First of all I would like to thanks TTD member hils4ever and XIOM for giving me the opportunity to test the new XIOM Jung Youngsik Ice Cream AZX blade. Unboxing The Ice Cream AZX comes in a beautiful purple, orange and silver presentation box which has a trapezoid shape to simulate an ice...

Joola introduced the Rhyzm early in the year 2012. The one I’ve tested was a MAX version in red. The rubber did not have any stamps stating ESN or Tensor. The Rhyzm has a hardness on 48 deg Shore C which is equivalent to approx. 36 deg Shore A. That is similar hardness to the Spring Sponge of...

​Unboxing It has been a while since I have played with a Joola blade. When I was a cadet/boy player I was using Joola and Donic equipment which at that time were decent brands and I would love to hit with an old Jörg Rosskopf OFF blade. The Joola Aruna OFF blade comes in a standard Joola box...

Hi TTD members. I just received the new Yasaka Alnade blade. My initial thoughts is that the blade has a nice finish and looks great! Comparing the pitch of the blade vs. M.Maze ALC and Viscaria the blade has a higher pitch and feels stiffer than the blades from Butterfly. I will make a...

Unboxing The Mizutani Jun SZLC blade comes in a beautiful presentation box in the same colors as his signature blade. The color scheme of the handle has change to a more modern design compared to the old blade. The colors are still red and black but for distinguishing between the ZLC and the...

Being used to play with blades with Limba as outer I was curious about what i would be like to try a blade with hinoki as outer. My initial thoughts about the new Garaydia ZLC blade is by looking at the blade you immediately see the natural looks of wood handle and the reddish logo sticker...

Butterfly introduced the new Bryce Highspeed (BHS) late last year with their new Micro Layer technology. The new rubber should come up for a test. For testing I used the Butterfly Garaydia ZLC blade and 40+ balls. The BHS is with 2.1mm sponge. Unpacking The new packing just looks amazing with...

What is OSP...? I had to find out who this manufacture was, so I decided to get a blade and chose the new OSP Virtuoso CRWi UNI OFF which is pretty similar in composition as my main blade the DHS W968 2nd edition. I have heard so many good things about their blades which comes in high...

The Xushaofa 3* is a very good ball for the buck. I haven't broken one until now there I would say it is very durable. The only remark I would say is that the ball reminds me if playing with a jumbo ball.

I didn't like the ball that much. When it is new it is ok. Good speed and roundness is like nittaku, but when the ball hits a guard surface it gets marks very easy which is very noticeable when playing. It takes some time to get used to the sound of the ball. The cost doesn't reflect the balls...

Best poly made! Good surface which makes it like getting grip as the cell ball. Speed is almost like the cell ball and I would say it is very recommendable for tournaments!

EJ season has started! :) After seeing how Yuya Oshima have performed lately I got curious of what was so special about his setup? I did some investigation and found his blade, the Mizuno Fortius FT (Fine Touch), for a reasonable price. Unboxing the blade: The Fortius FT comes in a nice...

I have played with the XSF +40 for several weeks now and the ball is easy to change to from the cell ball. The quality of the balls are quite consistent, but there may be some balls that are oval. One thing I've noticed about the XSF seamless ball was that it was slower than many if the other...

Hi guys In the last couple of weeks I have been trying out the 190, but since I had to play team matches I had to stay with the 145 for a period. Now the season is finish I could train and test the 190. My initial impression of the blade is the finish and quality of the Carbonado 190 is the...

Coming from my current setup W997 with H3 PROV NEO and T64 I decided to keep my H3 NEO on FH and try T05 on the BH side. The following impressions are after 8 hours of training during this week. Counter drive: When counter driving I had to adjust a bit coming from my previous setup where the...

Hi guys. I will shortly return with a review on this blade about how it plays. Before I can do this I am preparing some rubbers to out on the blade. Here is some pictures you guys can enjoy My initial thoughts about the blade is that the finish is quite smooth and the quality is top class. The...

Good for close to mid distance attackers that like a solid controllable all wood blade.

Unboxing the blade was like Christmas eve and I could wait to have a look at the DHS W968. The quality of the blade is top class and the size of the is similar to the Hurricane Long 3. Also to notice the wings is a bit wide compared to the HL3. It is a large head looping blade with a ALC...
