I wasn't surely an EJ. I was only searching for a blade that feels comfortable, familiar and safe for me. I was looking for a blade which I were confident that it would fit me well for a long time. I think the Virtuoso-L is that blade i was looking for. Thanks to all forum members for sharing their experience. They have guided my attention to OSP blades.  ------------- Virtuoso+ :: Mark V :: Mark V |

Hello guy's, i like this clan-idea for osp blade owners. I have been ej-ing for over almost 25 years, played with everything that was in my hands, blades and rubbers, and now at the end of my career i've decided(after discovering your very entertaining and informative discussions) to buy my last paddle,or as i say in dutch-slang "plankie". I've decided to go for an Expert with flared/fh handle. It looks like my first stiga alser in 1976, so for me the circle is round. I even go back to "normal rubbers", after this pair is worn, rakza soft /max fh /1,8 bh. Does any of you guys have experience with this combo, Expert + classic rubbers.? Or even with lovely cheap....( i'm dutch)...chinese stuff e.g. friendship/dipper/hurricane etc etc. My play is close to table ,lot of fh ,less bh varying between first ball attack to gentle rallying/placing/blocking. offensive-minded allrounder. Sometimes bit to tired, i,m 52 years, with recovering knee injury, hence my changing in play-gears. Btw, i,ve signed a statement to my wife that this is my last blade and maximum 4 rubbers a year, with the exception of breaking. Feels good, helps me to stop thinking about all these infinite possibilities.  greetz from the netherlands ------------- There's no way but your own experience way. blade OSP Virtuoso / custom Alser grip FH tenergy 05 1.9 BH rozena 1.9 |

@mepper59
Welcome to the forum & also to "our Clan" where all like-minded, dedicated, OSP aficionados, diehards or/& whatever we call ourselves, meet & chat.
You've been EJ'ing for 25 yrs? Nah...that's not that long at all. Some of us here have been doing that for eternity. My OSP V/V+, however, reminded me of my old Stiga AR Classic UTC An. handle & O sweetness, that's 1 hella merry go around & o yes, I actually slapped on cheapie Joola tango FH & BW2 BH & this combo just seems to do whatever I want it to play.
You're 52 y/o? Nah...man, you still have many, many yrs left to play & no one here is too old to learn/try new things provided you've the passion & desire to do "them".
Why the Hxll did you sign anyth'n in front of your Lady to limit your opportunities to further your EJ'ing journey? I''ll never do so & I let my lady buy as many "knock-off" Chinese made handbags as she wanted..Ouch, that wasn't a wise move for me in fact.

Mepper59 It's funny you should mention your first Stiga Alser back in 1976; as I bought my first bat in 1976 too. It was a Stiga Offensive Wood, with a Hans Alser handle and fitted with 1.5mm Mark V rubbers. I learnt to play the game with that bat. That bat is long gone and these days I have two Experts, both with anatomical handles. One of them is in the TT bag, with 2mm 47.5% Macro Era on it; whilst the other is awaiting rubbers. The other Palatinus blade I have in the TT bag is the sn452; which is a custom made blade, that plays similar to a TBS, but with a much better feel and thus better for the short game. It is well matched with 2.1mm Tenergy 05. |

Hai. Peter, nice to hear from another old stiga fan. Due to a rather peculiar mix-up i am now the proud owner of a virtuoso M/fl instead of an expert. I,ve played three times with it, has a wonderful feel in the short game, and more than enough power for me further away when attacking. I,ve changed the rubbers and now i am playing with rakzaPO/1,8 fh and markv gps1.5 bh. The maxrakza was to fast for me It is a nice feel ,hitting with these pimpels out, a lot of acceleration I like hitting more than spinning.The backhand will be tomorrow night first, so i,m very curious.Blocking/hitting and some looping/pushing, control is my backhand All and all i,m very satisfied with the gears and the clear feel of the blade , Have to play more to discover the fine tuning,takes time.

