Pros
  • Spin, Serves
  • Drives, Shorts
  • Loops, Counters
Cons
  • Nothing
I switch from my Ebenholz NCT V cuz I found myself problems to drive with the Ebenholz so when I buy T64, I also order this blade instead. This blade is just in my desire. Good for RPB Penhold Chinese Style Drive play. It fix all my problem. Suitable with my DHS H3 Prov Blue Sponge and T64. Its also very light. I also can create a lot of spin on serves and spin on anything because of the amazing amount of dwell time. Also this blade is better for RPB penhold than the Ebenholz in my opinion.

My first real blade. Previously i was playing with an old TSP Chinese 5-S, All around, lots of vibration and slow. It was a huuuuuuge BOOM to my experience. This blade is as fast as date lenght. At first i tried with LT PLUS BH LT SOUND FH but it was ~meh~. Then i tried H3NEO FH Rakza7 BH...too heavy and did not fell right. Then i tried LT PLUS as FH and maintained Rakza 7 as BH. Supa dupa blaster master speed!! Awesome! I was able to loop consistently with BH and fast drive/smash with FH. Awesome....but still felt strange. Now i am with Rakza 7 Max both sides....WOW. Thats is! My control short, close and mid distance improved a lot as i vary speed/spin a lot during a point, it offers very smooth transitioning. The control provided by blade is good. Not superb, but good. It flexes a bit when swing too fast, which i found in hand on those far backhand angle strokes. Speed is high. Feeling...hmm...maybe i didnt my medicines up lately but it talks with you. Whenever you are with wrong rubber, stroke poorly...it tells ya. I never saw myself blaming the rubber for that difficult stroke went wrong....i knew it was me...dem feels bro. In short Tons of fells - of course, monoply hinoki is the king in this department Control - Good, yeah...good. Speed - High o/ Hardness - HARD Stiffness - Medium id say. Short game - it lacks some control but i think its due rakza. Paired with medium-soft/medium rubbers is a looping machine. Rakza 7, Omega iv euro, Sigma II Euro would be good choices. Maybe Calibra LT Spin and Airoc M too!! Ohh, mine weights 82gr! im lucky ) If you are an intermediate player and want to take TT seriously, id highly advise this blade.

  • Glueing rubbers
Really good blade, only problem I have now is that its hard to glue rubbers to it as the surface is quite slippery, once the rubbers are on however its really worth it.. The blade is expensive and at first hard to control if you're not used to the speed however once you get used to it, it is such a great blade to have and is really fun to play with.

I have played with many blades, but this one wins over them easily. You feel the game better when playing, not to mention great control and speed this blade offers. It suits the requirements of attacking game relatively far away from the table. I play with Rakza X on both sides of this blade.

Stiga rosewood V is blade with good speed and control balance. When you need a fast shot down the line it produces it with not much effort. I find the short game a little problematic with this one, but with training it will get better.

Pros
  • amazing feel
  • Speed
  • Control
I love this blade. It really suits my game of attacking spin shots. It is amazing how I can change between speed and spin so easily. Also it is really fast when it needs to be, but I feel very comfortable in the over the table touch game, but also in general when blocking. Nothing to put on this blade. I play this blade with Tenergy 05 on both sides.

Pros
  • Fast
  • Great control
I have used this blade for 2 years now and have never changed since because it suits my game perfectly. I like to backhand punch a lot and this blade helps me do that due to the hard nature on contact. I also find I have great control in the rally with the Rosewood, I am able to block a lot of balls on the table with good consistency.
