(the best blade i've had). Great blade for playing close to the table with fast rubbers ex:Tenergy 64.
My blade for the last 2 years and i recommend it for beginners to medium levels...my game has progressed since then,so now i want to do some changes and to have something more appropriate with the skills that i developed with time, I play C-PEN style using both sides of the racket which is quite in common.
To take advantage of my strong forehand, i'am looking forward to the Hurricane Long 5 with H3 National Blue sponge (FH) Tenergy 05 (BH), once i get used to this new equipments i leave a review.

A really good blade. Been using it for almost 2 years already.
The only problem with this blade is that the head of the blade is so small that when you spin sometimes it hits the edge of the racket.
But you really need to be careful and once you get use to it it will be just perfect for you.

Not the best experience i had with this ball..Breaks very easily, inconsistent roundness and have very soft feeling.

IMHO, best 40+ ball to play with..Consistent roundness, durable (but break easily if hit edge of blade), & hard feeling when hit. For me, the closest feeling to the celluloid ball.

I love this rubber on my BH, I like to brush the ball more with my BH topspin so I prefer the harder sponge. It also is great at punching or flat hitting, sometimes I do find it difficult to controller slow spiny topspins ( my technique). Over all my favourite rubber for BH

I have been using this ball for about 4 months i think i have only broken one. I think its the best plastic ball so far

If you don't get a great backhand, you have to play with that rubber, control, spin and very cheap. It's great to prepare strong strokes

I just change from Tenergy FX 05 to that rubber, it's great for spin

I have followed the advice from Forum's members and I didn't regret !

Good ball for what it is, doesn't have the same durability as the old celluloid ones but it's much better than the seamed rubbish DHS have been making.

Coming from esn rubbers, h3 neo feels quite different.
Being a chinese rubber, it's quite sticky and slow. Sponge is hard.
Spin is great and control is always there. To play effectively with this rubber, one has to apply active strokes. Passive play always results in disadvantage. Its quite different from the european tensors.
Services- while serving, everything is possible, and it feels great as tack comes in play, hence high amount of spin is there. Shot services with spin is also easy to do.
Serve receive- yes, spin sensitivity is there, but as the rubber is slow, ball doesn't deviate much or doesn't pop up much. Still proper technique is required as it is not a much forgiving rubber.
Close to table- Everything is possible in this range. Chops, counter top spin, all said, proper technique is must. Though smashes and counter are less effective as the rubber is slow.
Mid to long range- Its a typical chinese rubber. Rubber never bottoms out. Hence if you do loops loaded with spin, one can always be in advantage.
To use this rubber, one must be fully committed to play perfect strokes.
Boosting may help to soften the sponge and increase speed and spin.

Overall a good all round blade, it's strong and will definitely last a good amount of time. Nothing special about the speed or control, but it does the job.

Really good allround rubber, not quite the speed or spin of Tenergy and Mxp but a good alternative if you want a flatter throw. Touches take time to get the hang of, and if you catch serves wrong then it's not very forgiving.

This is the sort of rubber that requires very good technique, but sadly not the european kind; to really get the most out of this rubber you need to have a huge looping forehand, but if you misjudge it it's likely to go horribly wrong. Serves can be very good, especially when the rubbers new, the ball rarely pops up too high. Overall a good rubber if you're willing to really work for it, but there are easier alternatives.

