what blade should i buy....

well.... i'm penholder player....... i'm looking for a blade like Butterfly Matsush*ta Pro....

the point is... i'm penholder.... and this blade is a shakehand one....... i did post about this and u guys told me that its ok for a penholder to use a shakehand blade.....

now... i also wanna know if there is a penholder blade like matsush*ta pro overthere.......or what blade do u recommend me ?

What type of player you are? I used to use Darker Tanpan shakehand as a penhold. If you prefer driving, smashing, looping, blocking, and serving, one ply Darker blade will be good for you. I started with Darker blade J speed 50 Jpen (Off-), and then Tanpan shakehand (off) (used as penhold), now using J speed 90 Cpen (off+). J speed 90 has fast block, fast drive, flick ball on the table, loop attack and fast smash.

- Darker J speed 50 Jpen (smash, dirve and push in distance)
- Darker Tanpan shakehand (loop, smash, push and serve in close table or distance table)
- Darker J speed Cpen (drive, fast loop, smash, block and serve in close table or distance table)

I tried more than fifteen blades. I've spent a lot for the blades. Don't depend on many ply or layers. Pure one ply wood is the most consistant (recommand Darker brand one ply).  Darker  brand is the  best in one ply blade.
You don't have to waste your money to try all kind of blades. I already spent from my experience. Don't waste your time and money. One ply is the best for penhold player.
