I‘d love to see a video where you present the best beginner/intermediate blades & rubbers from different brands! I‘m sure there are many players watching your videos who will never be able to controll the flagship carbon blades but are still super interested in equipment :)
Yasaka Sweden extra stiga clipperwood and hurricane 301 by dhs are good for beginners hurricane maybe for intermediate but yasaka and stiga are best beginner options also not expensive
Another nice review - thanks. I have some suggestions for videos you could make: 1) Can you loop with balsa. This is a common subject of debate eg TTD Forum. Can you settle this once and for all by reviewing a popular balsa blade eg BTY Balsa Carbo X5? 2) Heavy vs light blade. Could you review 2 versions of same blade, eg Boll ALC, 1 heavy, 1 light with same rubbers on each and describe the difference. 3) Blade vs rubber, which makes the most difference. Take a very fast blade with a slow or classic rubber and compare the speed and spin to an allround blade with a super fast rubber. I am sure a lot of people would be interested in this. Does anyone agree?
@@conscribe838 I agree with one and my answer is yes. If you have good looping technique you can generate huge spin with the TSP balsa series for example.
I think it would be cool if Dan and Tom did a vid on their own personal top 5 or top 3 blades that they've used. Blades that suit their play styles for example, or blades they've used in the past like when they were developing players. Could get some of the other guys on the TTD team involved too!
i think the best blade ever is mazunov. i would like a retro review, a wood blade that works as fast alc carbon with crispy feeling, hight arc buuuut also with a nice wood feeling and control, the handicap is the weight
Nice review the Revoldia blade ,Dan. For next video I would like you to review DHS Hurricane long 5 with Hurricane 3 vs Dignics09C, wait for it. Thank you very much
Would love to see a review of the Zhang Jike and Lin Gaoyuan ALC blade to see how they compare to the other Butterfly ALC blades you’ve reviewed like the Boll and Viscaria.
@@DavidGottschalk that's not true at all. There is a well known TT trainer that just did a review stating that they aren't the same blade as many are trying to convince other of. Similar properties but still different blades all together.
@@Justmakesomenoiz i ve seen this review, from "coach lin", but in my case a ve seen same diferences , althought more diferences between 2 viscaria from diferent year than between these ALC blades.
Far too much dosh. But that’s always been Butterfly. Even 30 yrs ago,they were still the most expensive brand. Yes,it’s good stuff... but justifiable? Won’t change my game much.....
This blade is amazing. The fantastic feel of wood but with the dynamic of a regular carbon blade. I am playing the CNF for around three month and meanwhile I am playing it on both side with the Dignics 09C. Absolutely amazing set up. With this set up you have a very good control even when you play passive. Highly recommended....
cool content 👍. I suggest you review the $ 35 SANWEI F3 Pro. I think you will be surprised by its performance and, in general, by the comparison method, I prefer Chinese blades that are much cheaper but no worse than famous brands.
I think at the end it will not be superfluous to compare all indicators with viscariya and see how it keeps the bar in modern table tennis, it will be very interesting
Could you please review the nittaku accoustic kind of blades? Afaik they are pretty popular and I for one would really value your opinion on them highly. greetings, keep doing what you re doing.
@@gerokatseros I have many many blades. Before switching to the Revoldia I was using a Darker Speed 90. They're both great I'm terms of quality but I like the feel of the Revoldia in the hand
Thx for your review. I wouldn’t play the wood without your review several month ago. Meanwhile I am playing the CNF on both side with Dignics 09C I improve all my strokes I am so satisfied. Amazing combination I am absolutely with you.....
I've used it, I thought it was very nice. If it was the price of a Timo alc I would buy one tomorrow and give it a go. Just way to expensive. What rubbers did you use on the review or did I miss you say?
What rubber would you reccomend to me as I have a very powerful but unstable backhand. I am playing with tenergy05 but not sure whether to get a rubber with more control and less speed.
I Use the Revoldia CNF since it came out with dignics 09c in both sides with Maximum thickness. It improved my gameplay a lot! But you need to train hard...😉
@@darrinkulyk9560 i used a andro carbon off blade with Hexer duro on the forhand side and Impuls 400 on the backhand. It was a used Racket from my TT Trainer. Then i changed in quick time some used rubbers until i broke the bat. Then i bought the revoldia with dignics 09c. I play TT since only one and a half year. And it was a lot of diffrence between the rackets! I had to learn how to play with it in hard Training lessons. And the First month i thougt i will never learn it. But then the Feeling for it came and now i am glad that i am the third best player in my Team...
Nice . I play 10/15Hrs A Week . Currently use a M (2012) Viscera With O7A MAX Both Sides . I'm in the process of getting a custom Blade Made I'll put the O7AMax on it . Will Definitely be Faster than the Viscera 😎
Can you pls reveiw the stiga hybrid wood nct with a tenergy 19 both side bc this is my dream set up i would like to see it performance before buying it
@ttd Hi guys. Im looking to get a new blade. currently im playing the Timo Boll ALC with Tenergy 05 Fx on both sides. The problem for me is, that the blade sometimes feels to carbony and in the moment of impact your control lacks a little (compared to blades with a more wooden feel). In this regards im interessted in all kinds of blades with a wooden feel or with more control and stability. My first bet on on the Harimoto ALC. But this one sounds interessting too. So guys, what are your thoughts of the Revoldia in comparison with the Harimoto ALC? Or do you even have the chart where i can see these two blades compared by stats? Thanks for any kind of answer!
I think you might like some of the Butterfly innerforce ALC blades as the carbon is closer to the centre which should help a lot with control and feeling which you claim to be an issue. Sticking with the Timo Boll blade series why not try the Butterfly Timo Boll innerforce ALC.
@@alekssbelskis3544 sounds like a plan! We have a local tabletennis shop with all kinds of blades. There i can surely try the innerforce ALC, as for now im playing Harimoto ALC with Tenergy19
@@alekssbelskis3544 its a fucking rocket! With beginner level players, i always heard 'buy faster blades, buy faster rubbers' etc. etc. And in the beginning i did. I started with a blade of 85 speed, then switched to 'maze magic' with 92 speed. Then i jumped to timo boll with like 120 speed, and now harimoto. But at this point i realise, i need a slower racket to be able to learn topspin better. With a blade of this tempo i have rarely any time to find the right impact point of the ball to even to topspin. Kind of funny how things evole :D
@@janosch7210 Sorry I didn't realize you were a beginner. In that case my recommendation is a Petr korbel with max thickness Sriver on both sides, it's much slower than what you're used to but it has a lot of dwell time and flex to help you feel the ball on the bat more and learn good and proper strokes. If you get good coaching for a few years you'll learn very good technique as the blade won't do that much for you and then I'd recommend the Timo boll or innerforce ALC blade (depending on which you prefer when you get that far) as you'd be able to benefit from it's great speed as the technique is already there.
Just crazy prices on table tennis blades I’m in aussie the cheapest one I could find was 650 aud I play squash where the rackets are 27 inches long n made of all sorts of composites then you’ve still got to buy rubbers off it’s head 🤷♂️
