Anybody tried this blade? It looks pretty cool. I may get one to tryout. The summer sale is coming up soon as well.

I have the Stuor Harimoto ALC. But I may sell this one and try the Lemuria version.

From the pictures the carbon/arylate weave doesnt look as dense as on my Harimoto SALC, so it looks like a normal "ALC" with a differente handle.

yes, good observation. This is also my guess. It's very expensive to produce that 10k weave. So I'm guessing they just use a cheaper normal alc weave, and copy the design of the SALC for the handle.

I previously had the Lemuria SZLC Zhang Jike. Again, I highly doubt that the fibre was a real 10k zlc, but actually the blade itself was quite excellent.

I have the Stuor Harimoto SZLC. The fibre may not be real 10k, but this is in fact my best blade I own or have tried.

So I'm actually not overly concerned whether the blade is "real" SALC or not, but I just hope the blade has a great feeling and flex/snap

I tested this clone blade, but I am very disappointed. It is way too soft, too flexy, too weak. There is no snappiness to it, and it just has a empty feeling. It feels like a all wood blade, kinda like Ma Lin Offensive.

It is much softer than the real one.

All this clones from Ali its just wasting money

And you open another thread about unknown brand

 

[Tyce]

Wait, you're saying you spent all that money on a highly promising blade, but it turned out to be a disappointment?

Who would have thought? I would think that spending less than 1/5th on a clone ripoff (a clone is when you make an actual copy, a ripoff is when you just make something look like the original a little bit) was a surefire way to get cheap, premium performance equipment.

Colour me flabbergasted.

Like I said, its a bit of a lottery. Some of my best blades have been from these makers.

I dont mind taking the risk because i end up selling a lot of blades and i was running low anyways.

Is this just the Atletico Power?

 

[andzejgolot]

Atletico Power has thicker core, thicker and longer handle and 157-150 headsize. IT is harder than Liu.
Liu reminds me H2. IT is the best blade for forehand topspin player. I feel super great quality WHEN I used first time.
The quality of Liu Jialiang is better than Atletico Power. I have fishscale and handle quality is really on point.
The composite is different...
In my opinion Yasaka made the blade, it was like h5 long provincial and they wants to use Liu Jialiang for promotion but he back to Golden Viscaria so Yasaka put the blade on big sale and they made it a lot cheaper for promotion and they wants to just sell it to receive the money spend on the blade+ people will remember this situation like I want another one..
I saw on chinese shop that blade was with -70% discount from normal price.
Before last big sale the blade cost 100$. Rn it cost 50$.
I send you dm because I want you to receive something better than another clone bs and you failed.

sounds pretty cool. but looks like its not available for me

My friend WHO use only Butterfly premium blades he said this is really good one and reminds him his old moonbeam but touch slower and more spinny. Sad IT was only 8 blades on aliexpress, maybe they will back but Cpen is still on the shop and for me it is bargain

 

[TensorBackhand]

Anybody tried the Sanwei 54? Looks pretty good.

Basically looks like the 75 inner, but they switched out the blue alc for the yellow aromatic fibre.

I already love my 75 inner, but maybe it's even better with the yellow fibre

Another thing is, I have spent and wasted money on more reputable makers and really wasnt impressed at all. So overall I have better experience with the cheap makers. They sometimes just get it right.

I had butterfly blades, but they didnt feel right to me. They felt too short, and also didnt have that signature flexy snappy feeling i want.

I had Yasaka Atletico Power, but it was terrible. No feeling at all, too bricky, bad handle.

I had Yinhe, too stiff, too dense, too short.

DHS is generally pretty good, HL5, B2, 301 are all pretty good. But still dont find the sweet flexy snap feeling.

Sanwei is also quite good. F3pro is good, 75 inner are great.
