  1. SDC Handmade Blades

    Hi hipnotic, I am just wandering, that for many blades the most usual ply structure is to include harder plies towards the surface. Did you made and/or played blades with reverse order - progressively harder plies towards the core, except that the core is also a soft and light wood (for...
  2. SDC Handmade Blades

    This is an antithesis to the thick balsa core blades... probably the first 5 + 2 veneer blade with this (or even similar) thickness. I guess, I wouldn't be able to use it properly, but I would be very curious to see a video featuring a player, who plays this. Is this blade cut to "Butterfly...
  3. Blade/Rubbers recommendation for a beginner looking to develop basic strokes

    Another extra thought: while doing intense training as a beginner, it is more likely, that you will hurt your equipment to some extent, and as first decent custom setup, I think, that the Yinhe + Palio racket Michael Zhuang mentioned may also worth a try.
  4. Blade/Rubbers recommendation for a beginner looking to develop basic strokes

    I would say, price of the blade is less important - rather its structure and manufacturing quality. These blades are generally very controllable, but powerful enough. Another word on rubber's price/performance ratio: some rubbers are not consistent through their life cycle (e.g. Xiom Vega Asia...
  5. best yinhe blade

    I can confirm, Yinhe N2S is very good - but rather fast and stiff (because of thickness - my specimens are around 6.8mm thick). it has good feeling though, because of the combination of thin limba first layer and thick spruce second layer. For generally slower chinese rubbers, I think it is a...
  6. Blade/Rubbers recommendation for a beginner looking to develop basic strokes

    Interesting combination as well. Yinhe Earth blades are generally not too fast, and they have nice quality. Can you tell me the difference between Palio AK47 blue and Palio Hadou 40+ rubber?
  7. Blade/Rubbers recommendation for a beginner looking to develop basic strokes

    Hi Bach, I have experienced with a few blades and rubbers as well. Maybe not quite the same budget as you mentioned, but I would recommend something like this: Blade: Neottec Voodoo Classic - A good offensive minus rated, somewhat flexible blade to let you practice spinny shots Rubber #1...
  8. SDC Handmade Blades

    May I ask, what wood species have you used for this handle? It looks like a fineline handle (if I got it right, fineline is not a kind of wood, but a method of forming a plank from many thin wood layers before further use), and I like, that there was different kind of wood used for the white...
  9. SDC Handmade Blades

    Unfortunately my hand produce a lot of sweat, and I would like to prevent the handle getting soaked with it, because the handle and the plies are visually too appealing to me to let them get stained with my sweat. There is another aspect to consider regarding lacquering - it hasn't been really a...
  10. Yinhe Galaxy Pro Feeling blade composition

    I ordered a Yinhe 970XX ALC, I got one on the lighter (and slower) side with 1254Hz frequency, so I had the opportunity to also order Yinhe Pro Feeling during the 11.11 discounts. I don't have rubbers for them right now, but I will tell my experiences about it, when they are ready. Volcanic...
  11. Calling all EJ’s !!! List the equipment tried over the last 2yrs

    Hello table tennis lovers, I try to make a good list - I was completely new to table tennis in October, 2019 - since that time, I used these equipment as I tried to develop: Pre-made rackets: Many differently priced rackets from the Decathlon Pongori lineup (value per price-wise pretty good)...
  12. SDC Handmade Blades

    Hi hipnotic, What kind of sealers do you have experience with? I am personally fine with Revolution nr. 3 sealer, but I only used it on more rough handles (I treated a few budget class blades for a few of my coworkers), and not on super smooth handles, like I see on your blades. I guess, on...
  13. Opinion on my new setup

    Hello yousuhika, Thinking about what opinion I may have, it depends on how much experience do you have with custom equipment. If it is your first setup, probably it will be fairly good, but there could be some more fine tuning. I had seen a Russian shop's youtube channel, and they said, AK47...
