Go for it! I don't feel it's a fussy rubber at all and isn't particularly hard so you don't have to worry about accidentally putting a very hard sponge rubber on a hard and stiff blade

Thanks a lot for that positive feedback!

Sanwei recently invited me to review the final blade in their Trio series and I've naturally responded with an immediate, "Yes!" :D⭐ The Echo and the Parla are both very well constructed blades and I've got another penholder friend who's become incredibly efficient with the Echo and loves it...

Got an answer for you now. It's about 36 degree hardness

A couple of pictures of the backhand - frankly, I could also hold it classically, with my fingers splayed out over the backhand side, but this gives a bit more hitting area.

I'll ask Sanwei about the specific hardness - the packaging doesn't state it. In term I'll grab a couple of pictures for you and also ask Sanwei about the hardness level of the Europe Soft. I checked the packaging and didn't see anything obvious

I’ve been interested in trying out Sanwei’s Su Style Penhold blade line for several years now, so I was pretty happy when they reached out to ask whether I would like to review it – Yes! Absolutely, yes! ⭐ Their Su Style line of blades are designed and developed specifically for penholders to...

I also play a one ply hinoki on one of my setups and have a game based on blocking. Those blades are wonderful for blocking, especially for punch blocks. Put short pips on the blade for added menace 😬

Oh yeah I had forgotten about Giant Dragon premades. At a base level, I'm far more confident that a Chinese-brand premade will be spinnier than a non-Chinese branded premade. I'm less concerned about whether a bat is fast or not simply because it's hard to play without spin in the first place.

Pre-made bats have a (deservedly) horrible reputation among club table tennis players so where might the Sanwei BravoBee Carbon sit within that mix? I’ve seen many during my time and have recommended the Yinhe 01B and Palio prebuilds including the Palio Expert bats as some of the few stars in...

Welcome! Hope all this info helps me make the best possible decision for your game!

Consider the Tibhar Hybrid MK or the Stiga DNA Hybrid M if you want a bit more punch compared to the Sanwei Gear Hyper. There's a drop in control of course from the added bounciness.

Hey! Thanks for the feedback! Not currently focused on the Nitro but I've just reviewed the Froster Pro which could be worth a look from Sanwei's stable? I forgot to properly illustrate in my Prism review that the blade was actually 93g and it weighed 189g when paired with a 35 degree Sanwei...
