Donic Ovtcharov Original No.1 / Senso comparison

So perhaps like the difference between Long V and Fang Bo B2?

Kind of sort of. A lot of people claim it's more like W968 and Long V. I've had Bo B2 blade in my hands for a while and I think that Long V is much better in terms of feel. The gap is much bigger. As I said in the Original Post, "The difference is minimal but it is present". Senso is better if you can get it, it is not something to cry about though. The weight distribution is much different too.

Can you explain more detailed what's the difference between Long V and Bo b2 please?

No. 1 Senso is a great blade in all aspects, though, it has quality control issues which shouldn't be there for that price.

I have two of them and both have warping issues out of the box (one is like 5mm and another one is 1-2mm). Both came from different sources and revisions, one bough used, another one is new. It may be caused by inappropriate storage, but still, the coincidence is quite unfortunate and I would recommend checking your blades when buying. It also might be a gluing method they use, for example, AFAIK hide glue tends to cause warping in humid conditions.

This might not affect the way how they play, at least on our level. I successfully played with the first one for over a year and now using the second one.
Also, although they have the identical weight of 85gr and the same ST handle, they play a little bit differently, the second one is noticeably harder. The overall feeling is still quite soft, though.

And the spin and control you get with the blade are unbelievable.
