Can you then not ask your coach?

I don't know what it is, but I want it, too.

Yasaka Atletico Power and Loki LJK ADC Special can be considered good W968 clones as well.

No, really no. Fish scale is just a different texture of the wood. Way, way more important is the density which might have caused the difference.

Maybe I'm then not good enough. That can certainly be the case. But think about this one. Everybody knows that Butterfly blades come factory-sealed. Out there, there are many, many really good table tennis players that can be considered pros or half-pros or ... Do you honestly think they would...

Again and then I shut up: You just cannot attribute any changes of perceived changes in playing characteristics to sealing if you have not two identical rackets of which one only differs in a layer of sealant and you can compare them one by one consecutively. Anything else is urban legends.

In order to attribute a change of feeling to the sealing agent, one must prepare two very identical rackets and compare them one by one. So, the blades (of course same model, same manufacturer) must be equal in frequency, in total weight, core layer thickness, etc. Both rubbers (of course same...

What I tried to say is if you are really sure that sealing a blade is still noticeable even though layers of glue are applied to both the blade and the rubber. I am of the opinion that the effect of layers of glue is much more noticeable than a thin layer of sealing agent. So the effect of the...

So you really know that sealing the blade weighs more/overrules a minimum of 2 layers of glue on the rubber and 1 layer of glue on the blade?

The DHS blades I would always seal no matter what.

I use the one from Joola.

It is not helpful to change two essential parameters simultaneously and then try to nail an observation down to only one parameter/change specifically.

Yep. I just confirmed with my examples.

Also, the placement and geometry of the yellow line on the handle (where the DHS plate sits within the wood) is not correct. So, the blade is definitely not original.

For a W968? Are you sure?

The design of the SN doesn't look right to me so probably a fake. The original SN's letters and numbers are thinner, sharper and crispier. The dragon looks a bit too large, too.

You will not notice it.

The question is if you can really feel it.

Oh absolutely, I agree.

With all respect, the Yinhe might use the same composition, but really it never is the same blade. Or do you know for sure with sources of evidence that the carbon layer is identical, the sources of the woods are identical, the technique to apply the glue between the various layers is...