This is quite a cheap blade. Got it for 20 euros from tt11.
I got this blade weighing 93 gm.
I am using dhs skyline 3 neo on fh and lkt rapid speed on bh.
This blade has big face, hence a little head heaviness due to heavy rubbers is observed.
Close to table- Since I use chinese rubber on fh, the spin is evidently there in serves. Whenever long services are executed, this blade has been quite predictable. Hence it is stiff enough.
For chops, I needed to use less power, or the ball would go out.
For 3rd ball attack, this blade is great, its fast and powerful. Executing blocks is breeze.
Long table- As I mentioned, this blade is quite fast, off+ for me, and with chinese rubbers, if the loops are perfect, there would not be power loss.
But to execute it, your shots should be perfect. It seemed to me that this blade is less forgiving.
Important ratings-
Speed- off+ (definitely)
Defence- needs precision
Stiffness- 6to7
Dwell- a little is there when you go for loops. This attribute is actually profitable for me as it is a stiff blade normally, hence works good for counters and blocks, but when you want to do loops, dwell comes( like viscaria)
Sweet spot- definitely less than my other blade ymleo.
Hardness- hard
Durability- definitely looks sturdy, ymleo is behind pg7 in this aspect.
Vibration- is present, will sometimes irritate, as the vibrations are a bit confusing.
Overall rating- 7.8 out of 10
(Ymleo is 8.1, for me)

I tried this rubber on DHS Hurricane Long 5 which is a very fast blade..The ball has a lot power behind it, very spinny and fast at the same time. The feel i got is quite similar to the boosted typical dhs rubber. As it is only in the range of 20 dollar, it is my answer to my infatuation to the boosted dhs rubber which is costing me about 30 more dollar.

Great shoes very supportive for how light they are. Had no issues with the grip. I would highly recommend

The Nittaku Premium 40+ is a huge improvement over the previous XSF and DHS balls. This ball feels heavier and more solid compared to to the previously mentioned ones. The speed and spin is also superior. Haven't had any roundness issues until now. It also doesn't have the bothering sound of the XSF balls. The only minus is that NP40+ is more expensive than the XSF and the DHS ones.

Edit 7/2016 : These balls are very consistent and have a predictable bounce. They can last even longer than cell balls if you don't hit many edges. If you hit the ball with the edge quite often, it can break very-very fast, this being the biggest vulnerability of all plastic balls. Even if the XSF balls seem more durable, the NP are definitely more pleasing to play with.

Let' begin with a short story time. Since a decade i have to deal with really bad back pain, as strong that after the training I needed painkillers so i could lay and sleep. At that time I was wearing the usual tabletennis equipment provider shoes. Around 5 years or even perhaps longer time ago i switched to Asics Gel-Blade. I'm telling you compared with the normal shoes it was like walking into fluffy clouds. My back pain was relieved by half i would say. Since then Im sticking with them and I was never dissapointed. Now lets look a bit more detailed into the shoe. It is a ultra light-weight, after some minutes you are not feeling that you are wearing shoes, it is totaly natural. The shoe provides a nice stablity to your foot and the ligaments, what gives you a real feeling of security. I had in all these years of table tennis just once a sprained ligament what was due to a lack of grip. With what we come to the only point what I dont like so much. At the beginning the grip is really good, you can move fast and you are not sliding. But in my opinion the grip is fading too fast. Around after 3/4 year with 3-4 times training + 1 game per week the sole is really worked up and the grip is quite gone. Despite that the rest of the shoe stays close to 100% in perfect shape. For the price of around 70-80€ you are getting a top class shoes. Im just sad that the new 5 series is unbelievable ugly. Just avaible in this horrible blue or in a headache giving white-neon yellow-orange-red mix. Nevertheless a top shoes worth buying.

I came randomly to this blade, but when I was playing it first time I already could say that it's just a really good rounded blade. It gives a just comfortable feedback to your hand what gives you nice control for receiving serves or also controling very well positioning and the spin what you want to give your ball. Afterall you have to consider that this nice piece was designed quite a while ago, 1976 if im not wrong. And for modern standarts it is not an offensive blade anymore. It is more an All or All+. With it you can play every stroke with a good quality but it will not provide you with "the killer topspin" so shot. The spins and shots will really lack a bit of speed when it would be necessary to end a point through speed. Also you really have to put more effort in , if you want to give the ball a higher bounce angle, the balls are flying really flat. I think it is a perfect bladed for starters or people who like just to bring a fcking lot of balls back to the table

very good backhand rubber. It shines mid and far distance play . super fast , speed is more than spin.
