87g thickness 6.1mm straight handle. So another great blade with really good feel and high control . This one feels special at top spin , loops and counter looping. In fact it's above average for all other types of play. Overall feeling is not so hard and has a great flex when needed. The throw is beautiful I would say medium to high, and the ball tregectory is perfect just land on the last 20% of the table all the time. The blade is a slightly head heavy with max rubber on , a bit like timo Boll spirit but this actually packs power to your shot especially topspin , it becomes more aggressive due to that weight. Overall one the best 7 ply all wood I have played with.
However never liked the heavy ones over 95g too stiff and too much power and the control not too good.

Review of Stiga Clipper CybershapeThe cybershape shape plays every bit like the classic clipper wood. The new shape adds a little dimension to experiment with. So cybershape clipper provides a little extra stability and control, also slight more power on the plus side. Flex is still good as original if not better , very easy to generate crazy spin as you would expect from clipper wood. Only minus is its slightly head heavy but you kind of forget during play because it not too head heavy, infact for those who used stiga blades its actually feel like wrb (hollow handle) version without the handle actually being hollow on the cybershape. Overall excellent blade with engineered shape that really makes that little difference in your shot and i found it quite noticeable when testing with regular shape clipper wood , i really like both shapes and i think they have their plus and minus. But still great.

Review of Tibhar Stratus Power Woodexcellent all wood blade, mine is 90g, but the blade is so well balanced it feels like i am playing with much lighter blade around 80g. i usually play with composite blade and can tell you its easy to adapt to this due its good speed, its off blade for sure. blade has very good throw and dwell time, making it good for loopers, actually you can perform everything pretty much including chop. highly recomended if you are thinking of useing wood blade for modern offensive game.

Review of Tibhar CuriousThis blade is underrated and no one seem to heard or wants to know about it. Curious is the right name. This review might be late to save this beast of a blade as news of being said to be discontinued. The st handle is one the best comparable to btf timo Boll alc square handle. The speed and flex is really good , catapult effect is super, definite off blade with good balance and high control and feel. Comparable to nittaku accoustic, and stiga clipper cr maybe slightly faster than both. Suits well with medium hard rubber or even hard rubber.

Review of Tibhar Stratus Samsonov CarbonGreat blade. Compared stratus powerwood, the Kevlar carbon version is 3x more expensive, but it can be justified after trying the carbon version, I can tell for definite it's a upgrade from powerwood for sure. Speed is just a touch faster But other aspects such as control ,sweetspot , spin, flex are all better . Best thing it feels less hard and more softer than powerwood. The arc is same as powerwood. Anatomic handle is Great, this blade is looper best friend, or someone who likes to spin, lots of dwell aswell.

Review of Tibhar Samsonov Force ProBlade is 91g thickness 6.1mm flare. Solid off with perfect speed spin and control ratio. Well balanced does not feel head heavy. The handle is nice but I felt the handle is abit shorter than other blades that I have or maybe I have large hand, I can live with it I guess. I own many blade but I am gonna have give it to tibhar for it's dedication on quality of the blades, 2nd to none, no short cuts as I seen some reputable brand do these days, example veneer extra joint of different layers of the blade , need an expert eye to spot this. This a pleasure to own, excells on aggressive topspin game fh and bh . No bad points or weakness found so far. Tibhar don't stop making this blade. And yes I am not getting paid to write this review, it's damn too good not to write one.

Review of Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro Black EditionGood quality Blade, well made and many people Will like what the blade offers. Not exactly stiga clipper but some qualities are there, I prefer the tibhar force pro over this one due to extra flex and aggressiveness that the force pro have. The black addition has maybe slightly better handle and little bit more control on some shots.

Review of Tibhar Shang Kun Hybrid ACOne of the most easiest blade to execute high end shots, very high control and precision, topspin felt natural with this blade. My game has gone up a few gears since using for a month, sk is in the same level as butterfly inner layer alc, sk has abit more flex at lower gear than btfly . Inner layer is slightly stiffer however both blade on high gear behave very similar almost identical . There is more solid feel on btfly inner layer alc on high gear than sk but only marginal difference. Both are amazing blade ,very hard for me to decide which to be my main.

Review of TSP Balsa Plus 6.5this is the original balsa 6.5mm, i have played with newer versions such as the fitter range and the black handle also the latest version looks like the same blade with different prints. let me tell none of the newer version will never beat the classic version which has more feel especially the springy and dwelly feeling. i dont understand why tsp had to do that. however about the balsa plus 6.5mm it is a blade unless u play with u wont understand, its is well balanced very light, spining the ball is easy and tend to stay on the bat for longer as if the ball sink quiet deep into the cross cut spring balsa for that extra bit, amazing. you can use soft to hard rubbers no problem. only thing the blade is a bit thick but has one of the best handle.

