Pros
  • Powerful shots
  • control
Cons
  • Small sweet spot
  • no feeling
I've used two blades 82 and 83 gr. Viscaria apart from DHS Hurricane Long 3 and 5, Stiga Rosewood NTC VII and currently Stiga Clipper Wood WRB. If this blade would have larger sweet spot and a lot more feeling when hitting the ball, than this blade was born for me. I think for the people who are training a lot, who has stable shots, throw angles should use this blade. There is a reason why top Chinese players love this blade.

If you are still improving, wooden blade may sharpen your skills with the help of feeling.

Pros
  • construction
  • No vibration
Cons
  • thin FL handle
  • Tag
weights about 90g because of its 8 layers of wood and 3 layers of carbon. The quality, the look and the feel is excelent. It plays super fast even with soft rubbers (T80FX - Airoc S), so control might be an issue, there's almost no vibration on the handle when hitting the ball hard. Great blade for attackers playing mid and away from the table, is hard to play close to the table (using the above mentioned rubbers)

edit: The blade doesn't stand damage to the sides too well, and the handle Tag sucks.

Pros
  • speed
  • Great feel
  • block
Cons
  • Heavy
Great blade - really great speed - without losing control, a delight to play, topspin and block with. Short play is very good, when you get used to it, can be a bit bouncy if you are not used to it.
Great power for an all wood blade, generates good spin, decent dwell time. Creates good arc for topspin play. Downside is its weight - too heavy with rubbers like tenergy or even Bluefires.

The fact that almost every single Non Butterfly sponsored pro - (think of anyone you like) sponsored by other Manufacturers refuse to use anything other than Tenergy says it all.

This blade is awesome - fantastic speed and feeling, with corresponding control. Fitted with T05's this blade creates the arc required to load the ball with as much spin as your technique allows. Blocking is solid, consistent and precise & accurate.
The feeling is impressive - the 'putaway' power in the blade is better than the Viscarias imho. All round an awesome blade - good enough for some pros I know personally to switch and use it. One of them switched after trying mine - just for a bit of fun - and ended up using it till the end of his training session and went out and got himself a few (chosen/selected) for use. Works brilliantly with the new ball - gives that extra bit of power without losing control.

It's a very spinny rubber with a lot of feeling. Only sometimes it feels quite soft when you hit hard.

Pros
  • Very Fast
  • Very Light
  • Good Control
Cons
  • Splinters Easily
This is a very good blade. It is very light and fast. It has very good control for a blade this fast... Pair it with palio CJ8000 spin at forehand and xiom V Euro at backhand.

This is a monster for flat hitting and smashes but you can loop well with this too... Put a tensor rubber on the backhand side and it will be a blocking monster also

Also very light,felt like holding a toy bat lol... But beware the top ply is very thin and can splinters easily if youre not careful when removing your rubbers...

Overall really worth the price

Pros
  • spin and speed
Cons
  • not durable
It's a good rubber.The spin and speed are excelent. It is quite hard for the softest version of the 'maxxx' series. You get control with every strike and you can still play powerfull topspins. The downfall with me at least was that it only lasted for 3 months. (play 3 times a week)

It's a great blade. You can feel the power when you hit a topspin. It might be quite fast but with the right rubbers you can make it the way you want. It has a good throw and it gives confidence when you spin.

It's a quite expensive blade. But you get what you pay for. The blade gives you a lot of control while playing topspin. And in the short push you still have a lot of control. The carbon fibres make it quite fast.

I played one year with this blade. The good thing is that you can do every strike with it. But you don't lose power to hit a powerfull topspin away from the table.

Pros
  • longlasting
  • good spin
It's a good rubber. It lasted for one year. And at the end there was still a lot of spin in it. The speed is good and you keep the control in every strike.

For W-1 in Blades
Pros
  • Control
  • Feel
The W-1 is billed as the "Wood King" in the lineup of Yinhe/Galaxy blades. There are two thin layers of carbon and you really dont feel them at all. This is a control looping blade, NOT some OFF+ hitting machine. Just like Nacy Sinatra sang "These boots were meant for Walking" the W1 is meant for LOOPING... over and over. There isnt a whole lot of power in it. Speed tops out at low end of OFF on your power hits. Feel is there with some decent vibration feedback. Strength of blade is continuous loop attack and control of placement. This balde has the control of what you expect out of a classic ALL+ blade, but a better top end. Still, dont expect to blast through everyone on your first loop using it.

Pros
  • Top end control
Cons
  • Lacks speed
This blade has outstanding control. I really like how I can block incoming attacks very easily. Even when a player has put a lot of rotation on the ball I can block with little problems. The blade also has a carbon feel which means I can attack with speed if I want to. It is not the fastest carbon blades out there, but it certainly is one of the most controlled.

Pros
  • Nice speed
I tried my friends rubber in the club the other day who uses the Airoc S. I felt a good amount of speed and spin and I think I could use it myself however I am addicted to Chinese rubbers on the forehand now. I think this rubber would suit the backhand well. My only concern was sometimes away from the table the rubber lacked control. But again this could be because i'm used to tacky chinese rubbers so my stroke is used to being able to grab the ball.

A forgiving blade with lots of speed. Splinters easy so be careful when changing rubbers or modifying it. A bit on the heavy side due to the 9ply. HUGE sweetspot. Great blade.

  • Collects dust
  • A bit slow
This Chinese rubber has good control and a lot of spin. The throwangle is medium/high. Its not that fast and pretty heavy as most Chinese rubbers. Really tacky! In comparison to the DHS Skyline 2 neo i found this rubber to be slower and the throw higher. Not as direct. Still, a great rubber.
I used it on a Stiga Hybrid wood blade.

This Chinese rubber is heavy but not as heavy as Hurricane 3 neo. I find it faster then Hurricane 3 neo and it has a lower throw angle. I find it more direct. It suits both FH and BH play. A great rubber for the money. I use it on a Stiga Hybrid Wood blade, love the speed and spin.

Pros
  • quite fast
Cons
  • skid
  • inconsistent
I trained on these tables at my club about 4 times a week for about 2 years.

They are pretty good tables but are certainly not the best. For high end performance players and for tournaments I do not recommend as the ball stays low and will sometimes skid along the table...you may only notice this if you play to a fairly high standard.

They are still good solid tables but if you are making an investment to buy one for the club or for your own personal use i would buy a different table.
