Yes. They can shred top plys of blades that aren't sealed and sealing may not be enough unless you use some kind of polyurethane that completely changes the way the blade plays. If not for that small detail they would be great. A good quality glue like Finezip is just not that difficult.

If it's s-1 I want to know where he met his wife.

In the spirit of Rule 20, you are relieved of the responsibility to buy a new blade every week if you agree to buy two sheets of every version of Dignics that Will undoubtedly be introduced.

They support Rule 20.

I am posting this from Google Chrome.

I've never tried the Mitzutani blade so maybe there is something about it that is quite different from composite blades I've used. But I've played with the ZJK-ZLC and sZLC blades (belonged to clubmates). They are nice and if I bought one I suspect in about a week it would feel perfectly...

They are blades designed for exactly the same kind of player and in my experience the main difference is very very slight differences in handle shape and handle feel. It is possible that with a blind fold you would not easily be able tell the difference of which was which if they had the same...

OK, we are talking about controlling your loop with very fast blade. You mentioned the range of blades you were interested in but in the OP never mentioned what aspects of the game you were looking to "control". In my experience anything that gives you a kind of high trajectory off a composite...

All equipment choices are trade-offs. A rubber/blade may improve your execution of one phase of the game but make another phase more challenging. That fact relates a bit to what Kuba Hajto said.

A very slow blade can be great for return of serve (andxserve too) and yet make you erratic when you try to spin from mid distance. A very flexible blade may be a little dodgy for blocking from close in. There is more too, but this is the kind if thing I was getting at. All equipment choices...

Rule 12 applies here or at least has explanatory value. To whit: Recognize that no matter how you think you look like when playing in your mind's eye, in reality you are probably not that good. The rules were delivered by the Table Tennis Gods, who see all and know all. Sadly for some, and...

It's a good question. Control of what? Short game and serve return? Blocks? Landing loops on the table? Is it simply the inverse of speed or is their more to it? And how do you measure it in any sort of objective way? It's a term that people throw out without any way of quantifying it...

Not really. Chinese and European players these days play at about the same distance and have pretty much the same intention on their shots. Spin is spin, power is power. Chinese tend to use hard tacky rubbers that are boosted but less springy, as opposed to Europeans who generally play with...

Excellent advice, but not one of the Rules delivered by the Ping Pong Gods, at least not quite so directly. They strongly hint at that idea in Rule 27 which states that you are not allowed to believe that the next blade (or rubber for that matter) that you buy will actually make you better.

Some people have enquired how they can comply with Rule 20 after they have identified the perfect blade (for example I have played with Viscaria since 2007). Recall that Rule 20 states: "The correct number of blades to own is n + 1 where n is the number you own now. An exemption can be made for...

The OP is REQUIRED to get a new blade. Rule 20 states that: The correct number of blades to own is n + 1 where n is the number you own now. An exemption can be made for players in committed relationships, in which case the correct number is s-1, where s is the number of blades that causes your...

If you use a good glue like Finezip it is not necessary for most blades. My favorite blade was made in 2008. It is in great condition.

Rule 27. While it is allowed and perhaps even mandated to own an insane number of blades, it is not allowed to believe that the next one you buy will appreciably improve your level.

I probably should.

Control of what?
