[Ninja26Go]

6mm thickness is what ma long uses.

 

[NasiRendang]

[Ninja26Go]

You'd need to look at the blade face surface and measure the roughness, but ultimately they should be all fine, shouldn't they.

I wouldn't worry about "what Ma Long uses" because it's not going to be the same blade and it doesn't have to be because you're not the same players. Even if you get the same blade he uses, after you use yours for a month, it's not the same blade anymore that he'd use to compete with, most likely he'd have discarded it and swapped it for a new one. Don't forget new rubbers every week and for every game. New shoes too, every couple of weeks.

Oh no, now I've got the EJs excited.

oh God, the top layer is so fragile, i made a bunch of splinters 😵,is this blade really need a varnish.

i failed glueing the blade, bc the glue dry to fast, and the second one, i accidentally touch the blade when glue still wet😵‍💫, so i need to remove glue twice, every time i remove the glue, the splinter appear.this is so frustrating, i can't fail glueing this time.

why he discarded it, is the inner carbon have life time to hold the performance

No you seal it and then is good for quite a while DHS blades break really easy, so from personal experience breaking them in the past, always seal. It's also much easier to remove the glue later on the rubber before boosting again so its a win win!

Cheap spray lacquer, and only a tiny spritz. I have seen a TT store use it and if they can, then so can I

Apart from sealing the blade. When removing rubber do it slowly and
At a 45 degree angle to the blade.

Isn't W968 basically a HL5 but with much better quality?

No. The structure of the A-C carbon layer is different.

i avoid spray version, to prevent over spray in one area.
i think spray version is drying more quick.
