Friendship/729 WA-2

Tested the blade with several rubbers, including thin sponge pips in, mid-thick pips out and anti. Although Friendship has marked that blade as attacking blade, it feels lack of power for drive-attack when using soft sponge rubber (Friendship 729 fx 1.5mm blue sponge), as I feel some power has been "absorbed" by the wood. But this " power absorption" makes the blade good for looping, chopping and close range blocking. Control is excellent as the mid-soft wood gives extra ball dwelling time.

It's a good looking blade! I have it paired with h3 neo and focus 3 snipe on the bh. You can perform every stroke on the game. If your a spin player this is your blade. Great price too. I'm a tactical spin player with short and long chops and massive spin loops/slow and fast close and far from the table. Thanks table tennis only!

This blade is great at what it was built for, looping! blocks are a little difficult. I can't seem to get them over the net as consistently as I'd like to but anything that deals with putting spin on the ball, this blade is good at it. The handle is a little small, but I got used to it. if you want a good blade for looping or chopping, I'd recommend this one
