@Сергей Буханцов you are from eurooe, so you have learnt the western method. Coach Emratthich here is explaining the chinese method. The chinese hard rubbers are only good if you put in strength from your lower body. The chinese method is better for most players, but some would prefer the western version as it works better for them.
Your tips are one of the best I've ever heard! Very helpful! I'm a player and a coach in Germany and I didn't know enough about equipment! Normally my blade is Donic Waldner Diablo Senso and XIOM Vega Pro rubbers on both sides! Thank you! 👍
I recently bought Apolonia ZLC which feels like a very good Offensive blade. Good control and consistency with plenty of power mid distance. Prior to that I used Stiga Infinity VPS V with DNA Hard on both sides. I loved this set up too but wanted a little more power.
Right now I use Xiom Allround S with Xiom Vega Asia Hybrid (50° ESN hardness) and Xiom Vega Pro (47.5° ESN hardness). Very good control, speed is good enough for 40+ plastic ball for me and spin is crazy. Highly recommend this for new players, gives good feedback and feel on serve. Clear sweet-spot on looping. Excellent flicks as well on BH.
I have two Stratus Power Wood that I alternate each time I change rubbers. Am currently using Tenergy 05 f/h and Dignics 09c b/h. The blades have really helped my development over the past 3 years. I have tried boosted h3, tibhar MX-p, Aurus Sound but my current config I feel has more room for growth. Perhaps dignics on both sides for future!
coach EmRatThich, My first was Haoshuai blade, then Yasaka extra special, a player introduced me Ma Lin carbon so I got it as well. The former all wood blades has very good feel but is thicker, the latter carbon is thinner. Definitely better to practice first on wood blade to get correct full motion of the techniques using the slower rubbers. It doesn't need to be expensive to be a good blade, the Yasaka is more affordable and of good quality. More importantly suits your own style and physique.
I have been playing for 10 months now and I like to play offensive bh as well as fh. Can you suggest me good blades as well as rubbers. My total budget would be around 120$
I think Stiga Offensive Classic with Friendship Battle 2 39° (if you like Chinese Technique) or Gewo Nexxus El Pro 50 (if you prefer European style) for the forehand and XIOM Vega X for the backhand.
Do you have any experience with balsa blades? I suffer from wrist pain when trying to play backhand topspin for some time, so i'm considering building some lightweight racket.
Aussi bien dans cette vidéo que sur votre site Pingsunday, vous mélangez les commentaires au sujet des bois stiga allround Classic et offensif Classic. Or ils sont très différents. Surprenant 🫢
The table tennis shop near me has Nittaku Acoustic and Stiga Clipper and im going to buy both for my son. And will let my son decide which he will use when the time comes for him to learn table tennis. I also want to try the Butterfly SK7 clasic. My 1st blade was Butterfly Mazunov when i was still in the Philippines. Now I live in Japan for 20 years but when I 1st came here in Japan I bought a Stiga WRB Carbo 7.6 then a Stiga WRB Titanium 5.4. 2 or 3 years ago I bought 2 Friendship 8030 and a Butterfly Sardius. Lately I bought a Butterfly Fan Zhendong Super ZLC to add for my collection of blades. And later will buy the Nittaku Acoustic, Stiga Clipper and Butterfly SK7 classic.
Sir, I have Tibhar stratus power wood, I like to topspin and flick Can you please recommend a good rubber apart from don ice baracuda and xiom vega Asia? Also is Donic coppa jo gold or rasanter 47 better with this blade?
I have Tibhar Stratus Power Wood. I use DHS Neo 3 forehand and Nittaku G-1 backhand. I really like that set up. I have tried Baracuda, Tenergy, MX-P, etc. on the backhand but always go back to G-1 on the backhand. G-1 is a very direct rubber. Where you want to send the ball to, the ball goes there. I personally did not llike Baracuda with Power Wood at all. Everyone's playing style is differen.t
Got a Stiga Clipper WRB version. Hardness and weight is fair enough but the weight shifts to the head with the rubbers attached. Good for top spinning and attacking but no so much for chopping or defending.
