some of the blades I own(ed) https://www.flickr.com/photos/146336316@N03/albums
Wow, really nice photo collection!
Which all-wood blade is your favorite, and why?
Also, which composite blade is your favorite, and why?
Seems like you've used a lot of blades of both categories that I'm interested in.

Wow, missed that collection before. It's 41 blade (including fake Viscaria 
). Besides questions from John Le I am also interested how long did it take for you to buy and try all of them?

My primary setup is the ZJK ALC that I loop and rpb with quite comfortably.
My experimentation setup is this Yasaka YEO7P. It's heavier than the ALC and helps me get into better form.
Before hand I was using a dhs premade, surprisingly actually a decent off- setup. It's my first ever racket with a real backhand rubber, but I didn't even peal off the protective film on the back initially because I never use that side. However, the Wang Hao logo on the butt of the handle eventually converted me from long time tph to rpb. In a way, this inexpensive racket elevated my game more so than anything else.
Most interestingly though, I used to play with an one-ply hinoki round-headed jpen, BTY Senkoh 6500, still glued with its original sriver rubber!

I moved from Stiga to Victas and until the recent stay-home policy I have been playing on a Victas ZX-Gear In.
This is a very nice blade with attention to detail. Weight is 86g.

Nice. Looks like a Limba top ply and how does it feel on short play as compared to when you are looping. Does it feel like it has gears: control on short, you put a little more power in and a lot more power comes out?

Hi Carl. Yes, it does feel like a classic 5-ply wood blade when playing at a lighter pace. And when I swing harder I get a little higher gear. It’s not a really fast blade, but the feel is quite nice and took very little adaptation coming from an allwood blade. Nicely sanded wings from the factory, and it’s apparently pre-sealed — super smooth blade face. Vibrations are well controlled. Nicely balanced blade.

My turn.
So here you have my bats, or better to say, the one I use for training and in competition then the 2 other to test different feeling.

All with T80 fx 2.1.

That's my lady, she's a keeper. Crispy 7ply that has good dwell time. I would expect stiff 7ply to not have such a good dwell time, but the ball stays plenty long on the bat. The Gambler rubber is dead though, it started squicking
It was great rubber when it lived though.

There is a review on YouTube for this Victas ZX-Gear In blade. The review is in German, so I was only able to watch the testing. Speed looks like medium and throw is somewhat high. Nice sound on topspins.

Oi. I don't think I've posted here since 2015 when I was playing with hurricane hao III c-pen. Then later Treiber z - Fi - this.
Xvt Zlc Hinoki. (Amultart clone, however probs a bit slower and more control) Pros and cons of all the changes tbh. Slightly weaker (or slower) on third ball killers than the treiber z (which could become an issue in the far distant future when I reach world Tour, puns intended). Not a counter hitter like hao iii either. But my loops and openings have quite a noticeable increase in spin and control, breaking pace has never been easier, and overall I think it suits my playstyle the most.
As a side note, I choose the lightweight and slower Bh rubber (red) due to blade weight and my 'less developed bh'. Might get swapped some day, but it's a fun all+ off- ish rubber, with great control on just about anything, even moderately suitable for chopping :>

Getting reminiscent and posting Batos light toothpick Beast Mod pic.
85 grams start weight - bumped up to nice 91 grams with a little weight down low before grip tape, that made it 94.5 grams.

I got a Dianchi D 39 as well. I try it soon.
Did you glued them without boosting first? Did you boost it after the boosting effect disappeares?
