I didnt take a video, but maybe i should sometime. This guy has a very unique style.video?
I got that too bruh. Currently using both H3 on both sides. I'm feeling hard to play a little bit on the backhand (take time use to, I guess?) , but the forehand is wonderful, anything actions short in table is god damn good.You know what, I thought that my friend lent me a regular HL5.
But it turns out that it was actually a provincial W968. No wonder I felt the blade was so nice. It actually seemed to be crisper and snappier than I remember HL5 being.
The more $ the more spin and bling!Is HL5 really that good? Is W968 worth the extra $$$$?
I have the feeling that the cost to make one HL5 or W968 is probably only USD 100 at most (I can be wrong on this). But since the Great Ma Long is using it, so they think they can charge hundreds dollar more and people will still buy it.
I think everybody learns from BTY who put a name "stamp" to a Viscaria or Innerforce ALC/ZLC and then charge extra $$$.
This happens to Tibhar as well. It used to be cheap for blades that have Samsonov name, but then suddenly there is Tibhar VS Unlimited and it is much more expensive than other Samsonov blades from Tibhar.
Now, back to the question, is it really that good?
I had a chance to try a blade from my friend. HL5 with boosted H3 (provincial grade) and BH rubber that I don't remember. I played with it for like 5 minutes but I could not really feel anything special with that blade. I mean I could do everything that I do well, but could not get any special feeling from it. Unlike Nittaku Acoustic, which I really notice the difference in feeling compared to, let's say, BTY Korbel.
So my point is more on the special feeling, not performance wise of HLong 5.
I still need to find a friend who plays with W968 so I can borrow it to try.
EDIT: I hope that I don't invite mass hysteria who shout "SACRILEGE !!!!!!" "DOWN WITH MIGHTYMOUSE"
Well any blade is only marginally better at best. Its not like a ferrari vs camryIs HL5 really that good? Is W968 worth the extra $$$$?
