I am not sure if Gambler X3 diamond gold label made the list, but it should be here as well.

I see WAY more G1 with my opponents at the club and at tournaments than Genextion.

Looks like 47-52 degrees hardness if I read it right. I do love the R7 topsheet. I will have to give it a try. I also agree with the comment that it may be quite heavy.

Can anyone tell use what rating is what in the blades? There are 3 ratings which I assume are comparative rating of speed, spin and control? Does anyone know what they are from top to bottom? tia

Any one compared the Victas Koki Niwa carbon blades-the older 4 carbon and the newer ZC and newest ZC inner? Interested in flex and hard/soft feeling comparisons. tia . If you haven't tried I will take what you know about any of the three.

93 grams!!!! Where are the sub 85 gram blades when you need 'em?

Oh to have the luxury of having more than one coach or of having to pick a coach. I would settle for a coach. Anything. Don't have one available (more than another club member offering suggestions) for more than 100 miles in any direction.

I have used RX the most and R7 less so. On my blades RX is not a low throw. I find RX to be very similar to G1 in terms of feel.

I think it is about total weight of your set up and some degree of control. Fast blade speed is good (knowing kinetic energy is more dependent of velocity. KE = 1/2 * m * v^2 At my club almost everyone plays with max sponge.

If you want two blades to be as close to the same as possible, you have to go custom and order two at the same time and talk with your builder so they can use adjacent pieces of wood and know what you want. I see variation is every blade that I have more than one. For commercial blades the...

Lots of posts on all types of variables in table tennis-balls, rubber, blades, etc. I see very little discussion on table tennis tables. We have mainly Joola 3000 tables at the club, but also a stiga 30 mm optima table (which is generally the preference of most of our players-an excellent...

I am sure there is an optimal weight for each blade, but I also think there are optimal weights for the player and the rubber set-up. Having recently gone from LP on one side with max sponge inverted on the other (total weights of 170-175 grams) I am now double inverted with 2.0 sponge on my...

what a fun thread! thanx all. keep it going!

Also a big fan of the Rakza series-I know this is an old thread, but in this day of 120 USD rubbers, I think they generally provide good value. Per the original post: Looping: for spin, rakza 7 Serving: rakza Z Blocking: not sure, 7 or X Driving: rakza X (very linear) Chopping: these are not...

He said it spoils in 2 months, but he plays 10 hours a week! (Kudos on that!). Two months is not bad with that much play.

I agree with ultravisitor-almost no way to improve much playing doubles only. If you can also do some training with a coach yes. Playing doubles is what you do after you have learned the basics. Or if you a senior.

I have used Victas Koki Niwa wood and Yasaka Falck W7 the most. Koki Niwa wood is a looping machine with really good control. Big kick on loops. BUT if you also hit, it feels like a vibrating noodle imo. So style of play really matters. It also has a smaller handle-which I like with smaller...

I am in the early stages of switching to inverted on my BH from LP. I am generally trying 1.9 or 1.8 sponge or occasionally 2.0 for control. I am very early on. No conclusions yet.

That is an unusual combination. I find the slowest 7 ply blades have the most flex (they loop good, but do not hit good). Maybe the yasaka extra offensive 7 ply, but It is not slow IMO. The sanwei parla is not real fast. I don't recall how stiff is was. The JOOLA Tezzo Guardian Table Tennis...

Would love more follow-up with time.
