    Review by 'UpSideDownCarl' on item 'Virtuoso +'

    Virtuoso + OSP Blades, made the old fashioned way: hand made, built after you order it. Blade construction: Limba-Limba-Ayous-Limba-Limba Okay, I think this is the perfect racket for me right now. It is an Off (speed rated) blade. It is fast enough but not too fast. The outer plies are...

    For those who needs faster blade than Virtuoso but prefer 5 ply behavior.

    The topsheet on these rubbers is amazing they really grab the ball well and let you create a lot of spin. This one is medium hard. I have tried this one, and the Stiff and Limber versions. Stiff is a little harder but not too hard. Limber is softer and perhaps too soft or not the right kind...

    Review by 'UpSideDownCarl' on item 'V > 01 Limber'

    So, this rubber was really nice for the first few weeks. Then the sponge seemed to sort of die. Like it had been boosted but lost the boost effect. And then it played very slow until I reboosted it. I don't like to boost. But this rubber needed it after a few weeks. Otherwise I would have...

    Allright. This rubber pretty much rocks. The price is pretty reasonable for how good it is. The topsheet is simply amazing. You get great spin and a ton of control. I feel like I can loop anything with this rubber. The sponge is the one drawback to it. The sponge could be better. But the...

    This is an amazing blade for those interested in a controlled offensive (Off-) blade that has good flex and amazing feeling. I love this blade and am happy with it. My Virtuoso Off-, I have to say, is pretty much the perfect blade. The blade is soft. It has a really high throw angle so it is...

    This is a blade with a ton of feeling. It has more wood feel than any blade I have felt. It has good control and good touch. It is a flexible blade that is great for looping close to the table. It does lose some power away from the table which, I would say, is its only downside. But, up...

    In my opinion this is one of the best rubbers for Backhand. This is my favorite backhand rubber. I had this on my racket and a friend who is a pro was using T80. I asked if I could see how his racket played. He had H3 on FH and I wanted to try that. He used my racket and said, "I like your...

    This is one of my favorite rubbers. The sponge is amazing it lets you feel the ball better and it gives you a greater window for contact. If your contact is a little off you can still really get the ball to sink into the sponge and spin the heck out of it. It is not too fast so it has plenty...

    I would like it if this rubber's sponge was a tiny bit softer. But it works really well. You get a ton of pace for over the table flips with backhand. It is good on forehand as well. The topsheet grabs the ball nicely. I think the sponge is a bit hard for my backhand but it plays great on...

    I guess the downsides of this rubber are price and durability. It would be nice if something that costs that much lasted a really long time. But, table tennis rubbers don't really last that long for the most part. On the positive side of things, I think this is one of the best rubbers out...

    So I tried this blade for about 30 min a week ago. The blade was fine. There was nothing bad about it. It did everything adequately. The dwell time was good so you could get decent spin. The carbon made it so that it was hard to feel the ball. The most glaring thing about this blade was...

    Review by 'UpSideDownCarl' on item 'Timo Boll ZLF'

    The only downside to this blade is, I do think it is a bit expensive. But this is a great blade. I love this blade. This is my blade of choice. It is crisp and the topsheet is hard but the Zylon under the topsheet gives it softness, great dwell time and a lot of spin. When you really dig...