Would you recommend the stiga rosewood xo for intermdiate if money were no concern? Would it be stiffer than the viscaria? I’ve had enough of my stiga oc carbon because i want more feeling and spin. I am an intermediate but have chosen to play like Wang liqin because of my height and big forehand strokes. Thing is I completely agree with the fact that the carbon blade set me back in my development so I’m looking for more vibration and feeling. I like the stiga clipper but apparently the handles on stiga blades are all hollow now (and I think butterfly does it better with the feel)
Hi, they are good all-wood blades on the market, you will need to pay attention to the layers of wood, a good 5 ply blade could be the Stiga Emerald VPS V, has a good feeling and awesome control, also make sure to find a wood that really fits on you, for example, a Koto wood is harder and faster than limba wood. If you already played with carbon blades, and you want more feeling on your strokes, I recommend the Ovtcharov or Harimoto inner force series, or the blade that I am using right now that is Xiom Azxi, the good thing with this type of blade is that they have the carbon just after the core, not under the surface like viscaria, so it will have more feeling but you will have good speed.
Thanks for sharing ! What is the best upgrade of the Stiga Allround classic ? I want to keep that flexible thin blade with sharp feeling and reasonnable vibrations, but with more speed for punishing forehand topspins. I don't want the Allround Evolution because it is softer and I can't generate spin with the flex. I'm thinking about the offensive classic, but I'm scared it's too flexible and hard to block with. I also played with a Ma Lin Carbon and I liked the overall feel, although it's a lot faster. Any advice (I play with a vega pro) ? Thanks a lot.
I am a penhold player using yasaka 5 ply all wood Mal Lin Extra Offensive with Hurricane Neo 3 with orange sponge. I wish to upgrade to a harder blade to a faster blade, should I go for Ma Lin Carbon or Max Carbon?
I just started to play again table tennis after 30 years, was an intermediate good player. I have chosen a Stiga offensive classic master grip, equipped with two/mm yasaka mark 5 on both sides. Though, control is quite good at high speed but at lowe speed especially backhand is a disaster, balls fly all over the place. What do you think of this combination? Since it’s very frustrating to play like this, I have now bought a blade Yasaka defender, to be equipped with 2.2mm galaxy mars medium for the forehand and 2mm gewo mega flex control on the backhand, I am looking for control first. What do you think of this setup? Thanks
Offendive Classic de Stiga, prueba con MXP, pienso que te irá bien. Si es muy rápida, prueba Fastarc G1. Ya me contarás. Tú problema es debido a que juegas gomas inadecuadas después de la prohibición del pegamento rápido. En normas generales las gomas clásicas como Mark V y Sriver-L, entre otras, son gomas que pasaron a la historia del TT.
I use Donic Waldner Senso V1 with Baracuda y forehand and Hurriacan in backhand. But I recomend use Baracuda in backhand it's a Good Ruber cor backhand
Hello. My set up is Xiom Offensive s with two Tibhar Evolution ELS rubbers 2.0mm. I’ve been thinking of changing my setup to Stiga Clipper CR with Hurricane 3 neo on forehand. But I don’t know should I change to Chinese rubber on forehand. Can you help with that?
Hi Coach, I´m currently using Timo Boll Spirit (96g) with Tenergy 05 on both sides, but would like to go down in the weight to get more conrtol out of the racquet. What i like is the heavy one shot topspin ball i can play with that combination but it feels just a bit heavy in general. I also would like to play a blade, which is a little bit softer for opening topspins without getting a too high launch angle. Is there any blade you would recommend? I was thinking about the Viscaria or Lin Gaoyuang ALC. And in general: would oyu reccomend softer rubbers on harder blades and harder rubbers on softer blades? How does that affect the launch angle and the feel? I´m a bit worried, that the fast forehand topspins will get a too high launch angle wiht a soft blade even with a hard rubber. and what do you think about the mentioned blades for my favours?
From my own personal experience... The heavy blad is perfect cause it prevents error like opening you're bat to Mutch during topspin brushes... And the blade u play iz perfect especially for speed .... Cause it's quite quick... So I'd Rather you combine that wit rubber with a Mutch lower throwing velocity and then acceleration would be even amplified cause of your blade
Soo if you thinking lighter blade ... But u concerned about your topspin and throw angle ... And speed... Then I'll recommend u try a blade with carbon fiber Plies In the wood ... That makes it Mutch lighter but way faster than just wood .... Thn simpley add a nice hard forhand rubber without the high throw angle to back all that Pace up ...Soo thn maby add a softer more Tacky, grippier backhand rubber to confuse you're aponent when dowing your backhand chop... & Your backhand topspin also even... Cause from the backhand roll to the forehand topspin 🔥 the speed difference will almost make it impossible to react quick enough...
