In a weak moment of a little spare money burning a hole in my pocket, as opposed to "honey burning a mole in my pocket", instead of buying a nice present for my family, I just bought an ITC Radix Express from Sherwin at Tabletennisspot who has some very good offers on some ITC Blades currently on Ebay (I'm not connected, just appreciative). I read Yogi's review of Adidas' previous incarnation of the Blade which was the clincher for acquiring it. I have used my friends ITC Premier XC before which I found stunningly good so I am eager to hear if anyone has tried both blades and has any observations to share about them?. Thanks / ATB.....
