I have finally found the blade of my dreams, after i have played with Rosewood,Viscera,Clipper and many more this is the first the i am really in love with. It have a fantastic feeling and touch, you can almost feel the ball from your hand when u hit the ball. The really good thing is that you have a fantastic feeling and a really fast blade. My blade is around 84 gram and it is like nothing when i am playing and my wrist is fully free

Pros
  • Spinny
  • fast
  • durable
Switched to this rubber from M version, which where good but i had lack of control a little bit. Very good rubbers, played also with Calibra and Tour but these i like much more. They have proper amount of spin and speed combined with control. Some of my friends that play with Tenergy liked them very much but at the end they think that Tenergy is better which i doubt. I think that is just that they don't want to admit that tenergy is not absolute.

Anyway these are the best rubbers so far and I am waiting eagerly the Astro rubbers

Cons
  • very stiff

I played with this blade for about 6 months. Very good blade, very fast but not easy to control. A friend of mine played 2 days and requested to buy from me, and now ended with Rosewood VII which is very good and suits me better.

My backhand rubber by preference. Perfect for blocking. I just wish Tenergys would be cheaper because I can´t play with any other rubbers.

This is now my forehand rubber by preference. It is very spiny and has very good control on blocking. Like many users have said, the price is the issue.

  • Not excellent
Very good control. The rubber changes to better rubber as you play with it. But not an excellent rubber. Maybe if you boost it with oil than it might become an excellent rubber.

Pros
  • Good spin

Cons
  • Slow
  • Needs care
So I used this on a carbon blade for a while after first moving to it in the idea that aslow rubber and a carbon blade will be controllable when I want and fast when needed. This wasn't always true.

Speed:very slow, due to the soft slow sponge and top sheet this rubber is perfect fora beginner, it allows control and precise placement as well as an ability to create spin due to the dwell. However when back from the table and looping to win a point against a opponent a shot you put all your effort into can appear lacklustreas the rubber saps all the force from it. Also it bottoms out very easily.

Control:very good, spin produced is good however when receiving spin the rubber performed very well after moving from Chinese hard rubbers it was nice to have a more forgiving feeling, it also made it much easier to flip a serve back allowing an early attack. But if the attack went on for too long you could find yourself at the mercy or the lack of speed.

Spin:good when washed and new, the top sheet is fairly grippy and soft allowing good spin on every stroke.

Durability:this rubber has good durability, however if you do not look after it the rubber will loose spin fast, this rubber is perfect for beginners on a budget even those learning attacking as long as they buy an offensive blade(more like soft euro rubbers then the cheap Chinese offerings) however it will require a clean every or at most every other use to keep spin at a good level unlike the 729 normal which will continue to produce good spin(if not optimal) even when dirty.

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

I really like the fact that the ball seems to skid on this table a lot less than on other tables. The speed is normal and the bounce is not that high but still good.

So the donic Waldner legend carbon was my first adventure into compositeblades and from a non-expert side I'll share my views:

Speed: really quiet fast, a noticeable step up from a infinity VPS V, it'sstiffness allowed fast drives close to the table and due to the oversized headit had some flex allowing an extra fast gear from back from the table.

Control: well if you like hard blades then this is a great blade, f
rom the first time I used it I enjoyed the fact that wherever I angled theblade the ball followed without hesitation, in the long game it was great tooas the slight flex allowed for a bit of extra control dueto the increaseresidence time on the bat.

Spin: While in the short game you can take advantage of the snappycarbon feelof the blade the spin on harder shots is good, if this is down to the hinokiouter plies or the sizeof the face I do not know however good spin was producedwhen required, howevershort punchy shots the spin was disappointing.

Overall I would say this blade is suitable for most attacking players due tothe high amount of control in the blade as well as speed.

At the beginning I wanted to see why are all the chinese national team is playing with that rubber. I was very disappointed. It was so slow and I couldn't finish the point with power. Then I was like how are the chinese nationals so powerful with it. Whatsoever I boosted it... still only spin and no speed so I removed it and after a month or two I saw on the internet that the national version of the rubber is nothing like the commercial and I bought it. Was kinda good but it still lacked speed. Therefore I decided to boost it. And guess what after all this long term searching for the perfect rubber I was satisfied with the result. It was fast and spiny. So the conclusion is don't buy the commercial version, buy the national and boost it. Then you will find the thing you were searching for so long.

I've bought the next version hurricane long w997 and it is simply amazing. It has speed control but at the beginning when I used hurricane 3 nat. version it was really hard for me to produce speed even impossible but after I boosted the rubber it was okay. The biggest con of this blade is that it is really heavy and when you put 2 rubbers it goes around 200 grams and in the first 2-3 weeks the arm and even the whole hand hearts a lot. This blade is more for a professional players, if you are new to the sport I don't recommend it.

  • low throw
A medium hard rubber that has great spin control ratio, when you need a very spinny ball it will get you one, good for short game but away from the table i like it the most, i would like a bit more throw angle but that i can fix with a litle more practice :D

Pros
  • Easy to use
  • comes with net
  • good oscilator
Cons
  • not suited 4 40+
It's an easy to use robot, with 3 functions: speed, ball frequency and oscilator speed.
It can send the balls to 6 different locations, ajustable but with one type of spin at the time.
Comes with a net collector.
It's fast enough and can give you a good amount of balls per minute.
Sometimes it jams (about every 150-200 balls) with 40 mm balls.
The 40+ balls tht I've tried went random direction.
You can train blocks, drives, topspin, service returns and loops.
Best suited to learning the basic stokes or to train at home. It's also easy and quick to set it up