Hi there, Good FanClub...nice to read your posts here!!! ...this club should have been done by me Some of you guys read my test/posts. My story seemed an everlasting in EJing tour with blades,rubbers after glue ban! I've played at the beginning with Banda allround, Tsp Allround,Primorac xxs and finally with Kjell johannson old stiga blade both with sriver fx and GPS fresh glued...that was so cool!! but after everythig changed.....I don't know how many baldes did I try...but more than 50 and rubbers? I haven't got a bloody clue......btw bryce speed fx was good for so long. And once I met my friend Laszlo and I shocked from his bat....that was a palatinus custommade....after 2 not sufficient CM blade got the first Expert and after Virtuoso that was fisrt hitting love  ..... than I found Tenergy for best pair on it..... ohh how beauty combo is this .....I am in that fortune that I could test all of OSP blades....and I played with virtuoso L almost 2 years just from the beginning.... and my technique improved a lot because of this blade (and not EJing anymore) Than once after some talk and meeting with Robert he gave me a test blade which was similar to Tibor Klampar's next one.....it was very nice but little bit too much for me....so I told "I want that blade just little bit more flex and less speed"....so Robert developed the Virtuoso+  ....since then V+ is my main blade and I still love it!!Now I use it with a pair of fine tuned T05FX  Enjoy Your Life, Enjoy Your Game...Play with OSP

I think it would be nice if Mr. Palatinus creates a REAL all blade and add it to the standard blades repository. I believe many people would welcome this. Although the Expert is rated as all+ i think it has a rather offensive character. Maybe the Origo in standard size (as suggested by bluebucket)? ------------- Virtuoso+ :: Mark V :: Mark V |

Date Posted: 11/04/2011 at 9:21am
| Yes I would like it if there was a true allround OSP blade, more similar to the real old Stiga's. Those old Stiga's aren't anywhere near as powerful as the Expert. The Expert doesn't bounce a ball on it's surface hardly at all but it's a fair savage beast when you wind it up and starts to overpower most nearly any offensive blade from off the table |

Keep us posted. Probably the only thing that could get me to even consider giving up the Virtuoso would be an ALL blade of the same quality. Lately, people have been talking about Expert's in the "shorter" range. At 157 x 151, I almost wonder if the Expert wouldn't be slower (less catapult) yet more precise on everything from blocks to flat smashes, while giving up some of the mid distance explosiveness. However, Palatinus making all these blades in different lengths only adds to the confusion when describing the blades properties. ------------- http://bit.ly/vLMhuB" rel="nofollow - - RC1042 .

Your comparing a composite blade to an all wood blade. Of course there will be much more vibrations with an all wood blade. That said, I think if you try a OSP blade debraj.....try the Expert. It is not like any wood blade I have ever played. It has very good placement and power, you just have to adjust to the higher throw angle with it. It will also play well with the rubbers you like to use. wturber (AZ) has the Expert ST test blade now. Not sure when he is done with it or who is next on the list as this may have changed since many months ago when I first got it. ------------- |

Oh...sorry I did not use the quote correctly in the last post. It was assiduous that mentioned the vibration element and where my comment was directed to. The Expert blade is something that you have to use and feel before you can understand it. Like mentioned in that thread on several occasions, it's slow when you want it to be and fast when you need it to be. It plays pretty dynamic for a wood blade. Sorry, I can't give you any comparisons with a TBS, 729 F-1, or other ALC blades because I have never played them.

I don"t think it is a good comparsion,,,in feeling of hardness tbs , the expert is the good choice but in terms of speed rather virtuoso+ and ultimate (if want little more solidness ultimate).....musko is more faster,and harder... All os osp blades have higher angle than normal blades and good feeling with more bouncy and dwell time as well but this is not vibration this is flexibility and feeling ..it can be a help for unprecise shots i think so. Try first Expert than v+ ...but ultimate still can be a good choice but this is little more fast and also not so hard feeling,but it has the little lower arc. Find my and other fans testes in the osp test forum. One of my teammate has an Ultimate and aTBS as well and he is playing better with Ultimate and with more spin and control than TBS, but he cant make the decision what is better for him... because of brand love stupidness or haven't got a clue why....so he is still an EJ...but my other teammates are satisfied with expert,ultimate and custommade offensive stiga replica I wish you good luck ;) ------------- OSP VIRTUOSO AC (L=159 mm)( Aramid/Carbon) FH: Tenergy 80 BH: Tenergy 80 Boosted with Falco long http://ospblades.com/" rel="nofollow - OSP Blades |