I just ordered a Buttrfly Petr Korbel Japan blade, what rubber (not just Butterfly) would you recommend for this that would be best for a player with a county-level attacking style of play?. I got 2db Friendship 729 Super FX Orange 2.2 rubber from a friend, how would they fit this blade?, my favorite rubber is the TIBHAR MX-S you can give a great side false spin with it, but I also like the Yasaka Rakza Z rubber, this would fit this blade ?. Thanks in advance for your reply, the video is useful.
I have a question. I'm from India and play penhold grip. I used to play penhold on the shakehand racket since its almost impossible to get penhold racket in India. I even resorted to cutting off a part of the shakehand racket to make the handle shorter and have improved a lot since then. But i want to improve more so my question is how can i chose a proper penhold racket? Please help
Is there a good alternative to use on the backhand of Stiga Offensive Classic other than Stiga Mantra M? I think Stiga Mantra M is going out of production. Would Nittaku Fastarc C-1 work well? I also wonder if DHS Hurricane 301 is a similar blade to the Stiga Offensive Classic, only faster.
14:07 Hello and thank you for your advice and help. I have a question, since you recommend all wood paddles, how come the butterfly primorac you show on the video is the one with carbon?. I’m a little confused there because I also believe all wood is better but the one you show has carbon. I feel the carbon makes it lighter and I kind of like a little weighted blade.
Primorac Carbón no es una hoja adecuada, es más rápida que Viscaria, con menos control. A nivel profesional Viscaria obstenta los primeros puestos en el ranking mundial, directamente o con sus respectivas versiones. Para comenzar a desarrollarse en un nivel medio es adecuada una madera más lenta que Viscaria. Primorac Carbón está fuera de lugar.
Butterfly Primorac, Stiga Clipper, Nittaku Acoustic, and Nittaku Violine would be on his list for sure. The best blades for beginners are all wood (no carbon fiber), flexible, medium weight, and from well-known manufacture.
Coach,Stinga Infinity VPS V có độ rung tốt không ạ?Cốt vợt này thích hợp với mặt vợt nào ạ? Em mới chơi lại bóng bàn nên muốn có nhiều cảm giác ạ.Thanks Coach!
It is as good as Offensive Classic. Infinity VPS V is a faster version with slightly less control, so for a more experienced player. This blade is like an upgrade from OC
Did you have tried the Joola Danube 5ply allwood blade??? Which blade has the same composition of this???the composition of Joola Danube is limba-spruce-ayous-spruce-limba. The spruce ply provide enough bounce, while Ayous ply provide super bottom power, fit for loop with fast attack play. Hope you read and reply to my comment I'm using it with Stiga Mantra H (blk) on fh and Stiga Mantra M (red) on bh🤗
Hello, Thank you for this graet Video, I learnd very much. But how i shoud know wich blade on your list suits best for me? I am a european tabeltennis Player and play for 3 years now, and ask the guy on the table Tennis Shop for a raket, He rekomentet Dinic Person Power AR wich is a quit offensiv blade, an He said i shod kombind with a Forhand rubber with strong kik Effekt and a Bakhand Rubber that is very spinni and Hard. If got a feeling that the raket is to Hard for me. Do you rakoment chaning the blade of the rubbers, and waht u rakoment for each?
Go for all dhs, and use booster. Then you will never cry for any expensive rubber. You will have no more desire on expensive tensor or japanese rubbers
Surprising but agree, Yasaka Ma Lin Extra is a very good blade. Unfortunately, it was a tiny bit fast for me so using Yasaka Ma Lin instead (off-) with Sriver (yes, very old/slow style but I have no problem handling all types of rubbers). I play at around 1800 level and have won official Maryland U1800/U1900 events pre-kids period of my life. Haha, y'all play as much as you can before kids.
I tried playing with hurricane 3 neo og a stiga offensive classic after watching this video, but I concluded after a few months that it was too difficult to develop that way ... so I went back to soft yasaka rubbers on forehand that was recommended to me by an expert shop (former top european player). I think its important to listen to the coach in your club and not get too excited by youtubers that get viewers by being provocative. I am considering to try rakza 7 on forehand in the long run tho, so I can get some kind of middle ground between the super hard chinese rubber and the dwell time of the soft euro style. Maybe the best advice I can give to others it to experiment with different rubbers and blades and see what you like yourself.
