Are re impact blades worth the extra money

[bones]

Been reading up on the re impact blades and they talk a good show but are they actually worth the extra money.

I want precision and control from a blade much more than I want speed and because of elbow problems I find a light set up much more comfortable to play with.
So with that in mind is a re impact blade worth the extra dollar.

If you email Achim Rendler (the man behind Re-Impact) he will probably build you a blade to your exact requirements in terms of playing characteristics and weight distribution and grip to help with your elbow issue. Those factors are worth the cost in my opinion. I had a great time playing with his Titan blade sold under the Dr Neubauer brand, and I know a couple of other guys that play with Re-Impact blades in our local league who love them. The Preference blade seems to offer the most control for an all round game not too far from the table.

Thanks for that, interesting.

I probably should have mentioned that I tend to play very close to the table, in fact practically on it!
Playing the ball pretty much straight off the bounce but would consider myself an all round player happy to push, block and smash when each is appropriate but nearly always at the table.

Thanks for your reply.

What is Re impact blades?

Just a brand of blades, usually popular with long pips players. Many are combination blades with 2 different t speeds.

I have some and have used some others... what I can say is, they were well made but did not fit my style. Quality shouldn't be an issue, however the playing traits may not suit you