No, on my blade it is vibration. Especially if you hit off center, it vibrates really hard. The only other blade of the 12 I have that has this kind of vibration is Stiga OC WRB. Stiga is softer and at the same stiffer, but nonetheless it vibrates a lot, and so does my Virtuoso. I would actually sell it and quit the club but for some reason the resale value here is ridiculously low. Can't get more than $60 for one in great condition. For that price I will just keep in in the wall. It is, after all, very pretty. But pm me with an $80 offer and it will be on your way next morning. ------------- puppy412 : Sorry man, I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but I know that more training will make me better, I don't need to come here to figure that out |

The word "vibration" is mostly used in a negative manner regarding to blades. It often means this unpleasant vibration that gives you false information about the ball. Every blade vibrates to give you some necessary information. If you want no vibration you must play with a floor tile. I've never had the feeling that my Virtuoso vibrates in this unpleasant way. Only feeling and feedback. But I think it is a lot a matter of personal taste. Some people, who play mostly with stiff carbon blades, would maybe say that it is too much of vibration. Who cares. They can stick to their blade or look for another one. ------------- Virtuoso+ :: Mark V :: Mark V |

Date Posted: 11/04/2011 at 11:10pm
| My Expert doesn't vibrate hardly at all, well it does but it's a vibration with a purpose and a direction, not the haphazard kind of vibration you get on something like Stiga OC. With the expert is just makes a smooth kind of noise like a calming down as is relaxes from the last kick. I find the expert just as fast as a TBS (when and where it needs to be fast) but it's the extreme low gear where you can kill all pace off the ball and extreme speed variation you can easily put on the ball that makes the blade great, that's the main reason why it's a such a good rating improver |

| Actually, V+ doesn't vibrate at all. It is too stiff for that purpose. A blade without feedback is a dead piece of plywood. Of course, professional players may think otherwise. |

I agree, the V+ has practically no vibration. I find the Ultimate Vibrates but not in a bad way as it is more like feedback. A crisp feedback is probably the best way to describe the Ultimate.

So if we all were mash out brains together to decided what the next blade in OSP's line should be what would it be like?. For me the only thing obviously missing is a 5.0mm properly allround blade with more flex than the Expert. So it plays exactly like an old worn in Stiga allround. Another thing I'd like to see them attempt would be a very thin 7 ply, perhaps 5.0-5.2 mm with even LESS bounce than the Expert with a goal of it having the same flex as an expert although the flex kicking at a slightly higher swing speed, with the goal of the 7 plys just being a stronger kick. For me that would be the perfect blade. Same head size as the expert too, if they could make that and knock 5 grams out of the weight so it was 85 grams = perfect. That kind of blade would make Imago weak at the knees :0

Hi everybody, i am back . i decided to give myself another chance with the virtuoso and after some practice and thinner rubbers(rakza soft 1.8 fh/bh) i start to get the feeling. So i am again a member of the clan. Wonderful lively blade it is once you get used to it. So the set up is Virtuoso-M / fl (90 gr) Rakza soft 1.8 fh/bh. I LIKE IT A LOT.

Placements on what type of shots? Perhaps placement is a little more tricky with the OSP blades for passive blocking (where a more active stroke is required than carbon blades) and both smashing and loopdriving (where the catapult/flex of the blade engages, adds power and spin but also a level of unpredictability for players used to carbon's stiffness)? However, for serving, pushing and medium speed active topspinning I find OSP's blades placement to be at least the equal of larger sweet spot carbons. All the marketing talk that manufacturers have pushed about "longer trajectory" has some relevance here; the OSP blades seem to seem to produce a lot of deep placements when you topspin attack with them. I mentioned in the past that the Virtuoso has been the winningest blade I have ever used, and I often wonder if it's because such a large majority of the folks just above my level usually have a strong close to the table block or counterhit. Many of my topspins get close to the endline before dropping and it creates timing issues for those players. ------------- http://bit.ly/vLMhuB" rel="nofollow - - RC1042 .