Razka 7 is what im using for some time now. I play it in a off+ dyjas power (donic) and with a Super Anti from butterfly. I twiddle to confuse the opponent, and i can say Razka 7 works pretty well on both sides. The only thing i would recommend is, to get it with a thickness over 2.0 (2.1/2.2 in preference) , because otherwise, it will bottom down in some shots. That said, imo, it is one of the best rubbers atm, being a perfect upgrade from a Mark V back in the days.
@@jasperellustrismo thanks for advice, after a while with soft rubber on forehand I decided to try rakza z, which is a hybrid rubber and this works perfectly for me becaue it was really really hard to counter topspin with soft rubber. My blade is flexible, so this is good for me because I think rakza z is a chinese rubber for beginners because it has a little more bounce to it. Yes, I had to hit harder with H3, but I got this bad habit of hitting with the arm to compensate for not being able to create enough force to engage the rubber. It might not be the rubbers fault, but this is what happened at least. I am still working hard on getting a proper topspin, 9 months into my table tennis journey. Most players at my level get crushed by a hard flat hit to the right position, so I tend to fall into the habit of using this flat stretched out arm stroke now. There is lots and lots of videos on my channel of me playing, marked with the date of recording.
Hello Teacher, I'm playing with ZJK zlc, Tngy 05 2.1 on the forehand and Nittaku Moristo SP 2.0 on the backhand. What do you think? I have a Speed 90, could it be suitable for the short dot? Greetings
I am looking for a good defensive blade. I noticed your review did not mention any. I currently have the 729 Black Whirlwind, but when I took my rubber offer it splintered the blade a bit and I question its long term durability. What do you recommend?
Any suggestions for a nittaku acoustic blade ??? Ive tried hurricane 3 , MX-P (found it a bit too stiff) Tibhar Nainmor (bit too soft and need effort in shots) I play all round style and any help is much appreciated
I use Victas TDE on FH and Rakza Z on BH on acoustic LG... if you want softer rubbers, there are a lot of them..., h8 soft is very good; for BH: h8 soft, fastarc g1, rakza Z... very good.
@@stephenlee9512 thanks for responding.. much appreciated ! I found hurricane with or without the booster somewhat unforgiving as my technique isn't spot on. The last few months I've used Fastarc G-1 and it's been great. I've also become quite a fan of chopping on the backhand so my quest continues!
I have a butterfly Nakama S2 built in blade (gonna change the rubbers soon to yinhe jupiter and sanwei ultraspin) and My rubbers are Both Butterfly Sapphira, good for beginners
Hey coach! I started playing table tennis 6 months ago. I bought a Palio Expert 2.0 to begin with. I want to upgrade to a new blade. What’s your recommendation if I want to develop an offensive playing style? Carbon? Or should I find a better all wood blade like Tibhar with medium-hard rubbers like Rakza Z extra hard in the FH and Rakza X in the BH(max thickness both sides)
I use DHS PG5 which is a cheap version of Long5, and fits for Me way better, because is lighter, more flexy, more felling, slower and gives insane control. I used also Innerforce Layer Alc, but Pg5 fits better for me, because Innerforce has non lineral speed.
@@aldaron555 exactly. HL5 is so linear. The most linear blade. The perfect blade for perfect loop. And it will become disaster equipment for not a perfect loop
When I startet playing (15 years ago) I was over confident a arogant, so I made a mistake and bought Maze OFF carbon blatde. Now I am playing with Primorac OFF- and Rozena on both sides. Much better setup for me.
Hello EmRatTich Can u suggest me if I should get stiga intensity nct ch pen I heard it's a good blade But because of its hard outerply is it good for consistent looping ?
hello Coach, until now, I playing with Stiga Titanium WRB 7.6, is it still Worth it for Plastic balls now days. need your advice. Manythanks Coach @PingSunday Emrat Thich
I play the "Joola Aruna Off + ", incredible feeling to play, if you play it with tenergy 05, Gewo Nexxus EL hard or a rasanter 53 fits there very well aswell.
