  1. Katana Platinum Special CP

    Review by 'Paccheco' on item 'Katana Platinum Special CP'

    This blade is utterly fast. I have a lot of trouble keeping my topspin on the table. Dont even have to use my body. I paired it with Vega Asia Fh Vega Europe BH. It has a medium throw. Using Vega Asia on Cho Tokusen gave me a slightly higher arc. The speed i think is a bit too much. I have some...
  2. Violin

    Review by 'Paccheco' on item 'Violin'

    It was the last blade of the musical instruments line i bought but is by far the best. No vibration, awesome feeling, blocks, topspin, serves...all good. The best experience i had was with medium/hard rubbers like Rakza 7, Adidas P7 and Fastarc G-1(the sponge is hard but top sheet is very...
  3. Acoustic Carbon

    Review by 'Paccheco' on item 'Acoustic Carbon'

    I played with this blade for about 3 months. I tried with Omega IV Asia, FastArc G-1 and S-1. I wouldnt compare this blade to Acoustic but to Tenor. This blade is very stiff with long dwell. Its hardness is something like Tenor on low and medium gear, on power loops and counters it felt too...

  5. Performance P3

    Review by 'Paccheco' on item 'Performance P3'

    Same Package, really grippy as well but way more soft when pressing finger. No smell, very little curl. I could easily reglue with simetry this rubber. when i clean the sponge, despite have softer sponge, i did not damage it just like P7. I used Norizuke San Yasaka Glue on both. Control control...
  6. Performance P7

    Review by 'Paccheco' on item 'Performance P7'

    http://www.tabletennisdaily.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=8079&d=1441850395 Very nice package. Really, really grip and hard when pressing finger. It comes with a plastic package with holes. Doesnt have any strange smell and curls a lot. Regular dome. It really was a struggle to glue...
  7. Tenor

    Review by 'Paccheco' on item 'Tenor'

    A beautiful, well-crafted blade. Everything smooth as butter. No sharp edges. Comes with a very, very thin coat of sealant. A coat of Alcohol based sealant was applied to the handle, just to keep the gorgeous looking of it. At first i thought it'd be a brick in my hand due its weight - 93gr -...
  8. Koji Matsushita

    Review by 'Paccheco' on item 'Koji Matsushita'

    I must say i wasnt impressed by this blade. I had it for 2 weeks. Played about 10 hours with it. Curl P-1R and Rakza 9 were the rubbers. It was the most controlable blade i ever played with. Close, Mid, far from table, i could always returns the balls. The problem was with offensive strokes. FH...
  9. Fastarc S-1

    Review by 'Paccheco' on item 'Fastarc S-1'

    I was skeptical about trying Nittaku rubbers. Despite owning a whole bunch of Nittaku blades i still had nightmares with Refoma and Midship SC. And as a fanboy of Rakza line i didnt thought that there would be similar rubbers to my like. I was wrong. It has 42 degrees. Either sponge and...
  10. Rakza PO

    Review by 'Paccheco' on item 'Rakza PO'

    2 months ago i decided to train with SPs. At first i bought 729 802-40, Stiga Clippa and Adidas Blaze Speed. 729 and Stiga were way too spinny for a full SP play to my like. I sticked with Adidas and then after, in need of more speed, i bought Rakza PO. The firsts session were a disaster. As it...
  11. Omega IV Asia

    Review by 'Paccheco' on item 'Omega IV Asia'

    I gotta be honest, the first time i tried this rubber i did not like it at all. I bought a pair and sold after 2 sessions. Back then, ive just used Rakza 7, they are a lot different to generate spin and speed. -48 degrees i think -Hard, compact sponge with an elastic top sheet. -DOES NEED TO...
  12. Acoustic

    Review by 'Paccheco' on item 'Acoustic'

    I decided to buy it when i got my hand on an Acoustic Carbon. This blade is amazingly controlable yet fast and spinny, i got an urge to know how tis lil brother would perform. I wasnt impressed at first, when knockin ball on bare wood. I wasnt impressed too when i glued Omega IV Asia and...

    Kiri, Energy Carbon, Hinoki. 5 ply. 7.0mm . 87gr 2x Xiom Omega IV Asia MAX An outstanding product. I purchased this blade last week and i must say im surprized. Tried Stigas and Btys powerhouses such as Clipper, RW5, TBALC,Primorac Carbon, etc...but none assembled so well the Carbospeed...
  14. Ma Lin Extra Offensive

    Review by 'Paccheco' on item 'Ma Lin Extra Offensive'

    As everyone mention, the feeling. The feeling with this blade is amazing, i cant describe. Sweetspot is almost entire blade. Mine is 87g. Fast, medium/hard bit of flexure. Control is the best ive tested. 9.5 for sure. I use with Rakza7 max both sides. I can produce monstruous spin in both slow...
  15. Appelgren Exclusive

    Review by 'Paccheco' on item 'Appelgren Exclusive'

    I bought this blade to re educate my strokes. Previsouly i used Rosewood V with 2 Rakzas, way too fast to my level. I paired this blade with two Mark V AD. Yea, it is slow, reaaly slow. But that is just what i wanted. This combo has a really low throw, i mean it, so every shot i have to do the...
  16. Rosewood NCT V

    Review by 'Paccheco' on item 'Rosewood NCT V'

    My first real blade. Previously i was playing with an old TSP Chinese 5-S, All around, lots of vibration and slow. It was a huuuuuuge BOOM to my experience. This blade is as fast as date lenght. At first i tried with LT PLUS BH LT SOUND FH but it was ~meh~. Then i tried H3NEO FH Rakza7 BH...too...
  17. Calibra LT Plus

    Review by 'Paccheco' on item 'Calibra LT Plus'

    WOW This rubber is a dream! Of course, it has its cons but other side of the table really shines! LT Plus is a very hard sponge rubber with medium top sheet i think. It is not tacky but it is grippy. Top spins are a breeze. Loop is tricky due low arc. Full motion text book stroke needed. This...
  18. Rakza 7

    Review by 'Paccheco' on item 'Rakza 7'

    It is awesome BH rubber for all blade. Also very good FH to off/off- blades. It is very easy to vary speed/spin in your game. You can flick, loop, push and drive very well, excells at loop though. It grips the ball so well that will even make a coffee if you want it to. If you are a jack of all...
  19. Extra Special

    Review by 'Paccheco' on item 'Extra Special'

    I used it for 4 months with CH grip. It is heavy, even with some rubber changes. It will take about a week to start stroking comfortably. I used rakza 7fh omega iv asia fh and lt sound fh lt plus bh. With the rakza setup it was good for looping, close to the table with a smooth arc. I felt some...
