5 ply all-wood Off/Off+ suggestions

[achalwins94]

I am a big fan of yeo feel, perfect vibration, handle. The reason I changed it as I tried limba outer and liked it better than yeo, had better spin, dwell with my current blade than yeo. Hence I do agree with Carl about hardness of outer ply. As this blade is a little too bouncy for me.
That's why I would suggest you yasaka goiabao, heard that it is less bouncy, made for poly ball or so.
Let me tell you though, yeo is a blade where you won't feel lack of power, but control is a bit challenging. And goiabao is said to be a improved version, so I would say that for a 5 ply blade, and your requirements, you should try this,, try before buying if someone has it in your club.

Well, looks like my next blade will be a handcrafted beauty by OSP. I have been looking for a 5ply "max feel" blade, since I am really not lacking speed with my current setup. Thanks so much you guys for bringing them to my attention. And they're not even that expensive! Currently the shop on their website however doesn't seem to be working for me. Does anyone have the same issue?

Yes, I noticed that a while back, too. I wonder if it's just the website that's down or if they've stopped production for now.

Thank you Achal. For now i am reverting back to my old blade the hurricane WL, will see how that goes for the rest of this month and possibly the next. If i dont like the feeling, i might end up purchasing the Yasaka Extra offensive or the Butterfly Garadiya ALC, fingers crossed.

The OSP shop is back up again!

Sorry, but 5 ply, all wood, Off+ sounds like an oxymoron to me. You can have a 5 ply all wood blade that is All, All+, Off- and even Off, but Off+, not really. I know a Mazinov says Off+ on it but that is an old speed rating from the 1980s-1990s. That is not really the speed rating of a Mazinov. It is an Off blade. Even 7mm thick 7 ply blades like a Clipper are really just Off rated. You could have a 7mm 7 ply Hinoki blade that is close to Off+ like a Darker 7P-2A.7T. But Hinoki is an exception in woods for TT. And it is still not a 5 ply. And that blade is still, in my opinion just short of Off+.

But here are some great all wood 5 ply blades:

1) Virtuoso Off-
2) Virtuoso Plus
3) Nittaku Acoustic
4) Nittaku Violin
5) Nittaku Tenor
6) Stiga Allround Evolution
7) Stiga Rosewood V NCT
8) Stiga Rosewood XO
9) Stiga Ebenholz V NCT
10) Stiga Offensive Classic
11) Tibhar Stratus Power Wood
12) Xiom Offensive S
13) Yasaka Sweden Extra
14) Butterfly Primorac Off-
15) Butterfly Petr Korbel
16) Stiga Tube Offensive
17) Stiga Tube Allround
18) Butterfly Jonyer H
19) Tibhar Drinkhall Allround Classic
20) Tibhar Drinkall Offensive Classic
21) DHS Hurricane King
22) Yinhe Galaxy 896
23) Yinhe Galaxy W6
24) Avalox P500
25) Avalox BT 550
26) Avalox BT 555

There are really a lot more. But there are a few.

By the way, DHS speed rates the Hurricane King at Off++. Really, it is an Off- blade. It is a great blade, but it is an Off- blade.

There are any difference between stratus power wood and the Petr Korbel?
