NO.1 table tennis review site

I'm using this alongside my Donic Relevant (5-ply + 2 carbon fiber, outer). I bought this one because I wanted to try a standard aramid carbon inner blade.
The one I got has a board thickness of 5.9mm, a bare weight of 91.2g, and a total weight of 187.5g. It ended up heavier than I expected.

For a blade with special materials, the feel is on the soft side. You can really feel the flex, and it has good grip on the ball - it catches it and then launches it forward.

Here are the 6 things I noticed:
- Shots fly in a straight line
- Topspin drives dip down and land solidly on the table
- Serves get a lot of spin
- Pushes are deep and sharp
- It doesn't bounce much on soft hits
- Gets enough distance that playing away from the table works too

What stood out the most was how deep and sharp the pushes are. If you cut through the ball sharply, it lands right at the edge of the table and can really cramp your opponent. Pushing becomes fun with this blade.

It grips the ball well and cuts plenty, so chopping is fun too. Countering a loop drive that comes back off one of your chops could easily become a habit.

Topspin, smashes, chops, blocks, flicks, chiquitas - it does everything, a real all-around blade for enjoying table tennis. And on top of that, it's cheap...