I've owned/used the following blades that were listed in the video: 1. Nittaku Acoustic - I owned the Tenaly version. The sound, feeling, and balance in the hand is the best out of all the blades I've ever used. After switching to other faster blades, this felt slow. Luckily, there was a Tenaly Acoustic Carbon Inner version. This one was perfect for me. 2. Butterfly Viscaria - has a great chirping sound when looping with this blade and some Rubbers. It's very light and pretty balanced. However, I noticed I overshoot with this blade. One other thing I didn't like was that the edges were sharp and can not be sanded down due to the outer carbon layer. I liked this blade for the performance and feel but couldn't get over the sharp edges. 3. Stiga Clipper Wood - this blade is very thick. A bit heavy too. I was told the ones being manufactured today are NOT the same as the ones used in the 1990s/2000s. Sound and feeling is average. I didn't like it. 4. DHS Hurricane Long 5 - this blade felt light but it may have just been the balance. The sound on this blade seemed a bit "hollow". This alone turned me off on this blade.
Hi Coach! Excelent movie. Can you compare Nittaku Acoustic to Tibhar Stratus Powerwood and Butterlfy Petr Korbel JP in terms of speed, spin, flexibility, feeling, hardness and handle size? I have Korbel JP 92g and Stratus Powerwood 84g with ST handles. Second blade have perfect handle size for me (maybe because stratus is 6.2 mm). Have Nittaku Acoustic similar handle or is thinner?
@@nightsky930 it's a carbon composite blade with inner carbon placed after the core, it's bouncy for me, generating good power and balanced control for me
17:28 Really confusing. First you mention Offensive classic then continue the story while talking about the Allround classic. Which is it? On a side note as an intermediate player I find most of these blades to fast. The Allround classic was great though!

DHS Hurricane 301 is an inner carbon blade that's for more advanced players that already have their technique developed.

From my own personal experience... The heavy blad is perfect cause it prevents error like opening you're bat to Mutch during topspin brushes... And the blade u play iz perfect especially for speed .... Cause it's quite quick... So I'd Rather you combine that wit rubber with a Mutch lower throwing velocity and then acceleration would be even amplified cause of your blade
Soo if you thinking lighter blade ... But u concerned about your topspin and throw angle ... And speed... Then I'll recommend u try a blade with carbon fiber Plies In the wood ... That makes it Mutch lighter but way faster than just wood .... Thn simpley add a nice hard forhand rubber without the high throw angle to back all that Pace up ...Soo thn maby add a softer more Tacky, grippier backhand rubber to confuse you're aponent when dowing your backhand chop... & Your backhand topspin also even... Cause from the backhand roll to the forehand topspin 🔥 the speed difference will almost make it impossible to react quick enough...
U understand??
I just ordered a Buttrfly Petr Korbel Japan blade, what rubber (not just Butterfly) would you recommend for this that would be best for a player with a county-level attacking style of play?. I got 2db Friendship 729 Super FX Orange 2.2 rubber from a friend, how would they fit this blade?, my favorite rubber is the TIBHAR MX-S you can give a great side false spin with it, but I also like the Yasaka Rakza Z rubber, this would fit this blade ?. Thanks in advance for your reply, the video is useful.
I think rakza Z is much better
@@pingsunday Thanks !!!!!.
Is Nittaku Violin also good like Nittaku Acoustic?
I use Viscaria with Hurricane 8 on forhand and Vega x on backhand
What the feelings from viscaria with chinees rubbers?
I have a question. I'm from India and play penhold grip. I used to play penhold on the shakehand racket since its almost impossible to get penhold racket in India. I even resorted to cutting off a part of the shakehand racket to make the handle shorter and have improved a lot since then. But i want to improve more so my question is how can i chose a proper penhold racket? Please help
Yasaka Ma lin extra offensive cpen handle.
Best penhold racket of all tima.
Is there a good alternative to use on the backhand of Stiga Offensive Classic other than Stiga Mantra M? I think Stiga Mantra M is going out of production. Would Nittaku Fastarc C-1 work well? I also wonder if DHS Hurricane 301 is a similar blade to the Stiga Offensive Classic, only faster.
what u think about Joola ZeLeBRO PBO-C ?
What are the best rubbers for stiga allround classic?
14:07 Hello and thank you for your advice and help. I have a question, since you recommend all wood paddles, how come the butterfly primorac you show on the video is the one with carbon?. I’m a little confused there because I also believe all wood is better but the one you show has carbon. I feel the carbon makes it lighter and I kind of like a little weighted blade.
