How would you rank the speed of these blades? From reading the reviews I understood that they are all similar in speed but I can't narrow down the rankings. They all have Limba-Limba-X-Limba-Limba composition (X being Ayous, Abachi (Persson) or Tung (Acoustic)).


Waldner Senso V1, Appelgren Allplay, BTY Primorac, Persson Power Allround and Nittaku Acoustic

Since I play Appelgren Allplay senso daily I will allow myself to put some comparisons.
Appelgren senso is faster than not senso (played with same rubbers)
Appelgren senso is about 95% speed of Donic Powerplay (played with older tenergy 05 and 729 something)
Appelgren senso is about 90% speed of Retturn OFF (played with older donic bluefire jp02)

Also I scrapped revspin.net (acquired all the data from it) and analyzed it. Long story short 40% of all blades rated are between 7 (10th percentile) and 8.5 (which is median) and 40% of blades is rated between 8.5 and 9.1 in terms of speed. So I would take those ratings with great pinch of salt.

Speed is very personal thing. Everyone perceives it marginally different. There is more to a blade then just composition. I think that both thickness of each layer and and weight do matter...
