Quan Shi Bao is amazing

[Kilogramme]

I’m a player from China and a frequent viewer of the "Quan Shi Bao" videos; they often teach techniques and host challenge matches featuring retired athletes or top-tier amateurs.
I just checked the price for this racket on Taobao and Douyin (the Chinese version of TikTok), and it’s around 500 RMB.
Personally, I wouldn't recommend buying it. These "influencer rackets" endorsed by athletes are usually produced in collaboration with small factories to maximize profit margins. The manufacturer, "Haitian," has poor production quality.
For that 500 RMB price point, I could choose an Innerforce ALC, or—by adding a little more—a Long 5X, or the "Thor" (Leishen) Liang Jingkun ADC model (I highly recommend this one; it plays beautifully).
That’s the case with many of these influencer-promoted rackets in China; the target audience consists mainly of middle-aged viewers who don't really study the gear or understand how the equipment actually compares in terms of performance.
If the OP finds it plays well, it’s likely just a good match for their specific style, or they happened to get a particularly good individual unit.
In short, you won't find amateur players around here using "Quan Shi Bao" products—they are simply overpriced.View attachment 42462

Thanks a lot for your review. Indeed, outside china it is hard to get info on those brand. I think Loki is a genuine good brand. You named LJK blade, I think Loki made them, maybe Loki is named differently in china ?

I have read somewhere that Quan Shi Bao rubber (blade I have no idea), are made in the factory of a recognized brand without specify which one. I have not played with the rubber yet, but the Speed 08 (red sheet), sponge looks very good and promising. Lots of small bubble/cavity in the sponge. The F1 (black sheet) sponge, looks like a regular chinese blue sponge.

Loki has the same name in China, their catalogue is in Chinese and English and they promote their endorsement of chinese player on Instagram.

Yes, but we usually call it by its Chinese name, "Lei Shen". Lei Shen means the god who controls thunder and lightning in Chinese mythology.
I highly recommend this brand because I’ve bought over 10 of its blades, ranging from budget options of just dozens of yuan up to the 700-yuan W81 Zhou Yu Special Edition.
Every blade in its price range outperformed my expectations by a wide margin.
It’s a young emerging brand, and Wang Hao — the legendary master of Reverse Penhold Backhand — holds shares in the company.
At first, its marketing mainly centered around Wang Hao; later it signed several national team players as brand ambassadors.
What impressed me most was its factory footage in promotional videos: rows of large automated machines and spotless, tidy assembly production lines.
In my opinion, it will eventually grow into a domestic rival to DHS in China’s table tennis market.
Some established Chinese brands like Friendship 729 are state-owned firms. They tend to be complacent and lack innovation, which is why I’m really fond of this new young brand.

Its only downside right now is a messy, confusing product lineup. To sort out the connections between all its models, you have to dig through lots of Chinese materials and reach out directly to Lei Shen’s product manager — I have his contact details.
Here are some of Lei Shen’s most cost-effective blades:

1. W81 outer carbon (200 yuan, I own 3+): It delivers roughly 70% of VIS’s performance.
2. LJK ADC: More power and spin than Butterfly Innerforce series. Perfect for amateurs who love aggressive, looping rallies from wide angles.
3. W81 Zhou Yu Special Edition (700 yuan): Matches the performance of Fan ZhendongALC, with much smoother spin exchanges.
4. Sting China (140 yuan): An unbeatable budget pick.
5. Qilin K series: Extremely affordable, more than enough performance for new beginners.

Thanks that is priceless info. Thanks a lot.

@Zwill I happened to test Speed 08 and Power F1. I will detail my first review later. But fresh tease. You were right. The grip level is insane. I never experienced that before. Not on H3, not on Rakza Z, nor Vega China and anything. First topspin on underspin the F1 grabs the ball and lift it to space, so surprising at first. I was positively surprised by both rubber. I did not boost. And thank god I did not. Wouah.

🏓 Review – QuanShiBao Power F1 & Speed 08 (First Session)

I finally mounted the Power F1 on my forehand and the Speed 08 on my backhand, both on a DHS Hurricane Long 5 Golden.

Both rubbers were brand new and completely unboosted. I seriously considered boosting the Power F1, but in the end I wanted to see how they performed straight out of the package.
I played one session against a player who no longer competes officially (rated around 1100 in France), but who recently beat a 1900-rated player in a tournament. So although his official rating isn't representative, the level was high enough to get a solid first impression.

⭐ First impressions

The first surprise came before I even started playing: both rubbers are genuinely tacky. The ball sticks easily to the topsheet when you lift it.

