Post your latest EJ purchase

Yes. The blades are really nice, but I always got them delivered in only plastic wrapper. I think it's a shipping cost thing, but I'll check if they have some nice boxes for them as well for the future. It's a bit nicer in many ways.

The Giant Dragon case is really nice as well. And as you say, protective. A bit more solid than many other brands.

I have got really good feedback on this t-shirts as well, and they have a really good, light feel, and it's a bit lighter than my own competition shirt from Craft as well.

The shorts. Yes. The pockets might be a little bit smaller, but personally I don't have a problem with this. They fit about 6-7 balls and you can play without problem, but of course some other brands might fit more balls

Thank you for your nice review.

The blade:
That really gives a cheaper impression. If it was one of the cheap ones I’d understand but this wasn’t, but regardless it was nice quality both in handicraft and wood quality. But they should ditch the big red O right in middle of the sweet spot, it is too thick…

Yes it does. But the finishing is really nice, and you're right about the O. It feels a bit thick, but it's perhaps because it's filled too? I checked some other brands as well and their printings are equally thick, but not that massive as this one. I haven't noticed anything uneven when playing with it, so I hope you don't either. Happy New Year

Yes you are correct, the ”no box thing” threw me off. It is a really really nice blade, but I think it’s much faster than all+. This doesn’t matter I have plenty of those anyway…

Happy new year you to.

P.s When the season opens on Thursday guess what outfit I’ll be wearing…

Straight from Sanwei’s site.

Gonna try that as my next fh rubber, never played it. Let us know what you think about it, if you can.

OK my friend. It will arrive in three weeks time. I refuse to pay extra for fast delivery, so it is a three weeks wait using snail mail delivery ( by sea route I suppose ) from Japan.

Once I put it on my Darker Speed 90, I wanna be like these dudes! or die trying!

Ordered week before Christmas 24th? Arrived yesterday. 90g according to my kitchen scales, I will put lp ox on the outer side so not worried about it being heavy. Just like my pro-01 blades I’ll need to sand the wings a bit.

 

[Novarac23]

I might or might have not bought a ovtcharov alc with d09c on fh and d05 on bh for christmas 🙃 and I love it.

 

[riemsesy]

Looks awfully cumbersome to use. Here is mine

you were right.. my laziness is the cause of that, just taking some scrap wood to see if it works
Because of you .. I added thread and bolts
works indeed much easier

 

[disaster3]

Hi guys, just checking are you still EJing? 😜
Solution: buy Golden Viscaria and As Igor used to say… you’re welcome, problem solved 😀🤣

Congrats! Looks really good. Very interested in hearing your view on this blade

No I quit. I calculated all I've spent last year on gear. I have enough to make different setups. Anything I will buy now is when I need to replace rubbers. I could've have bought 2 or 3 Golden Vis from that money..

 

[disaster3]

I came to the same conclusion… then bought Golden Viscaria and stopped buying other blades 😉
Now I just replace the rubbers

 

[Tyce]

My EJ has come to the point where I just don't know what blade could actually interest me anymore. I've come to the conclusion that almost a year after I started playing again, I still don't know what I want to play with most. Even bouncy rubbers are making a comeback.

There's just two things I can write off: I don't like very stiff blades, and when they are medium stiff they need to have a softer surface.

Also, I learned my FH is too flimsy to make use of a 39d orange sponge on the H3 Neo. 37d on the same blade was significantly easier to access sponge power.
I've had a great session this season, once, where I did manage to get that cracking sound out of the rubber after maybe 45 minutes of preparation in FH drills. And even then, only a handful of balls.
So what I don't know, what will I do with that information? Will I try to learn a more powerful FH, or do I just move to more accessible rubber?
I feel like I'm on the same crossroads, but now with too much info and too many choices 😅
