http://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/tibhar-evolution-el-s I'm currently using Tenergy 05 on both sides but would love to try something new with a little less speed on my backhand. I've been looking into possibly changing to the Tibhar Evolution series and this would be a great chance to do...

Kalinikos Kreanga...

Great news! I bought a batch of these after reading Baal's review and they are very impressive, up there with Nittaku Premium for sure. The problem I've had is that nobody want's to try them out over the Xushaofa and Butterfly 40+ balls that are used in the local leagues. Hopefully this...

SOLD: Avalox P700 and P500 blades Selling Avalox P700 and Avalox P500 blades. Avalox P700 - Flared handle - 87 grams - 7 ply (limba-meranti-ayous-ayous-ayous-meranti-limba) - Perfect condition, used only a couple of times before settling on a different blade - TTDB...

This article on ooakforum may be useful - http://ooakforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=7194 It's a little old but a lot of the classic blades are on there, it's certainly a good reference point!

I can highly recommend the Avalox P500 and Avalox P700 blades ;) mainly as I have them for sale currently on eBay :) haha. In all honesty, both blades had excellent touch and nice dwell. The P500 is an outstanding 5 ply blade while the P700 is 7 ply and plays a lot faster. I was a big fan of...

I'm UK 9 in general trainers (Cons, Adidas, etc...) The last TT shoes I owned were actually Adidas many years ago. I think the rule of thumb with the Mizuno Wave Drives are to go 1/2 a size smaller. I do however have narrow feet, the 8.5 Wave Drive's I own fit my feet perfectly.

I bought my Wave Drive's 1/2 a size smaller than my UK size as I read somewhere that Mizuno shoes are slightly larger in size. I'm usually a size 9 but bought 8.5 (27.5 Japn size) and they fit perfectly!! I hope that helps somewhat :)

The new Boll ALC blades have the green hologram dot and also a new print on the blade face. The 2017 Butterfly catalogue shows the new printed design below. I've seen one of the new ALC blades with this design and the green dot. Here's a link to the catalogue also if anyone is interested -...

I own / used to own a Nittaku Magic solution blade from late 90's, I lent it to a friend of mine and have been trying to get it back off him for the past month or so. That blade had different outer veneers for forehand and backhand.

Top advise, thanks Carl. Do you happen to know how the P700 and Boll ALC compare in terms of speed?

Thanks for the replies, been very helpful :) Considering the price (which I hadn't initially noticed how expensive it was) I couldn't justify buying it new to try out

I've been extremely happy with my T05 purchase, still can't believe how well they play without having to constantly speed glue like the old days. I could have possibly gone for 05FX on the backhand for that extra bit of control but that's something I may look into when I replace the rubbers down...
