remarkable.. don't understand why @hipnotic thinks they're the same kind of wood with a different name.“tung: (Vernicia fordii) used as inner plies; the wood of the tree is lightweight and strong, and is sometimes used as a substitute for balsa or basswood.
e.g., Nittaku Acoustic, Joola Guo”
it says otherwise hereThe properties of different types of wood - OOAK Table Tennis Forum
I've often seen what wood goes into the composition of different blades, and of course, we have a sticky thread dedicated to that topic, but one thingsooakforum.com
From what I gather, the wood people are referring to as "tung" in the TT world isn't actually tung but a hybrid Chinese wood called "shan tong." Info about the wood is here: https://paulownia.pro/en/paulownia-shan-tong/remarkable.. don't understand why @hipnotic thinks they're the same kind of wood with a different name.
My vote goes to BS . Green, blue, red ,yellow brown or whatever it is just a different dye and the rest is sales -BS. 🤣They say it’s basically better in every aspect than blue arylate. What do you think? Is it bs or actually true?
Thanks for the confirmation!Guys, tongmu is hanyu pinyi (phonics in Chinese) which translate to Paulownia (aka kiri)
By the Paulownia exclusion principle, the core can't be both tung and kiriThanks for the confirmation!
If anything this mixup mightve shed some light on the bizarre mystery of why it's been believed that the Nittaku Acoustic and no other blade has a tung tree core. I'm heavily leaning towards it just being kiri (or at least some paulownia variety).
No,no,no,no.My vote goes to BS . Green, blue, red ,yellow brown or whatever it is just a different dye and the rest is sales -BS. 🤣
I got a blade from Hypnotic that has got some red stuff in it which brings me to the next BS, Aramid, Kevlar ,Arylate etc etc etc. what difference does it make ? In the end I still have not managed to beat MaLong 🤣🤣🤣
Bugger ! I got it all wrong again, for many decades I was under the impression that Green was for GO GO GO GONo,no,no,no.
Its like the rgb in computer fans. Red gives more power, Blue is for control(cooling) and Green is like 50/50 of both.
Nah it's like mechanical keyboard MX switches. Blue is the loudest and most 'clicky' sounding. Red is more linear and more quiet. You use red when you want to play TT at night when your wife is in the same room sleeping.No,no,no,no.
