Hi, just want to share my experience so far, using j speed 90 cpen as a shakehands. As advice from pingpongpang and superloop, I use it this week. It feels odd first because the handle is short and thin. But after a while, I get the hang of it and can use it normally. After that I use thick-sticky tennis grip to cover the handle. Its really great, I dunno why. It just not reasonable... Maybe the weight balance, its good for looping. The overall weight is very low. My blade weigh around 76gr and the rubber almost 80gr both. The bad side of it is my backhand push is not too good....

Maybe you can share your experience and wisdom...

Hello stefanusj...You actually did it.  You bought a Darker Speed 90 chinese penhold blade and play with it shakehands!  That is great!  I have been wanting ti do that a long time.  Did the balance of the blade bother your strokes?  I like heavier blades so I'm not sure that I would like the 76g weight.

I have been busy at work the last 2 weeks and I haven't had a chance to try out my new Juic Kiso Hinoki Shake and my Yasaka Super Leo blades.  The Yasaka is supposed to be really fast but I'm not sure about the Juic.  I am going to try to go to my club on Sunday to try them out.  I will let you know what I find out.

Hi Superloop,

yeah just like my last post, I couldn't resist the beauty of it. But this time I have a real big trouble with EMS and customs. I complain Michinao all the time because of it...

Back to the feel of it, I couldn't tell the difference beetwen this and darker tanpan. Not significant at all. Superloop, me myself like heavy blade also, but you should try lighter blade... You can swing and move with ease.

with it I can swing my loop faster, but sometimes I'm really afraid to throw the blades.... Because the handle is so thin and small.... Overall I like it.