Primorac Carbón no es una hoja adecuada, es más rápida que Viscaria, con menos control. A nivel profesional Viscaria obstenta los primeros puestos en el ranking mundial, directamente o con sus respectivas versiones. Para comenzar a desarrollarse en un nivel medio es adecuada una madera más lenta que Viscaria.
Primorac Carbón está fuera de lugar.
what type of blade would you recommend for a short/medium distance looper in FH, and ox longpips blocker and pusher in BH? Thanks for your videos!
I'm now using a Nittaku OuterCarbon ST With AK47 RedMax 169grs . My Best Combo Yet Its AMAZING 😎
I have two blades:
Butterfly Kazan Juic 999 Elite on both sides.
Butterfly Primorac FH: DHS Hurricane 8, BH: Butterfly Rozena
Review butterfly joo sae hyuk VS Andro timber 5 def ?🙏
You should make a list of the best starting blades. I wonder if Donic Appelgren Allplay Senso V2 would make that list.
Butterfly Primorac, Stiga Clipper, Nittaku Acoustic, and Nittaku Violine would be on his list for sure. The best blades for beginners are all wood (no carbon fiber), flexible, medium weight, and from well-known manufacture.
@@ivanivan4155 I started with Stiga Offensive Classic and have now played for one year.

Pls help
Is razer L9 good racket for intermediate players? Please answer to me
Coach what is the best blade for attacking LP player?
What about Stiga Infinity VPS?
It is as good as Offensive Classic. Infinity VPS V is a faster version with slightly less control, so for a more experienced player. This blade is like an upgrade from OC
Did you have tried the Joola Danube 5ply allwood blade??? Which blade has the same composition of this???the composition of Joola Danube is limba-spruce-ayous-spruce-limba.
The spruce ply provide enough bounce, while Ayous ply provide super bottom power, fit for loop with fast attack play. Hope you read and reply to my comment I'm using it with Stiga Mantra H (blk) on fh and Stiga Mantra M (red) on bh🤗
What do you think about Donic Waldner senso ultra carbon with DHS hurricane 8 hard on FH and Donic Coppa X2 on backhand?
Hello,
Thank you for this graet Video, I learnd very much.
But how i shoud know wich blade on your list suits best for me?
I am a european tabeltennis Player and play for 3 years now, and ask the guy on the table Tennis Shop for a raket, He rekomentet Dinic Person Power AR wich is a quit offensiv blade, an He said i shod kombind with a Forhand rubber with strong kik Effekt and a Bakhand Rubber that is very spinni and Hard.
If got a feeling that the raket is to Hard for me.
Do you rakoment chaning the blade of the rubbers, and waht u rakoment for each?
Go for all dhs, and use booster. Then you will never cry for any expensive rubber. You will have no more desire on expensive tensor or japanese rubbers
Matias Falk's blade is Yasaka Ma Lin Soft carbon, not Yasaka Ma Lin carbon
I use one play hinoki blade. Can you do a video of hi oki blade pros and cont...
Is that stiga offensive classic or stiga allround classic?? Both are written
What are the best blades for defensive players?
Surprising but agree, Yasaka Ma Lin Extra is a very good blade. Unfortunately, it was a tiny bit fast for me so using Yasaka Ma Lin instead (off-) with Sriver (yes, very old/slow style but I have no problem handling all types of rubbers). I play at around 1800 level and have won official Maryland U1800/U1900 events pre-kids period of my life. Haha, y'all play as much as you can before kids.
I tried playing with hurricane 3 neo og a stiga offensive classic after watching this video, but I concluded after a few months that it was too difficult to develop that way ... so I went back to soft yasaka rubbers on forehand that was recommended to me by an expert shop (former top european player). I think its important to listen to the coach in your club and not get too excited by youtubers that get viewers by being provocative. I am considering to try rakza 7 on forehand in the long run tho, so I can get some kind of middle ground between the super hard chinese rubber and the dwell time of the soft euro style. Maybe the best advice I can give to others it to experiment with different rubbers and blades and see what you like yourself.
Razka 7 is what im using for some time now. I play it in a off+ dyjas power (donic) and with a Super Anti from butterfly. I twiddle to confuse the opponent, and i can say Razka 7 works pretty well on both sides. The only thing i would recommend is, to get it with a thickness over 2.0 (2.1/2.2 in preference) , because otherwise, it will bottom down in some shots.
