Friendship/729 V-6

I bought this because of the record 9.5 overall score but did not believe it until I tried it. But yes better for my game than a now retired DHS PG7. The V6 is carbon so feedback not like an all wood blade. With fast rubbers it will play like an off- but with a great touch. I therefore recommend the V6 with fast rubbers to match the PG7 or N9. I seem to play better with an HRT Clipper or pg7 according to my team mates they are faster but very good blade too. If you can use skill and win by not hitting but superior placement short game then try the V6. It is a very good training for that sort of game. The carbon feel is there which is not perfect for me. Update after 4 years now use a DHS 301 just fantastic

Suprisinglly overall nice blade, underestimated cost (appr.30$)!! Little bit slower and softer than TBS, but controlible and amasingly precise in short and midle distance game in all kind of shots.In the comparison with TBS it has almost equal characteristics, just only need some sand paper work to finish outlook design.All in all perfect blade substitute to TBS.

One of the best OFF- blades (and very cheap, too). If you can find one that suits your weight requirements, buy it. Weight usually varies from 86 to 98 g which is a rather wide range. Very good control and softness provide great short game, placement shots etc. With the right rubbers (and it can play with almost all of them) it blocks and loops very well. An excellent choice for a budget-minded allround player or for an OFF- attacker.

This blade is a gem for the price. It really does everything well and always provides good control, which has helped me a lot in my development. Considering that this is not a super fast blade, you can improve it with a faster rubber, like Tensor rubbers, but it also goes well with Chinese tacky rubbers.

Amazing blade for the price, does everything well! It has a very comfortable handle, big and bulky that fits perfect with big hands. Speed is good and can hit hard without loosing control. Feeling is great too, soft with a kick from the carbon, can feel the ball perfectly. If you're on a budget look no further
