Looking for a allround blade

[PiZa]

Hi guys,

Can you advice me all, all+ blade good for blocking, choping with large sweet spot. Prize to 80$.

 

[cakezxc280]

Anything with glass/arylate fiber in it that says all+ should have the big sweet spot youre looking for.....

Off the top of my head, Matsushita Pro Alpha should fit all your needs. Not sure about the price anymore tho.

Yinhe Y-4 -- I use it as a fun/spare blade, have LPs on it with thin sponge. With LPs it is easy to chop. With an attacking rubber chop against heavy topspin is challenging, I didn't try any defensive inverted rubber on it. I don't have much competitive experience with chopping anyway.

I use to own a Donic Waldner Carbon Senso, I think it's 3+2 layers and maybe what you are looking for. I tried the Donic AppleGreen allplay and to be honest I didn't like it that much. It's slow and unless you use soft rubbers, it made my chinese and Tenergy rubber a bit dead and uneventful. It was good for drill practice though, felt like you can put the ball everywhere you want but when it came to looping the reviews made me believe it was a looping monster. It wasn't. Definitely with 36-40deg rubber it will feel much better than my experience. (Price is about 20gbp)

Anyway, when I retried a friends Carbon Senso it was a lot better. Better than I remember and I did sell mine as I hated it. I hated the sound it produced on hits, I hated the hollow bullshit handle, although he used a grip which seemed to balance things out a little. But yeah I had a better knock with it and it was easier to keep the ball on the table compared to the greenapple.

One of the best allround+ blades in the world is without doubt the Yasaka allround +. Many proplayers have started their career with this blade, and still doe s!

I checked all this blades and because i'm not a typical defender stiga infinity looks very fine for me except the speed which is quite big from the manufacturer. What you guys think about andro temper tech all + ?

 

[BeGo]

$ 80?

This is not a budget. [emoji14]

You can buy almost any good allrounder blade with that budget.

Andro Temper Tech OFF- 45.00
Xiom Diva 55.00
Andro Kinetic Supreme ALL+ 58.00
JOOLA Eagle Fast 70.00
JOOLA Viva 64.95
Stiga Allround Classic Carbon 75.00
Butterfly Timo Boll W5 85.00
Andro Kinetic Supreme OFF 58.00
Nittaku Redshank 69.00
Galaxy Earth E-3 28.0 (I personally recommend this)

A lot of the time people who chop like blades that have a larger blade face than most Allround Offensive players would use. Do you want a standard sized blade face. Or do you want it to be oversized?

But if you want a regular sized blade, that Andro Temper Tech All+ you are looking at should be good.

When I was checking ALL blades few weeks ago I was reading uppon Andro and a lot of people made good arguments why they are not that popular and desirable. You can read more about it here

http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29947

On a personal level I also found the prices steeper for equivalent Donic/Tibhar, so another reason not to go the Andro way + limited reviews

Any of you choppers out there know good dimensions for the blade face of a chopping blade?

The OSP blades for Chopping come with options for these dimensions:

161x155mm
163x157mm
165x159mm

Well....
The Nittaku Shake Carbon Offence is a real real nice blade IMO.

When it first came out it actually was classified as an Off- Blade.
But that was during the 38mm era.
So nowadays it would rather be classified as an All+ Blade.
It has an amazing sweet spot allowing one to still make quality shots, even when you're caught off balance.

The only downside is that it's not produced anymore and hence pretty hard to get.

BUT.....

...there is a clone called Bogen (which translated means Arc) distributed by the company Arbalest (produced by Yinhe, the No#1 cloning company)
And it was pretty cheap for a carbon blade. The weight is quite low (76grams), so putting on heavy rubbers makes it kinda 'head'-heavy. The product describtion says it's sort of an european (and a little less stiff) version of the Yinhe T-6Blade. (But i can't confirm that yet, cause i haven't tried the T-6 yet)

I own both blades, but can't say that much bout the Bogen Blade yet, cause i just have some test rubbers on it. In a few weeks when the rubbers are worn out and i put on my 'usual' rubber setup i should be able to tell a little more, but from first impressions it seems quite close to the original NSO.

I play the Donic Waldner Senso carbon blade. U can chop with it, but i am convinced it is not a really good choppers blade. Its more for allround attack. I find keeping chops short on for example service returns quite difficult.
I would suggest a blade like Weixing or Yoo Se Hyuk or Matsushita ...

 

[GreatDane]

The good old Butterfly Grubba ALL+

A very versatile blade. I'm talking about the old version with the white/brown handle.

I haven't tried the new model.

What you can say about stiga allround classic carbon ? Is this blade have bigger sweet spot than original ( stiga all classic ) ?

It's definitely faster and harder. I personally did not like how it felt. Not such good dwell time.

I have a Stiga allround classic and Yasaka Silver line Allwood.

I think the Stiga is better for chopping but as a whole i really think Yasaka is better.

 

[karan705]

stage all-round classic is a good one.

Yinhe E3 VB, for the fiberglass allround+ blade.
