Hi Zwill, do you have reliable information about whether this cleaning product can be used or not during ITTF competitions? I became curious, because I have a fairly nitpicky opponent, who says, because I use this product, and if I am not ITTF compliant, then he also can use any stuff not...

I had about a hour with the 75.1 Red ALC + DHS H3 Neo pair. To say the least, I had to be extra careful about my posture, because with this blade, the H3's arcs were much lower than usual - probably because the red ALC fiber added a lot of speed into my shots. I felt the rubbers hard to control...

It seems, nobody (who already read this topic), yet. BUT... there is one, which I have already assembled today. Probably somewhat lighter than the average, but my sample was weighing just 79.4g, but had a bounce frequency of 1564 Hz, so pretty stiff/fast, as we would expect from what it looks...

I ordered Sanwei Super 75 PBO (outer) for $68 per piece, and these also around $48 each with tax inlcuded: Sanwei 75.1 Red ALC (outer), Yinhe Pro 11S, Yinhe Pro 13S.

I just noticed, that she has a new racket now. We will see then, but I hope my suggestions can be helpful later on :)

I think there are a few limitations to consider. While Cybershape's promise for the bigger sweet spot can be something, it will be considerably head heavy, if used with rubbers above average weight , as the balance is already somewhat further away from the handle. Once there will be intense...

With Yinhe Pro 11S, I don't feel I should boost my B2 Golds, on FH, I get a buttery smooth feeling to rack up spin with it (Spruce top layer, inner PLC composite /some material similar to ZLC/ - despite the soft wood, this combination is fast enough, when needed), on BH, I get good control with...

I consider Battle II Gold superior even to Battle II Provincial Blue sponge (which has red sponge for red sheets, only sold by very few sellers). I hope you will be also satisfied with it. It doesn't seem overly tacky at the first time, still the rubber topsheet has excellent grip to let me...

I can admit I am a fanboy to some extent 😜 ...but I am using a good variety of other blades as well, so I am not stuck here without other valuable options.

I don't really care whether it is patented or not, but most of my blades are Yinhe, and they work pretty well :) Yinhe blades (especially the Pro ones) should deserve more attention (and wider distribution).

Here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001781307874.html It was in sale, so I could buy it just under $50, taxes included.

I can just report in with my latest experiences with Yinhe Pro 11S. For me, the 729/Friendship Battle II Gold Edition is a very established elite rubber, so I just put a pair on this blade just a few days ago. The difference between the forehand and backhand side top ply (and the position and...

What do you regard as high friction? Pip heads with ridges and dots don't seem to do the job, only maybe, when the contact is very firm. However, I have Der Materialspezialist Rebellion, which has a smooth surface, but it is slightly tacky in its material, so I can definitely feel the pip heads...

Despite no info about U2S on the official site, it is pretty real and legit. Otherwise turbozed wouldn't have been able to link a video about it. I ordered two of them from GHsports (AliExpress), and the quality standards just meet the original U2 with the obvious difference in having Limba top...

I am still gathering different playing experiences with different materials to let the personalized concept of "the blade" (or a few more of them) grow in me, but I can say, that I won't be shy to use blades even in the weight range of 91-105g (even more, if it would be a defender blade). I have...