That said, imo, it is one of the best rubbers atm, being a perfect upgrade from a Mark V back in the days.
maybe you are hitting too thinly. try hitting hard when trying to spin the ball (somehow counterintuitive, but that's how blade flex works)
@@jasperellustrismo thanks for advice, after a while with soft rubber on forehand I decided to try rakza z, which is a hybrid rubber and this works perfectly for me becaue it was really really hard to counter topspin with soft rubber. My blade is flexible, so this is good for me because I think rakza z is a chinese rubber for beginners because it has a little more bounce to it. Yes, I had to hit harder with H3, but I got this bad habit of hitting with the arm to compensate for not being able to create enough force to engage the rubber. It might not be the rubbers fault, but this is what happened at least. I am still working hard on getting a proper topspin, 9 months into my table tennis journey. Most players at my level get crushed by a hard flat hit to the right position, so I tend to fall into the habit of using this flat stretched out arm stroke now. There is lots and lots of videos on my channel of me playing, marked with the date of recording.
@@jasperellustrismo thats the thing, you gotta hit it with the bat a bit " opened" to transport the ball safely.
Hello Teacher, I'm playing with ZJK zlc, Tngy 05 2.1 on the forehand and Nittaku Moristo SP 2.0 on the backhand. What do you think? I have a Speed 90, could it be suitable for the short dot? Greetings
I am looking for a good defensive blade. I noticed your review did not mention any. I currently have the 729 Black Whirlwind, but when I took my rubber offer it splintered the blade a bit and I question its long term durability. What do you recommend?
Sword 309 Chop is a very good defensive blade, it's not expensive and its durability is good. But be aware it's quite fast.
Any suggestions for a nittaku acoustic blade ??? Ive tried hurricane 3 , MX-P (found it a bit too stiff) Tibhar Nainmor (bit too soft and need effort in shots)
I play all round style and any help is much appreciated
I use Victas TDE on FH and Rakza Z on BH on acoustic LG... if you want softer rubbers, there are a lot of them..., h8 soft is very good; for BH: h8 soft, fastarc g1, rakza Z... very good.
@@marcosguglielmetti thank you for the advice
Use booster on your hurricane
@@stephenlee9512 thanks for responding.. much appreciated !
I found hurricane with or without the booster somewhat unforgiving as my technique isn't spot on. The last few months I've used Fastarc G-1 and it's been great. I've also become quite a fan of chopping on the backhand so my quest continues!
hello coach. how about the p900?
How about DHS 301 Series?
Nittaku Tenaly Acoustic FTW!!! Yasaka Sweden Extra is also a nice option for 40 usd.
Love the Sweden Extra. A great value for the control and performance.
i feel good with Andro Treiber K 86g blade using donic rubber acuda s1 on back hand, but I need more harder rubber in fore hand side.
I have a butterfly Nakama S2 built in blade (gonna change the rubbers soon to yinhe jupiter and sanwei ultraspin) and My rubbers are Both Butterfly Sapphira, good for beginners
What about Tibhar Force pro black edition with 2 Aurus sounds 1.9mm
Hey coach! I started playing table tennis 6 months ago. I bought a Palio Expert 2.0 to begin with. I want to upgrade to a new blade. What’s your recommendation if I want to develop an offensive playing style? Carbon? Or should I find a better all wood blade like Tibhar with medium-hard rubbers like Rakza Z extra hard in the FH and Rakza X in the BH(max thickness both sides)
can you recommend the palio expert?
@@felix2805 yes, if you are starting at the sport. Good value.
@@diegokro i am intermediate, longtime Hobby Player, but Not Professional!
@@felix2805 you may need something faster
I use DHS Hurricane 301, which I’m told has similar qualities to the Long 5. I like it a lot!
More crispy vibration, but stiffer. Suits better for penhold, to have a bit more support
I use DHS PG5 which is a cheap version of Long5, and fits for Me way better, because is lighter, more flexy, more felling, slower and gives insane control. I used also Innerforce Layer Alc, but Pg5 fits better for me, because Innerforce has non lineral speed.
@@aldaron555 exactly. HL5 is so linear. The most linear blade. The perfect blade for perfect loop. And it will become disaster equipment for not a perfect loop
I used to play with HL5
But I got several mild injuries, so I put it on a drawer and play with pg and love it so much
Exceptional blade, I use a viscaria.
