As title stated can stabilized burl be used as a top ply in blade building or does stabilization cause it to be unusable and ruin the characteristics and feel possessed and are only good for handles and decorations Are all Burl's stabilized with some sort of polimer or some are natural and can...

Hi Guys, last year I picked up tabletennis again after 15 years, I noticed that some things have changed, mainly the ball and tensor rubbers I guess. I'm an average player with a rating around 1300. I like to attack double wing, spinning as well as driving. Pushing and short play are one of...

Hi, I wanted to get a 7-ply Allwood offensive blade and I got flustered with all the options in the market today. with that said I wanted to come up with a shortlist to serve as a starting point in deciding what to get. Budget is not a problem I am willing to spend some money provided that what...

Hi guys, Have anyone tried more than 1 of Andro's 7-ply blades: CS7 Tour, Core 7 Off+, Timber OFF/S? They are all limba-ayous blades between 6.7-7mm. Is there any material differences or differences to head shape/size? I was looking for something a step up from my Clipper/Adidas and saw some...

Hello, I just picked up another Viscaria and I noticed that the core ply is not a single sheet of wood. Rather, it is two pieces spliced together. This is the kind of thing I see with my cheap $10-20 China blades. Have never seen this on any of my nicer stuff. Even my two $40 Sanwei blades...

Back in the day I remember playing for a while with a rubber that had a multilayered sponge. Maybe it was from TSP. I think the idea was to have something that felt like a soft rubber in passive strokes that didn't bottom out too easily in more active engagement. I didn't adapt to it well...

Hi guys I don't like much head heavy blades because I find it compromises a bit manueverability close to the table. I feel a bit uncomfortable with it. Then I was wondering what were the blades that felt the lightests (5 ply blades, all wood, no balsa) when playing. Rubber weight affects the...

Let's assume both blades are all-wood. I know 7-ply blades are usually faster than 5-ply blades, but there are always exceptions. I am interested to know the difference in characteristics between a comparatively 'fast' 5-ply blade like those with hard/Koto outer layer, versus a comparatively...

I just got two new blades and I can’t find anything on the composition of them: 1) Yasaka Sweden Extra 2) Yasaka Silver All Wood Attached are pictures of the plies. Both are 5-ply all wood blades. I read that Sweden Extra has anegre (anigre) as an outer ply, but nothing on the inner plies...

Hello Guys, I am new to this forum. I was wondering if someone could help me out with an issue i am facing. I have a Butterfly power 7 fl ply OFF+ which is quite old but i am skeptical about its condition. The ply still have the power but bubbles seems to set in when rubber is applied. I have...

Hey guys, so I have been thinking about my equipment... In general I like it, most things are good, some things could be better. I really like my H3 for looping against blocks and so on, it works really well. Opening up works too but something I think the sponge does not really help me although...

Hello, everyone, For quite some time now I've felt that my stokes are lacking control and consistency regarding positioning of the ball on the table. While my shots are powerful and quite spinny, it doesn't have that positioning of the ball I wished it had. For example, I recently played with a...
