Post your latest EJ purchase

[SleepyMaster]

Also ordered a sheet of H3 nat blue sponge 39 and some booster from tt11. At third year of my tt journey I have decided to trying out the what the all hurricane hype is about, will it suit me? Will see🤓

Got myself second Lin-Gaoyuan alc anatomic handle from Butterfly, it became one of my favourite blades so I decided to buy another one - because they are not produced anymore. Also I will try out K3 on the forehand and will compare it to my usual D09c.

Nice find

Nice find

Thnx, played a tourney with it today - it felt amazing (my first anatomical handle) and K3 on forehand no need to adjust after D09c - it is softer and quicker/spin is about the same (easier to use I would say than D09c) - the amount of counter loops from my side today was really brutal 👌🏻

My latest EJ purchase - having loved the Hurricane King Q model I decided to splash out on these two beauties to see which I prefer. I have played a week with the Q but not yet tried the S - blade weights pretty similar but the S is 6.09mm vs the Q at 5.96mm.

Hey no judgment! In fact I'll go first.
I bought a sheet of DHS Skyline 3-60 for my BH. Did I need it now? No.

Full disclosure I got the idea of this topic from another forum (I won't mention which one but has nothing to do with TT), just I won't take credit for the idea.

Purchased mxp last month and I had a hard time controlling it at first so I waited 3 weeks to see if there will be any difference and my stroke somehow got accustomed to it but I was still not feeling it so I purchased fastarc G1 and after just 3 sessions I'm already beating those in my club that I can't even get a single set when I was using mxp. Maybe at my current level mxp+viscaria is just way too fast. So I need to stop Ejing and focus on improving my skills

After playing with different alc blades with Timo Boll name on them for many years, I suddenly found myself playing with this one :

 

[Novarac23]

So we are on vacation in France and we made a pit stop in France. I might or might have not stopped by tabletennis11 physical store and got:
* new blade (got my first carbon blade - donic true inner carbon)
* rubbers (rakza 7 and mark v soft I’ll replace soft with my rozena prolly)
* shoes
* shirts
* socks

Decided to treat myself sure I don’t need the blade but it is something to grow into. I tried a few and that one felt just right.

Just received the Sanwei Vita ALC - Sanwei's Long V structure clone I guess. The finishing is way better than the Inner 75 PBO, but I still sealed the hell of it. The handle is a bit rounder than those of the 75 series. Here are some pics

Nice. Let me know how it plays.

I was considering buying this blade, it looks nice and sanwei blades are always good. But the core looks thicker than Long 5, so it looks more like Long 5x to me. That's the only reason I didn't get it.

It's really don't expect it to plays exactly like Long V or Long 5x at all. For one it's way thinner. I don't have the exact measurement, but from the side tapes I usually use, the thickness is between 5.6mm and for sure is less than 6.0mm. Also the handle is wider than the usual DHS' ones, so it should be a bit more balanced between the wings. Anyway, I slapped my usual test rubbers on it and will try it out in few hours. Can't wait, haha.

Really? It looks quite thick

Well, turned out my intuition is wrong. It's nearly identical to the 5X. Plays quite nice, powerful enough and quite balanced on both FH and BH. The handle is wider than the 75 inner, but still feels small compared to, say, the Viscaria. The Nittaku So-ten remains my favorite inner carbon blade, but the Vita is certainly my favorite Sanwei blade, replacing the 75 Inner.

Any seller will do that for you. Ive never had a seller refuse to do that unless they just cant, like if they dont control the warehouse

It seems to be a bit more complicated. I made 1 more attempt with DHS B2 to get one up to 90g instead of 93 that I have now. BEO store promised to check and never came back. Prott simply didn't respond. Table Tennis World Store promised to help and claimed they have one, however never sent a pic of it on scales. It was shipped today, will see what actually will come. It was not easy to find 75 inner under 90g as well.

Also today Butterfly shipped Innerforce ALC from Germany, expected on Monday, I paid 5 euro extra for weight selection, asked for 85-88g with preference towards lighter end, will see. Didn't want a Harimoto ALC due oversized head.

Meanwhile I've had some discoveries.
I used to hate thin FL handles even though my hands are not so big, just I used to squeeze handle too much. 1st I mitigated it with ST handles, then added a grip tape, then removed tape and just used blades with bulkier handles. But it seems I am completely OK with thin FL again and it adds spin with looser grip.

Flexy inner ALC blades with moderate speed are quite joy to play and catapult when you hit the ball closer to the tip is amazing, just unexpectedly fast and spinny rocket took off without much effort. Good for tacky Chinese rubbers on FH and works well with tensors on BH. I couldn't find a good combo with 75 inner unfortunately.

I received 83-84g 75 inner instead of the asked 90g from aliexpress.

Your 83-84g 75 Inner is FL or ST handle.

gh store showed me their weights before purchase.ased 93/95g and got the 94 gram. They showed me a picture of blade weight🙂
