I used the Harimoto ALC for about six months. Being used to stiffer outer ALC blades, I felt that the HALC was sometimes a bit too unpredictable. When you really put power into your shots, it isn't any slower than an outer ALC blade. In fact, it can sometimes feel extremely fast, and the ball...

I think the point might be that the text says "thinner" but looking att the pictures it looks like the other way around? Or rather thinner outer veneers. Or?

I think you will see a "over representation" of Donic and Tibhar material in Germany, Cornilleau in France and Stiga in Sweden as well. I guess DHS (and others) in China. It is just how it is. Not that long ago the domestic market was pretty much the only market for a lot of brands and that is...

But will it affect the over all stiffness of the blade?

Reading this and other forums, people ask for blades balanced towards the handle and also bigger handles. The equation seems easy to solve, yet there are really no manufacturer even trying to solvie it.

Weren’t the last batch of HALs slightly wider as well?

Settles the ”sticky” debate though…

The Ovtcharov blade is at least as fast as Timo Boll ALC. It is inner but thicker.

Maybe he thinks Zyre and outer carbon is a good match?

Definitely

Rozena is surprisingly popular in Japan. Also fun to see Vega Europe hang on to a top-ten position month after month.

It is just marketing

ALCs are stiffer. The HAL feels softer. Both are stable enough during topspin rallies. Personally I really like the feeling that HAL gives but I play with an ALC because it is less head heavy.

All this would be brilliant! Handles seems to br getting smaller and smaller all the time. Maybe TT players are differente these days... TTGearLab is doing a fine job describing handles but they always exclude the length of the handle.

The player and coach have stated that the media is making things up. I guess it is possible that they are lying, but it is also possible that media got it wrong in the first place and was a bit sensational trigger happy. We can only speculate.

Looks like he only wanted to sleep (and eat) at home since the swedish team had the preparations in his home town. Thats the story. Maybe we all should just go back to sleep... https://www.expressen.se/sport/truls-moregardh-slar-tillbaka-mot-svt/

I believe the korean made blades are often that size.

And I thank you for it! :)

Enlightening thread.

Thanks! Looks slightly thicker. Or more rounded.