Hi , since i am using a virtuoso-m with rakza soft both sides , i am wondering if anyone has experience playing this blade with markv or markv-gps since i want to quit playing glue-effect rubbers. Or may be with other "classic" europe rubbers like sriver/coppa/vario/mendo etc . Preferably in 2.0 mm greetings Mepper. ------------- There's no way but your own experience way. blade OSP Virtuoso / custom Alser grip FH tenergy 05 1.9 BH rozena 1.9 |

Hello everyone! I have read all the posts here and the staff want to request my participation in this clan because yesterday I bought an EXPERT also with OSP ... laughs! it has the following configuration: EXPERT ALL + / RST / Bh Handle I thought this setup because I like to play the base of loops & drives (Appelgren / Rosskopf). When I have to defend I turn away from the table and lift balls, or if you are near or at half distance I try to be cool and objective as J-O Waldner. I usually play with a deeper footprint and with a strong hand wrist as Christophe Legout (but not close completely) than to let loose the racket in my hand ... I love the sound and feel of old had a Stigas ERIK LINDH CO in 1987 ... I like woods that vibrate and thus have feedback on my hands to control the ball better and think on the next play. This becomes an unrivaled sensation of pleasure while playing table tennis! So I am in doubt as to the type of rubber to use and would like you to give me their opinions. Here in Brazil we like to use rubber 2.2 mm (MAX) and I like soft rubber as COPPA X3 (silver), Cornilleau Pilot Power, BTY Catapult, TIBHAR Genius Optimum Sound. I realized when the game with two rubber match (For example > COPPA X3) I gain strength in BH but lose speed in Fh ... what I gonna do? A Coppa X3 in Bh and COPPA X1 in the FH? and which thickness (2.0mm or MAX?). I am strongly considering using two rubber COPPA X2 (JO platin silver) MAX just like Mikael Appelgren do! I promise that once I get my timber to test it and tell you what I found! hugs! ------------- BLADE: Peter Korbel FL(BTY) RUBBERS: CORNILLEAU Pilot Power 2.2mm (BH)/ Pilot Advance 2.2mm(FH) |

mepper.....I have played my Virtuoso-L with Mark V 2.0, CJ8000-light, Rakza soft 2.0 and max, Rakza regular 2.0. Currently using Rakza soft 2.0 on both sides because I lost some control with the soft max. The soft max was very nice mid to long off the table....but harder short table play than the 2.0 The 2.0 soft has much more feel and touch ability for me. Using Mark V 2.0 on both sides.....very nice blocking and control hitting, but is was much slower obviously than Rakza's. I lost some of the touch close table play compared to the soft Rakza versions because the Mark V seems slightly more heavy or dense because of the topsheet and sponge. The CJ8000 swift-light 2.2 was a much lighter feeling and over all weight than the Mark V 2.0, but was nice for service because of the high tack in comparison. The Virtuoso- is plenty fast enough for me with the Rakza 2.0 on it for my touch and game play. Hope that helps. ------------- |

| I'll take a guess, Koto?or Limba it's a weird cut-Limba-Koto-Ayous-Koto-Limba-Koto or Limba, I'd need to see the blade up close to be sure but it really looks to have a lot of Koto in it |

bluebucket there are some nice close up pictures of this blade on OSP website.. There is one that I really like with the tool and measuring caliper and some wood and veneer. I had to save that one to my screen page.

Mind if i join? I just got my ultimate and have been using a clipper cr before hand. I must say that the feel is really different. You can feel a crisp vibration on topspins and it's like the blade actually grabs the ball and spins it for you. Not quite as fast as the clipper cr but i think it has more top end power.

I would prefer longer, DHS-headed cpens rather than Euro-shaped OSP heads. And the handles are too narrow.

hai rich thanks for sharing your experience with me. The virtuoso is a fantastic blade but i am getting an expert instead for speed reasons. i miss too much shots in the fast game, i hope the expert will give me more stability. Have you played the expert, if so can you share me youre experience?what kind of rubbers did you use and what is your playing style? thx, mepper. ------------- There's no way but your own experience way. blade OSP Virtuoso / custom Alser grip FH tenergy 05 1.9 BH rozena 1.9 |

mepper......Expert is little slower than the Virtuoso- and the expert has a little higher throw angle. I used Razka soft 2.0 both side on each blade. Although, the Expert did play well with regular Rakza 2.0 on it I must say. I had OPS make both the Expert and Virtuoso's in their L size head. The normal Expert is slightly larger which should give greater control. ------------- |

Here is my ticket to the clan  .
 I only play for about 1 hr. with it. Compare to my HK 655, it is a little softer, but stiffer feel. Short game feels more control, as it is a little slower than the HK. I did not play well with it, I must say, as I am not yet feel comfortable with it, most of my FH loops went long during game. IDK, but it seems to hold on the ball a little longer then the HK and gives a longer throw than I am accustomed to.
EDIT: It's L size.
