Review of Butterfly ViscariaComparing this to many blades too long to list, the Viscaria (mine 89g) feels more solid, refined, crisp, sharp than all of them. For an ALC blade it is very close to perfect (apart from players different opinions on various handle preferences, how else can you improve on this?). The rating for control that is 8.2 is completely misleading. It is one of the most precise blades for its speed I have used to date, control is really 9-9.2/10 at least. Awesome sounding blade on power shots too. Truly high quality blade.

Review of DHS TG-7 CPThis is an awesome blade, accurate rating of OFF+. The handle is thicker than on a Hurricane Hao blade. Blade is also thicker compared to other DHS blades, thus lots of power although slightly less power than the PG7. I was using the TG7-CP with a H3 blue sponge (unboosted) and the combination is perfect. Tenergy 05 for BH and for a while this was undoubtedly my best bat out of many bats that were more expensive.

Review of Xi Enting Tiger 560I was using a K-mart bat when I decided to get back to table tennis. My friend let me use his Butterfly TC201 and convinced me to get a proper bat. Soon after I purchased a DHS 6002 factory bat with H3 and Tin Arc rubbers. A short while later I had a feeling that something was missing from this bat so I sold it to a work mate. This is where the Xi Enting Tiger 560 comes in. I purchased it as a custom made bat with Friendship RITC Faster 2008 and Friendship RITC 802-40 Short pips-out Rubber. First thing I noticed is the very short handle but I got used to it. This setup is surprisingly good. The feel of the bat in your hand is amazing. I'm not being biased but I prefer the feel of this blade more than my brothers Stiga Hybrid wood with Yasaka Mark V's. The Tiger 560 is not 110% perfect, but for now I am loving and enjoying the feel of this bat. It is amazing. The only reason why I bought this bat was because it was cheap, Xi EnTing has many patents and used to be former no 1 of the world. But I didnt find out that it was in the 70s till after I bought it LOL.

Review of Yasaka Sweden ExtraFound this blade by accident when I was looking for an all round Stiga classic blade. The Yasaka Extra Sweden is made in Sweden's famous woodhouse in Taranas. I paired this with 2.0 mm Yasaka Mark V's on both sides, and it is the most enjoyable combination improve your strokes and master your techniques. Compared to a Donic Waldner Carbon Senso with same rubbers, it has ever so slightly better control & softer touch due to it being a notch slower (which is great because the Waldner Carbon Senso is one of the best balanced control blades out there) . If the Waldner Carbon Senso is rated at OFF-, the YSE is definitely and ALL+. With the classic Mark V rubbers, unless you are a beginner/intermediate you don't want to get anything slower than this.
