BTW Why do you hate your Long VX? I used to have a Long V clone blade and I hated bouncy rubbers on it (I am a brick hoarder though, I use 50degrees rubber on BH and 55 on FH). Maybe your issue is not the blade itself but the rubbers.. Maybe you should ask your playmates to let you try their...

You're lucky m8, it's real hard to find a training a competent training partner that is willing to work with less skilled not professionally trained players, mostly because the latter play mostly in their respective clubs. I know that in Gdansk, owners of channel table tennis experts have open...

My thoughts exactly.

I have same EJ disease. I keep collecting blades, but I only wound up using one of them which is neither fastest, not most control focused, not flexiest, nor stiffest. Blades can be work of art. I buy them, sell them and I even made few of my own. The problem is that as you mature as a player...

I think if he trained with high school girl team he might have had an ulterior motives ;);)

It's dead circle of lack of funding. One get poor results because there is lack of funding. Government (or any other governing party) will not fund anything that does not yield measurable results. There is one good catch though. In most of countries you can get funding by not specifying sport...

Dr. Real? Or real Dr? Either way we need both of those in the current sad table tennis less times...

Smallest of hints though. When you will be testing those blades keep in mind that what you feel while playing is determined by two factors, namely rubbers and blade, not the blade itself. Some people use different rubber for BH and FH, if you don't like someone's setup in FH try twiddling the...

Alliexpress. Consider Sanwei Target 90, it's easier to use.

It's a typical combination though. It's hard to make a good balsa blade without carbon extra kick. I've made like 2 of those, they were very good in terms of feel and spin, but they were drastically lacking in terms of speed (ash, ash, balsa, ash, ash) XXX. carbon balsa core carbon XXX, are very...

How do you practice? Are you only playing with a friend, are you playing in a club or are you doing regular fed drills. If something might be causing incostistency it's technique I would wager or the equipment is too fast :| If you don't have access to fed drills then get a bucketful of balls...

That were my thoughts exactly. That's why I asked the question about weight. 86g for Clipper clone is a little low I think. Most clippers listed in frequency database were around 89-90ish. Those with higher frequencies were as heavy as 91g. OP said his Fextra was 86g.

That's pretty light I think :| I think that heavier blades tend to have more speed, but that is very complicated topic, there is more than one thread about this on this forum. I agree with Kolev too, speed comes mostly from technique and accelaration I wouldn't downgrade to 5ply though. You...

Then get a Clipper. How thick is your fextra, what's it frequency (http://mytabletennis.net/forum/expressing-relative-blade-speed_topic79533.html)?

Sanwei Carbon expert series, including Sanwei Hynover and Paramid (it might have been mentioned) It's Hinoki, Birch, Kevlar Carbon, Core material, kevlar carbon, birch, hinoki (https://www.sanweisport.com/english/?prod=hynover). Also it's interesting that they now use "stats styling" similar...

Has anyone tried new Arthur rubbers? They seem to somewhat follow Xiom naming scheme (Europe, Asia) and have black sponge. I am curious about how the perform. Also Loki says that God of War I is Hinoki+Spruce+Carbon+Paulownia+Carbon+Spruce+Hinoki. Is there any chance that OP would comment on...

I've owned fake Long V, which had same composition, played great, buy may have played worse than original one. I also used numerous Clipper clones (which Long 3 looks like to be). The clipper like structure was more woody, more viby and easier to control in high gears than Long V structure. Also...

Ma long 3 is 7 ply all wood.

Makes sense though, moar event more money XD
