  1. Stiga AC vs Stiga OC for beginners

    No, I don't say that Stiga AC is a bad blade. Being slow, it has very good control. However, I am saying that the new plastic ball (40+) makes a lot of changes in my perception on "balanced all-round" blades. What I meant by "balanced all-round" is that the blade is capable of doing many types...
  2. Stiga AC vs Stiga OC for beginners

    If you are a penhold player, and want to slow down a bit, I think Yasaka Sweden Extra is a good option. In fact, Ma Lin and Wang Hao used the blade (was named Yasaka Gatien Extra back then) for a few years before switching to another blades. Stiga Offensive Classic is too flexible for current...
  3. Butterfly Primorac?

    Gewo Zoom Pro Off- is the blade. Or you can also try: a. Joola K5, basically a Primorac Off- with "honey-comb" handle b. Donic Waldner senso v1 (yellow handle), basically a Primorac Off- with senso (void) handle
  4. Adidas Avenger 7

    I think few of Adidas blades are now manufactured for ITC. Adidas Challenge Speed and Force are now named ITC Challenge Speed and Force. I don't think ITC keep selling Adidas Avenger 7, but they have ITC Dynarc T7, which is 7 ply allwood blade with heat treated koto as the outerply (as opposed...

    Yes, in her instagram she posted video of her playing table tennis. However, I can't put the link here as this forum stated that I could not do that unless I have more than 5 posts.

    Regarding Yinhe V14-Pro, it is a good blade similar to Viscaria. However, despite the similar composition, V14-Pro is ~0.2 mm thicker than Viscaria, thus felt stiffer and faster compared to a Viscaria. The closer equivalent to a Viscaria is Yinhe Pro-01. It is actually the exact copy of...
  8. Advice on choosing a budget 5-ply all-wood ALL+ blade for my son

    No worry 😃. It is OK to disagree on a particular topic in TT forum. There is no right or wrong here, as we don't know the playing level of the kid, given the limited information. I can understand your explanation regarding Korbel and Offensive S. I read that many beginners use Clipper (or...

    Yasaka Extra 3D is a flexible blade. They are OK with 38mm ball. With 40+ mm plastic ball, they might be too elastic. It is a looping machine but for blocking and smashing, it is not that suitable (it can be done, but it is easier to do so with stiffer blade). Since you already have it, you can...
  10. Advice on choosing a budget 5-ply all-wood ALL+ blade for my son

    I agree with this. Your son has been playing with a premade. So All+ blade is more suitable. If you think Rakza 7 is too fast, you can try Yasaka Mark V. Yasaka Sweden Extra was previously named Yasaka Gatien Extra and was used by Gatien (former world champion 1993). So, it is a good proven...
