HL3 Review
I only have had this blade for 2 months(90g) and it overtook my waldner legend carbon as mymain blade. The reasons are simple, similar speed levels, however much better control. Rubbers I used on it were:
H3(FH) + Joola RHYZM P(BH)
Sriver G3(fh+BH)
Speed: this blade is fast. Now I’ve only owned afew but they range from ALL+(timo) to the waldner legend carbon(10+ accordingto donic) and this is the fastest I’ve used, however it’s close to the donic. When away from the table or close you've got enough speed to hit a winner that’s all there is to it.
Control: due to the fact the ball seems to stick to the blade forever you can effortlessly move a ball about the table, but this comes at a price, if you cannot control the spin incoming to you it will really bite in and cause issues. But if you have the techniques down and can handle the opponents spin you can use the extra residence to your advantage and either use it for extra spin or for placement.
Hardness/durability: when I first got this blade I wouldhave considered it hard but not very hard. However when replacing the rubbers it became apparent the top is VERY soft, as in varnish or replace after a fewre-glues. Due to this the hardness and durability depends on your choice of lacquer.However it is still quite a hard blade and don’t expect a super soft thing.
Handle comments:
I sweat, A LOT, from my hands playing table tennis,and this blade handle is very ready to soak it in, now this isn’t an issuereally but don’t scratch it after playing as the wood handle when wet dents andscratches quite easily