Review of Xiom V1i have stradivarius 88g and now i am useing v1 86g. on a fair test both were put with max vega pro both sides. i found v1 touch faster. on everything else i can not seperate theses two blades, v1 has slightly harder feel. i t.hink weght is important when buying blades according to xiom scale, it can make the deferrence some time. v1 was ment to be slower but not. main strength of both blades is looping. i cant make my mind which to use! 10/10 x2

Review of Xiom Zetro Quadexcellent build quality, weight 86g and only 6.7mm thick and nice handle too. definitely off blade. comparing with xiom stradivarious/xiom v1. all the blade were used with xiom vega pro max both sides and played at same session. speed: stradivarious & zetro,v1 spin: zetro & stradivarious, v1. hard to seperate strad/zetro both high spin, i think zetro might be a touch more spin, you get that slight dwelly feeling on big strokes. loops: stradivarious & zetro, v1. all three blades are monster when looping, but i found more comfortable with first two blades better feeling. feel of blade: zetro medium soft feel, stradivarious medium feel, v1 hard feel. all three blade are very flexy on big shoots even zetro which is thicker, amazing. overall one of the best blade i have ever used, still cant decide between stradivarious and zetro , in which one to use as my first choice. all three blades are also good for all other strokes, close or far. serious defenders might not like it, althought i was able to play defensive aswell.

Review of Xiom Divagreat all wood blade, I have a collection of fine blades and this one comes on top of my range beating some classic including stiga clipper wood. diva has great speed but not too fast, very dwelly , high control and great for loop and spin shots also sweet spot is really good for wood blade . very similar to tibhar stratus power wood, which is also a unbelievable blade but diva is touch slower. I have my usual rubber both side vega pro. it goes to tell even less pricey blade can perform better than expensive ones sometimes, for me performance is the key not the price. highly recomended

Review of Xiom Vega ProVery nice blade, lower end of off blade. Not very fast but quick enough. Lots of feelings and touch, medium soft feel has lots of dwell. Nice to loop has good flex on big strokes, blocking and short game is very controlable . throw is good above medium. My blade weigh 85g feels light and we'll balance. This blade performance similar to my btfly if zlf but slower, good for someone who needs that extra control and time. By the way the handle on these blade are better than previous ones, vp has more round and fuller handle to hold than traditional flat handle of xiom.

Review of Xiom Vega TourSolid off+ blade that have the ability to play like all+ blade. Xiom have made something really different and unique. Vega tour has high control, high dwell and high throw and explosive speed when you need it. Careful not to select too fast rubbers unless speed is your game. You must give this blade 4-6hrs to understand and get use to its character. Not recommended for beginner's at all. Compared to vega pro blade the v tour is faster with slightly harder feel .both blades have high flex when playing away from table. Speed is the only majour upgrade of v tour from vpro. Edit the speed is too much for me , when things heat up I start missing the table. I think very slow or chiness rubber will be perfect match to balance this beast.

Review of Xiom Offensive SWow, this one is something. It's 5 ply 6mm thick but plays like 7ply clipper cr. The composition is also similar . the xiom has two less ply of ayous than stiga clipper. I call it 5ply clipper cr and plays very similar if not better and the speed is same as clipper cr which i have aswell. my xiom off s is 89g also must say the quality and finish is premium level.

Review of Xiom Hayabusa ZL Prospecialy made for continuous looping from both wing. it is not a slow blade, inner fibre zephelium xiom's special grabbing and holding ball longer material, no carbon is used in this blade. must say it's very impressive does the job better than other top brands . this blade is not recommend for novices although it might be fun but to use its full potential atleast over intermediate level player I would say, than only you can see what a beast of spin machine it is . the blade is little stiff and felt solid on hard shots . also it's got this very elastic whip effect that revs up it's speed and spin to another level on high gears. forgot to mention any hard rubbers including Chinese rubbers plays the best medium is great too. i use h3 fh and mxp bh.

Review of Yasaka Extra SpecialThis blade is very good . Good at every department especially loops and topspining, Control is very high. This blade is comparable with nittaku barwell . Yasaka xs is slightly harder in feel and maybe a little stiffer . I would say 95% characteristics of famous nitaku barwell . The barwell is always lighter in weight and softer feeling than yasaka es but still medium hardness. The dwell and spin is ever slightly high on nitaku barwell aswell. Yasaka es is faster than barwell that may be due weight which most are around 90g-93. And Barwell is 85-89g. Overall yasaka extra special is a top end performance blade that cost under £55.
