Cool I'll add to the list in a bit thanks!! Will also check a bit online to get more info anyways!

Thanks! I had the waldner all indeed here, many people in our club use it and also the All+ version, but what's Interesting is that if I ask AI, it says the dicon is faster (OFF-) but you mention the opposite. I'd rather trust the human here haha I do wonder why that is, just a hallucination? :)

Okay cool thanks, and what about the origo and expert II? Faster or slower?

I love this blade and it's my favorite 7 ply, many people say Long 3 but I didn't enjoy the handle, feeling was great though, price not so much haha I didn't add it because it's 7 ply and OFF+ but always good to mention it, thanks @Chang !

Thanks @Sedis !! OSP is certainly a brand I have no experience with since in the netherlands I have not met anybody with those blades, but I have now read some articles and people seem to really enjoy them, so perhaps you could share a bit of your experience with the brand and those blades...

Ah 2 new brands I didn't consider! Great thanks @SwingRobo ! Are there any other Cornilleau or Mizuno blades that you would consider? And any personal thoughts on the experience from the above? :) When I check it did feel like the fortius could be on the OFF+ side of things?

Thanks @Table10Ice ! I have not tried the Diva, Echo, Stiga energy and Mizutani, how would you describe them and where would they fit with the blades I mentioned? Faster? Slower? In between? The latika I considered before I bought my acoustic some years ago but was harder and I prefer softer...

Thanks @belllfador ! Since I'm not familiar with the Yinhe and Dr. NB ones, is it the case that you have personal experience with all of them? And in that case, what could you share on feeling, speed/control, and overall experience? Also around the Nittaku blades (goriki and danshi), I did...

Thanks @piligrim ! Since I have not tried this one, what can you say about it's feeling, and speed compared to the other Donics in there? Seems to me that it would be a bit faster than the persson powerplay?

Edit 3rd March 2026: I have now turned this into a blogpost and will be reviewing more blades in time. To check my 2026 best picks have a look here! https://www.tabletennisequipmenthelp.com/blog/best-intermediate-table-tennis-blades-all-plus-off-minus Hey everyone! 🏓 I'm putting together a...

Sure that's fine, matter of taste, I love them on the other hand, in the differences is the fun of life :)

Agreed, and as others said, we are all amateurs, we all make mistakes and we all know what we want to do but it not always works :D If I could, I would play nationally in the netherlands hahaha Btw, knowing a lot about equipment doesn't mean you can always use it properly hahaha from personal...

And violin for a short time, and Long 3 and also a prototype of PG7. Plus some butterfly ones. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/ma-longs-equipment-pictures-2005-2015.10872/

As a personal principle, I do not recommend any gear or setup just like that. I can name a hundred blades and a hundred rubbers but is that what will fit for you for sure? Without more accurate information on your technique, level, playstyle and previews gear setup I do not believe you can get...

Depending on your level there are many blades that fit what you want. If you can share a bit more on that and also what are blades that you really enjoyed before then I can recommend based on feeling and level :)

In my opinion and I know this is controversial but I believe in what I'm going to say not only because I have seen it in many other beginners but also on myself: If you are a beginner, and have never played at a club, you will need to re-learn many things from past wrong technique and habits...

Oh gosh, what a big mistake, yes thank you for letting me know!! I was doing some updates to the post the other day (some people here asked me to add a couple rubbers to the article) and I use lovable to add the article to the site after I have written them in google docs but yeah this time i...

I'm probably going from Gouda so 4 people could join me in the car @Tyce ;)

I'm going to try to be there! This sounds totally epic and I love the venue, it's a great place :)) Thank so much guys for organising!

Spin depends mostly on your technique, whether you just brush a bit of you truly engage sponge and blade. So let's say 70-80% technique, 20-30% equipment. But because you only asked about the equipment, I'll try to make it at simple as I can: First check the blade's stiffness (elasticity is not...
