n301

N301 is a bit stiffer because of the koto outer ply as compared to limba on 968.

Thus, the speed for n301 is higher, but less spin, and less control, less dwell time.


The backhand of n301 is better for blocking. FH is a bit lower throw than 968.


n301 has more vibration than 968. The overall feeling, vibration and throw is more like butterfly inner zlc.
968 is more woody feeling for in table balls.

If your technique is FH small and powerful swing, near to mid table, if you like to hit the ball early (before or at the big bounce), BH block or punch block. Then N301 suits you.

On the other hand,
if your technique is FH large swing, if you like mid-far table top spin, and hit the ball late (after big bounce when it starts to fall). BH more flip or spin based. Then w968 suits you.

N301 requires higher technique to control, suitable for those players with a proper training in technique.


Conclution, I think they are equal best. But they suit different technique styles. You need to choose based on your own style.

Both blades are played using Provincial Hurricane 3 Neo OS + Tenergy 64
