Change in equipment

[d3ss3n]

Hello friends. So i want to change my current blade which is Donic Epox Carbotec and i want to use a less stiff blade or even an all wood blade. On FH i use Donic Bluefire JP 01 and BH Yasaka Rakza 07. Any suggestion would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance

Looking at your rubbers I assume you are a looper? Given BF JP01 is a medium hard rubber you better settle down with a all wood or wood+ALC blade.

If your going ALC, i have a Timo boll spirit for sale, if you prefer all wood, Xiom offensive, Korbel, stiga off/all classic. They are all good choices

Whats the difference between an ALC and all wood blade?

With the new plastic ball i am experiencing some serious issues. Too much force needs to be applied for rallies

Carbon layer makes the blade harder, more speed.

alc= arylate carbon

alc has a layer of carbon as a ply of the wood. often you'll see, 5ply +2. that means theres 2 plies of carbon, 7 pliess in total.

the alc allows the blade to be faster without making it weigh more as other fast all wood blades would. It also allows the blade to have a bigger sweet spot. However you lose feeling in the blade when you add carbon to it. So there's a tradeoff.

as a developing player going for the long run, all wood is better for learning and developing even to an extremely high level. Ma long used a 5 ply all wood blade for a LONG time. If you want a quick carbon is often the way, but it will hinder your development.

Traditional carbon provides hard feel. ALC is flexible carbon, provides hardness but not losing too much feeling. Because ALC is flexible it gives more dwell time than old school carbon. Good for plastic balls.

Some premium all wood blades are just as good such as Nittaku Violin, Stiga Intensity NCT.

If you stay with those rubbers ,, go with bty korbel or stiga off calssic , rosewood
If you want more speed choose alc blade

I have an old Yasaka Extra 3D
I dont know if it will work withy new rubbers and also with the plastic ball

 

[rokphish]

Yes it will, also depending upon what kind of play you want, your physical fitness/strength.

 

[Ahmad Arnous]

Extra 3D doesen't have reviews to talking about about it

 

[d3ss3n]

What do you guys think about the Donic Ovtcharov True Carbon?

 

[Ahmad Arnous]

Faassstt blade without enouph control , good feeling

 

[rokphish]

What do you guys think about the Donic Ovtcharov True Carbon?

Supposedly very good, very similar to Viscaria

 

[d3ss3n]

If someone who has ever played with it can relate how is the ovtcharov true carbon. I am not sure if i should take it or not

 

[rokphish]

You could search for posts from Baal.

 

[d3ss3n]

So if i want to get an all wood blade, what would you advise me? I want to change my blade. No more carbon.

 

[rokphish]

You already have extra 3d, pretty good to use for now until you figure out more which way or what do you need from a blade.
