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

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

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.

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.

It's a nice blade. Not very fast but the control is good.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I absolutely love this blade been using this for 6 months, swapped from my primorac carbon, it is a tad slower than the primorac carbon, heavier and stiffer but is a much better blade in terms of craftsmanship mine weighs in at 90g. Kill shots are a dream with this blade although forehand flicking can be quite difficult due to the stiffness imo counter looping is easy but passively blocking isn't as easy as other blades but active blocking is also very easy with this a blade. Overall a very good staple for fast attacking composite blades.

On my visit to Beijing last month with STIGA, we visited the Chinese National Team Training centre. All the players from the National A and B squad including Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Zhang Jike, Xu Xin, Ding Ning etc were all training with this ball. I only saw one ball break throughout the whole 2 hour training session. I was surprised and managed to try out these balls could feel the quality of the ball. I still think plastic balls have a fair way to go to feel similar to the celluloid ball however this DHS 2* was reasonable. I have given it 5 stars as I think it's one of the best out of the plastic balls I have tried.

This blade is less stiff than other carbon blades, and more control. On the other hand, it is also slower. Mine is much faster than others, and I don't like that. The handle is wider than most, and you need to sand it or else your fingers will get blisters.

I say this is like a fast allwood. The carbon gives it power while the arylate gives it control. Again, I like other people's better because they are slower. There is much less feeling than in an allwood.

Forehand off the table with this is easy. It'll help you pick up a half long serve or kill-loop a ball inches from the floor that you misanticipated. I find that if I miss a ball, I only put too much effort into it.

My backhand technique is fairly awful. I make only 65% of my BH loops against underspin and I can't really blame that on the blade or rubber.

The problem comes over the table. It is harder to flip. It is harder to push short. A different blade would help you bring the ball over the net. This has been the biggest downfall of the blade.

Blocking is consistent and excellent. The blade is consistent everywhere on it.

I bought this after trying it on a friends blade and I've been in love with it since! Great for creating heavy spin shots or faster topspins, it has enabled me to get that extra kick on the ball to make it awkward for my opponents to deal with. Control definitely comes with practice. However normally I can last a season with rubbers before I notice anything, after about six months were completely gone but this might be normal for some of you.

Other than that I would highly recommend them to any attacking player out there!

These balls are identical to the DHS and Double Fish plastic balls. They tend to split along the seam very very easily. Durability is terrible. They also feel pretty soft. I personally prefer the seamless balls and haven't tried the Nittaku Premium balls but I hear they are the best.