Coach, why pros tend to use 7 (5 + 2) ply blades?
the 2 alc layers gives a great support
Thanks coach, why pros are not using 5 (3 + 2) ply or 9 (7 + 2 or 5 + 4 ) ply?
When I startet playing (15 years ago) I was over confident a arogant, so I made a mistake and bought Maze OFF carbon blatde. Now I am playing with Primorac OFF- and Rozena on both sides. Much better setup for me.
Hello sr..can you help me sr?can you give me 3fastest blade of butterfly today..thank you
Coach ¿What do you think about a Donic ovtcharov/original senso carbon whit tihbar Evolution el-p in both sides for an intermediate player?

nice, but why do you introduce the same very outdated list from 2018?
Hello EmRatTich
Can u suggest me if I should get stiga intensity nct ch pen I heard it's a good blade
But because of its hard outerply is it good for consistent looping ?
What if I’m a pen hold player? What kind of racket should I get
DONIC WALDNER OFF WORLD CHAMPION 89 + 2 BUTTERFLY DIGNICS 05
hello Coach,
until now, I playing with Stiga Titanium WRB 7.6,
is it still Worth it for Plastic balls now days.
need your advice.
Manythanks Coach @PingSunday Emrat Thich
WRB 7.6 has too vibration I think. I prefer ALC blades.
I play the "Joola Aruna Off + ", incredible feeling to play, if you play it with tenergy 05, Gewo Nexxus EL hard or a rasanter 53 fits there very well aswell.
I've owned/used the following blades that were listed in the video:
1. Nittaku Acoustic - I owned the Tenaly version. The sound, feeling, and balance in the hand is the best out of all the blades I've ever used. After switching to other faster blades, this felt slow. Luckily, there was a Tenaly Acoustic Carbon Inner version. This one was perfect for me.
2. Butterfly Viscaria - has a great chirping sound when looping with this blade and some Rubbers. It's very light and pretty balanced. However, I noticed I overshoot with this blade. One other thing I didn't like was that the edges were sharp and can not be sanded down due to the outer carbon layer. I liked this blade for the performance and feel but couldn't get over the sharp edges.
3. Stiga Clipper Wood - this blade is very thick. A bit heavy too. I was told the ones being manufactured today are NOT the same as the ones used in the 1990s/2000s. Sound and feeling is average. I didn't like it.
4. DHS Hurricane Long 5 - this blade felt light but it may have just been the balance. The sound on this blade seemed a bit "hollow". This alone turned me off on this blade.
hello seems you have experience on popular blades, what blade can you recommend then sir?
you can sand the viscaria wings if that's what you mean(i think)
Hi Coach! Excelent movie. Can you compare Nittaku Acoustic to Tibhar Stratus Powerwood and Butterlfy Petr Korbel JP in terms of speed, spin, flexibility, feeling, hardness and handle size? I have Korbel JP 92g and Stratus Powerwood 84g with ST handles. Second blade have perfect handle size for me (maybe because stratus is 6.2 mm). Have Nittaku Acoustic similar handle or is thinner?
acoustic handle LG is better than stratus, a bit bigger, and the blade is better overal, obviously.
Y para jugadores defensivos. Cuales son las mejores maderas ?
I am using Andro Treiber CI Off, with forehand rubber Xiom Vega Pro, backhand Yasaka Rakza 7
Hi brother
Can you pls let me know about Andro Treiber CI off
@@nightsky930 it's a carbon composite blade with inner carbon placed after the core, it's bouncy for me, generating good power and balanced control for me
17:28 Really confusing. First you mention Offensive classic then continue the story while talking about the Allround classic. Which is it? On a side note as an intermediate player I find most of these blades to fast. The Allround classic was great though!
There are high lvl players in England UK who still play with ALL classic! Beautiful blade
thank you for this wonderful video. I play viscaria fl and its second to none
Coach I've seen many blades has names from famous top players worldwide, why they haven't do it on rubbers? For example DHS hurricane long rubbers.😊.
because they make new rubber every year. not enough names
What is your opinion about Kido 7P RTG Premium? I was thinking about buying it. Thank you for your time
Is it a good blade?
11:50 Timo Boll stopped playing the Timo Boll Spirit for over 10 years now! He now uses Timo Boll ALC
