??Higgs Blade:
I got the chance to review this Table Tennis Blade I received from Nexy, I Hope you get the chance to read.
Rubbers I used are Tenergy 64, Acuda S2, Hurricane 8
(Basically hard rubber for Fh and Tensor and famous rubbers) and Nexy 3 Star Polyball 40+
Higgs
First impression:
The Packaging is totally stylish, in laymen's terms you can say its "cool". Opening the box comes at ease and can be used as an alternative batcase if you can't still afford or you come short including a case in your Budget. The Blade's craftsmanship is superb, especially at how smooth it is cut, the cutting tool used must be of some kind of high technology and delicate. Nexy Also used a Metal Emblem
The Blade:
Higgs is a 7-ply 4th Generation Blade released by Nexy, as How it is described by Nexy, they used Wenge as an outer veneer that has a characteristic of 'line". "Line" is described as a feeling of dragging.
To Test this blade, I kept in mind to use fast-high tension rubbers and a Hard rubber for Forehand, of cores at-least a poly-ball ready rubber for FH.
In Action:
Drills: Tenergy 64-FH, DHS H8-Fh, Acuda S3-BH, Tenergy-64Bh(I switch rubbers to know the compatibility w/ my game
FH:
From the first 3-4 hits, I already felt the speed of the blade and the so called "Dragging". The ball has a low trajectory and pinpoint like bounce as I was hitting it. The feeling was firm as I was hitting it, very less vibration or should i describe it as having a hard sponge hitting the ball.
BH:
I am very satisfied at how it performed well with short strokes at w/ my BH and produced fast shots
Spin:
I was able to produce reasonable amount of spin. I noticed I had to make lower angles to my shot because I'm using T64. The ball is fast and produced more spin compared to my set up before using a Rosewood NCT 5 and Acuda S2-FH. I just had to make some control adjustment since i am used to full swings when it comes to spinning, I had this trouble solved when I used the DHS H8 in my FH. I am a bit surprised that despite using a hard rubber in my FH, the speed difference was not that wide.
I ask my drill partner and friend to blocked my BH spin, I felt so much comfort and less effort of hitting the ball at a mid distance even at a close table range, the spin produced was low in arc and spiny.
Short return/flips:
When it come s to short under-spin shots, controlling the ball close to the not has no problem. Flip shots was also easy maybe because of what Nexy say as the "Line" effect.
Game Play:
3rd ball attack comes at ease, I manage to produce spiny short and long serves that allowed me to play my game since I tend to brush the ball w/ ripping BH and looping chops at its lowest point of trajectory. When it comes to succeeding balls, I can say I had a 60/40 success and error rate, this could be because of the rubber compatibility to the blade and adjustments i need for my own game.
Overall Summary:
The blade is fast, I can rate this mid Off and Off+. I recommended this to players who like short quick strokes in both FH and BH. I would suggest that this blade be used w/ a much slower Hard rubber to full swing loopers or attackers, maybe a Rising Dragon from Yasaka will do. It can fairly be played at a close table range and performed better at Mid distance. I'm also looking forward to have this compared w/ butterfly's new gen wenge wood blade(Hard draw especial wood series).
weigh: 83 g
speed: mid off and off+
plies: 7 plies( 2 wenge outer veneer)
credits to friends who let me borrowed some rubbers
I would appreciate comments and suggestions when it comes to reviewing
