you aren't getting my point
Responses.like this are why many people in here don't bother to try and help newbies...

But I can read English better than you can write it and I've contributed in an attempt to help, if my input isn't useful, no bother....

I took the time to look (not sure now why I bothered) and your T5000 is a €5 blade in Ali Express and Sanwei Ultra spin are €3 each there also so I think my statement that it's probably not a very good racket is most likely correct. And even still I would bet the biggest issue to be technique.

The Rakza 7 I recommend has plenty of catapult for you and the three blades I recommend to pair would see you with a racket beyond your capabilities that would serve you very well.

You aren't trying to explain it. Your replies so far have been either one-liners or random setups without any arguments why you are considering them.

There's a lot of people on these forums who are more than willing to share their knowledge and ideas with anyone, and want to be trying to come up with a good idea for them. But you need to actually make an effort to ask, converse, explain, describe, elaborate. If not for basic politeness, then at least so these people have something to work with.

Because quite frankly, the only fair answer I can give to your original question (how would this feel) is "different".
You mentioned a lack of speed and spin, what makes you say that? What strokes, opponents, or even venues are you experiencing these problems with? Have you been using this bat for 5 years? Months? Weeks? What have you been using before that and what was good and bad about that? Have you been trying other people's bats to see if you like them?
But also, how often do you play? Do you have a club, coach, training sessions or do you play without any formal training? Any special goals, strong points, weak points we can take into account? Are you limited to Aliexpress or can you use other shops? What is the budget?

Well would you believe it.
I never even heard of Sanwei Gear Hyper before yesterday but I was on the RI website a few minutes ago and i spotted this!


@TheArtistJ this might be of help.

He used it on a Sanwei Parla blade and recommends the 38° sponge.
My opinion is your onto a winner here, go for it.

okay
well, it felt like i moved from a faster racket to a more controled racket , i was using a cybershaped blade with rxton 3 blue and rxton 3 pro black , then i switched to sanwei cc carbon and ultra spin and currently to t5000 and ultra spin , i've been using it for close to 5 months plus now , the spin is decent , but the speed is not there and the vibration is way too much , the only good thing about the setup is that it is very light, it is really nice for punching and blocking , there by giving me enough room to apply my onw force , it is good close range , but when i go to mid distance , the ball doesn't go too far, i always have to apply extra force for counter looping ( it is not a technique issue), i have used other peoples racket before , and the one i loved most was joola joola dynaryz inferno purple and black on joola xylo 5 , it was light , fast and spinny just how i liked it , but i don't have such amount of money for a setup like that , and i am the type of person that prefers going for one brand for the whole setup . yes , i have a club and a coach and i play minimum of 3 times per week. i am limited to onliy aliexpress cause of my budget which is maxof $120

Honest, real real real really real advise. Cross my heart advise:

If boy:
1. Viscaria with Nitakku G1 FH & Rozena BH

If girl: Innerforce with Tenergy 80 FH & Rozena BH

or

Donic Senso V1 Carbon with Bluefire M1 FH / M2 BH.

You can't go wrong with these Gozo approved set-ups.

p/s: Gozo assumes you are under a proper coach. If not, then just buy some china made premade setup.

Gear Hyper is really nice, but not tacky at all. It would certainly go well with Parla as it is a 7-ply, quite fast blade in the OFF-/OFF region.

@Andrea Jiang : Who are your authorized distributors in the US? No paddle palace nor tabletennisstore.us - only place I see it is Megaspin? They've not had the Fextra in stock for quite some time, and don't think they've ever sold the Parla?!

Is there really not a single brand new all-wood 7 ply Sanwei blade for sale in the US?

And not any blue Gear Hyper at all?

I think you have to look in Sweden for this ;)

Sanwei - Fextra is discontinued since at least three years now

Hello dear,

How are you?

Megaspin is our official distributor in the US. You can trust them.

For Parla or Fextra One, you could buy on our official Ailexpress/ web.

Since the US is our main region, our shipping rates to the US are well optimized and tilted.

Regards,

Thanks for the reply. Still disappointing that your sole US distributor carries neither of your 7 ply all wood blades, and zero Gear Hyper in blue. If they did, I'd have already taken advantage of their current Sanwei sale and made an impulse purchase based on the discussion above, with an assembled bat on the way.

And ordering directly from your site is more expensive - especially now with added tariffs - plus added shipping.cost and time.
 
hello , i am currently using sanwei t5000 carbon and sanwei ultra spin , but it lacks the speed and spin i need , and i am planning on switching to yhine v14 pro and sanwei gear hyper rubbers blue and balck , medium hard sponge on aliexpress https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007973812901.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.202b38daTfJwyB&mp=1&pdp_npi=5@dis!NGN!NGN 52815.16!NGN 28979.92!!NGN 28979.92!!!@2103864c17564044244684910e7f3d!12000043101079531!ct!NG!2816675718!!1!0how would this setup feel
@NetProphet is right, it's you that's the issue if T5000 and Ultraspin is slow. Not being mean or anything of course, but that may be the issue

They now call it the Fextra One.
Yes. It's the replacement I guess, but it's a bit different from the old Flextra though. The Flextra One has a bit more weight and power what I recall.

Ah, I see. Given the discussion above, I was more interested in trying out the relatively thin Parla + Hyper pairing anyway - a fun, inexpensive experiment to compare with my current BSS1 + Fastarc setup.
