Violin-for dissatisfied users

Hi table tennis players.

That is a question for dissatisfied users of wood nittaku violin. Why did you stop playing with this wood? What  didnt you   like at it ?

I am playing with violin.
Most of it bothers me is the hardfeel and a low arch.
I am topspin player and  i think about a similar wood  with a medium feel.

What you you think?

i didnt like violin much either. I always liked acoustic better.

With chinese rubber on BH I missed power with violin. I also noticed that hard outer plies did not match with tenergy rubbers. I felt less control with violin and tenergy. I also missed some stiffness. Violin is medium-hard feel but very thin and with kiri core it is flexible, believe it or not. (not all my violins were the same with stiffness) So I changed to xiom stradivarius but I realized, again, that it has too hard outer plies, so I got avalox BT777 and realized, that limba is the way to go for me.
Now I feel temptation to go back to violin again but I resist, so far.

Yes I prefer Acoustic at the past, but now I prefer Violin for it's feel and solidness.

I have wanted to hit with both of these blades but have not had a chance to hit with either. The last tournament I was at the winner was using the Violin CS. He let me take a look at it. Great quality! 

There is a website somewhere where they show the manufacturing process for these blades... anybody know the link?

I think it's about technique. I can't use T05 on Violin at the past. I used T05 on Acoustic for a while. Now I can use T05 on Backhand of Violin really well. I found it's better for smashing and blocking than acoustic.
Chinese Rubber also plays well on Violin, on Acoustic is softer and a bit faster.

Speaquinox, do you prefer Korbel than Acoustic? I'm waiting my Korbel ST to arrived and would compare it to Violin as well.

I've tried my Clipper Wood just now.
Short game is very awful, I miss my forehand a lot, the only good thing is it's good for blocking.
I lost to my opponent 1 set with the Clipper Wood+H3P 41+Demian. When I change to Hking 655 set up, the next set I gave him 11-0

well this happens in everything in life.

What is the use of buying a car of 60,000 euros when having cars in 18,000 euros same use?.

Waiting for your comment and review

Ok, had a few sessions with the Violin, with two rubbers so far. And now, I wonder where I should post my review. Suffice to say, I am not a dissatisfied user. :)

i had another issue with violin. I didnt like its vibration. In fact that was the main reason i quit violin.

Peter,hey!

No I don't
Probably it's custom made or still prototype.

Btw I've just check with Nittaku Distributor here.
The New Acoustic/Violin with Gold plate.
Both FL and ST handle of the new gold plate is smaller than the L-sized.
Surprisingly the ST Acoustic that I saw is even heavier than my L-sized.

The normal Acoustic/Violin has larger head size with smaller handle.
The L-sized Acoustic/Violin has smaller head size with Bigger handle.

I just wonder why Nittaku doesn't make the head size of L-sized handle as big as the normal version. Probably if the head size is big and the handle is also big, the weight of the blade would be above 95 gr.