The second surprise was the sponge on the Speed 08.
I wasn't expecting it to be so porous. I even took a picture comparing it to the sponge of the DHS Hurricane 8-80, which is already considered one of DHS's most dynamic sponges. Visually, the Speed 08 goes one step further.
(Top H8-80, bottom Speed 08)

🔥 Power F1 (Forehand)

🚀 Speed & Dynamic Feel

This was probably my biggest surprise.
For a Chinese rubber, it's surprisingly lively without any booster.
It still has that unmistakable Chinese feeling, but you don't need to put your whole body into every shot just to make the ball go.

That's what makes it so enjoyable.
It's definitely not a European tensor, but it's also nowhere near as "brick-like" as an unboosted Hurricane 3.

🔄 The Grip... It's Incredible

This is probably what impressed me the most.
I've played with:
Hurricane 3 Neo
TG2
Vega China
Rakza Z
several ESN tensors

...and honestly, I've never experienced grip quite like this.

On backspin balls, the rubber simply grabs the ball.
My first few opening loops actually surprised me. I sent several balls way too high because the rubber makes lifting backspin almost effortless.
During the first few rallies, I literally launched several opening loops into orbit.
It definitely takes a little adjustment.

🎯 Control

Another very pleasant surprise.
Despite being more dynamic than a traditional Hurricane 3, the rubber remains extremely linear.
You always know why a shot was good or bad.
Unlike the TG2, which I had tested just before, I never found myself wondering:
"What's the ball going to do this time?"
The behavior is very predictable.
The throw angle changes as you engage the sponge, just like on a Hurricane 3, but in a much smoother and more natural way.
For me, that's one of its biggest strengths.

⚡ Power

No issues whatsoever.
When you commit to the shot, there's plenty of speed.
The sponge is firm enough to hit very hard without ever feeling like you're losing control.
Again, everything feels linear and predictable.


🆚 Compared to a Boosted Hurricane 3

I completely understand why some people compare it to a boosted Hurricane 3.
Personally, I'd add a bit more nuance.
Yes, it has that unmistakable Chinese feeling.
Yes, it offers outstanding control.
Yes, it produces a very heavy ball.
But it still feels different.
Even after several layers of Haifu booster, a Hurricane 3 always keeps that very hard, brick-like sensation.
The Power F1 is still firm, but it has a touch of elasticity that makes it much easier and more enjoyable to play.
To me, it almost feels like playing with a modern Hurricane 3 that's already perfectly tuned, without ever needing to boost it.


🔥 Speed 08 (Backhand)

The Speed 08 also left a very positive impression.

🚀 Speed & Dynamic Feel

It's clearly more dynamic than the Power F1.
I'd place it somewhere around the level of a boosted Hurricane 8-80.
It has plenty of speed.
In fact, I think it's slightly faster than my Hurricane 8-80 37°.

📈 Throw Angle

This was probably the only aspect that bothered me a little.
The throw angle is definitely higher than the Hurricane 8-80.
Personally, I switched away from Tenergy 19 because I wanted a lower throw, which is exactly what the H8-80 gave me.

So this required some adjustment.
I struggled mainly on:
short, soft serves
topspin serves
blocking
I sent several balls long before realizing I simply needed to close the racket angle more.

That being said...
The higher throw also has clear advantages.
Opening against backspin becomes incredibly easy.
From mid-distance, it's also very easy to produce powerful backhand topspins with excellent safety.

🎯 Control

Once again, a very pleasant surprise.
Like the Power F1, the Speed 08 feels very linear.
You immediately understand what you're doing right or wrong.
I genuinely think this is the kind of rubber that rewards good technique and helps players improve.

🏁 Final Thoughts

Honestly...
I expected these rubbers to be good.
I didn't expect to be this impressed.
The Power F1 was a huge surprise.
Right now, I'm seriously considering making it my permanent forehand rubber.

It offers many of the qualities I loved in a boosted Hurricane 3 while being easier to use and, most importantly, requiring no booster.

The Speed 08 is also an excellent rubber.
I'm simply a little less enthusiastic because its higher throw doesn't quite match what I'm currently looking for on my backhand.
I think that's more about personal preference than any real weakness.
Some people compare it to a Dignics 09C at a fraction of the price.
Since I've never played with the 09C, I can't comment on that comparison.

However, compared to the rubbers I know (Hurricane 3 Neo, TG2, Hurricane 8-80, Vega China, Rakza Z, and several ESN tensors), I can confidently say one thing:
👉 QuanShiBao has been an outstanding discovery, and the Power F1 is probably the biggest equipment surprise I've had in years.

Additional bit of info, both rubber are too light for my liking. Now my racket is too light. Less head heavy than my liking. Only 183g my racket. I am used to play over 190g. For people who wants light rubber it is good. Not to me. I might find some weight to glue on top of the blade to rearrange the balance to my liking.

I might switch back to H8-80 on BH, it should increase weight.

I am struggling with the balance, especially on BH. On FH I can adapt more easily, but I still don't like the current balance.
