Hi, I'm selling four carbon blades that I don't use anymore. I want to avoid the hassle of sending equipment abroad as it increases the risk of damage, loss. Shipping in India (chargeable) is convenient for me. Buyers can pay me via Google Pay. 1) Andro Treiber Z straight with 5Q and MX-S...

I bought Stiga Nostalgic all-round with Fastarc G1 and Aurus Select. The blade is very good. It's way faster than an all-round blade with good control. The top layer seems hard while playing but there is good dwell time too. I love it on the backhand; you can flip easily, block and counter...

Thanks, Yogi. How is Nostalgic offensive? Avalox P700?

Hi, I use Xiom Zeta Offensive, a fast 7-ply offensive wood, in combination with medium hard rubbers. I rely more on my backhand to open up and and my forehand is still a work in progress as far as looping is concerned. I can flip well from the backhand. I'm looking for an all-wood blade which...

It that Yasaka Alnade

How is it different from Clipper, or other 7-ply all-wood blades? I would like to know if it as stiff as Clipper or Force Pro.

Yes, for now the search is over.

In the options listed above, Hexer Grip seems to be is the most balanced. It's quite spinny. I'm not sure how it will go with the blade that you have though.

Just wondering if it's only me who finds 5Q and Acuda Blue P2 far more reliable than the Evolution series, new Aurus Prime and Select and Rasanters. It's amazing the consistency old-generation rubbers can produce over today's rubbers. I started playing TT a lot later than most players, so my...

It should be fine to use. Water-based glues are like that.

Hi, I would love to have an opportunity to try the new blade from Xiom. I have reviewed some products; you can check them under my profile. A. I have been playing table tennis for almost two years and have had some informal coaching. B. In terms of blades, I have tried and possess the...

Nexxus EL pro 48 is really fast. I'm struggling to control it on the backhand on my carbon blade Sanwei F3 pro. It's a very good rubber - good spin, powerful. Awesome for counter hits and away from the table. It would work better for me on all-wood blades, I guess.

I haven't used any Butterfly blades till date. I just got Sanwei F3 Pro and I love it. Coming from all-wood 7-ply blades, I wasn't happy with the muted feel from F3 Pro initially, but I've got used to it now. It's a very balanced blade. I'm using Hexer Powergrip (forehand) and Gewo Nexxus EL Pro...

Indeed, it is awesome. It feels almost like an all-wood blade.

11-7 to Tom.
