Yes, this is very interesting topic considering there are small blade makers who are able to deliver this on request (I know at least about two in Europe who are doing this as pretty much "routine" job - it's a question if their standards for balance, manufacturing precision and cost...

I'm afraid we are approaching zone where any further blind analysis over the internet starts to be wasting of your time. You have no idea what is my level and playing style, I have no idea about yours. Yes, we would now start exchanging youtube videos as saying "look to that match not that one...

I definitely second recommendation of YSE, superb manufacturing quality and feeling of the ball. You can practice very precise game and it helped me a lot to gain confidence again in the match play. It's slightly slower then Butterfly Primorac or Tibhar Stratus Powerwood (both OFF- or slightly...

I always seal outer layers of my blades, apply thin layers of varnish (I use Joola, Stiga also sells one and basically any well selected varnish for wooden surface will do the job) and use sand paper again because I also encountered splinters (if that is what you mean). But this is common...

This actually complements my tests nicely because I also ordered Sanwei Fextra 7 for test and waiting for delivery. So I can keep my hopes high (because some testers suggest it's also faster then usual OFF-/OFF 5-ply blades!) When it comes to H301: go for it if you like harder outer ply woods...

Well not so much to tell. I've came back to TT after 15 years of hiatus, now in my mid 30s. I always plaid with all wood blades in 38mm and then 40mm celluloid eras and I never really spent money on TT equipment (as student;) so I wanted to test some things in between the seasons. I originally...

Sharp 720x960 looks good to me...

Great job Giangt! (For real "larger" resolution go to the source: https://www.facebook.com/307891739609779/photos/pcb.517077645357853/517077602024524/?type=3&theater December 2017 and poster in the background means World Tour finals in Astana?)

Yes indeed there are but not from Butterfly or Nittaku or similar well established EUR/JP brand, you need to go to Chinese brands like DHS, Sanwei, 729, Yinhe, Palio etc. I actually did the same journey as you proposed last summer to come back to 5 and 7-ply all wood blades for the season, Was...

Sure, you can buy yours e.g. here: https://www.prott.vip/Product-Details.aspx?productcode=VS

Still the same, some wood, some ALC, nothing more from Stiga than Infinity handle, he is using it for years... https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/showthread.php?6502-Fan-Zhendong-equipment&p=165298&viewfull=1#post165298

Sorry, I should have resisted to react. All topics about FZD's blade as well as "why is China so dominant" should be banned on this forum, there is like dozen of such threads opened every year with the same content and conclusions:)

Could you be more specific? You are not convinced that FZD used blade with ALC layer at Team World Cup or you don't think he uses it at all? Or in opposite you are not convinced that he is using Infinity (or other all-wood blade)? You think he isn't using Viscria at all or just that he dropped...

Sorry to inform you that is obviously nonsense. Just look on any FZD blade's photo on the internet, the structure has nothing to do with Infinity. It has clearly visible blue-white ALC layer under the top ply and it's common consensus he is using Viscaria blade just with Infinity VPS handle to...

These old 1st generation plastic balls with seam from DHS are the worst, cracking at any stronger hit or impact (like walls, hard flooring or racket edge) so no surprise you can crack them by hand when finding weak point. Don't buy them, they are the worst on the market right now, ABS and other...

Google says "Date of Birth: 23.07.1992"

Basically whole European top were playing with red on FH till Tenergy emerged in 2008 (including Boll, Samsonov, Schlager, Ovtcharov, Saive, Primorac, Stager...)

I do believe they will follow up XX blade story, there is no way they would be marketing just VPS as FZDs blade if they could charge such premium for "real" FZD signature blade. If XX series sells well we can look for similar trick in 2019...

All the sources (including those close to CNT) confirms that, what is your theory or intel?;)

Yes, what he saves on blade he spends on customized handle so they are on par;)
