There is no "best". It's the blade that fits each players style/level. If your speaking from a build quality standpoint then Leidy>Darker>OSP>Nittaku>BTY (high end)>Donic>Xiom> Tibar>Stiga. ------------- Wood Paddle Red side Black side. |

I think this is a silly thread unless the OP wants to re-title. Firstly, he assumes only offensive blades warrant to be called best. No defence blades No 1-ply. He omitted perhaps the most popular blade in history, Stiga Allround. Maybe you should call it "Your favourite multi-ply, offensive, Allwood blade" In that case, Stiga Offensive Classic. The Clipper was too hard and responsive.

| I can't believe the Nittaku Acoustic and Violin were both omitted from this list... They probably have the strongest following among the all wood blades (see here: http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19924&title=member-of-acoustic-and-violin-clan - http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19924&title=member-of-acoustic-and-violin-clan ). I am in love with my Acoustic L-size. Perfect blade for me. |

| The majority of good all wood blades are not on the list and some of those on the list like the Acoustic and NCT VII's shouldn't be on there at all imho. Acoustic might make the top 20 but it's not in the top 10 |

How much do you like your Darker S90? Is is worth the $150 more than BBC's or American Hinoki's? ------------- 1950 USATT BBC 1Ply Cypress Innerforce ZLC FH T64FX Red Former Member of Puerto Rico's National Team BH T80 Black |

The best wooden blade is that one which is found from a manufacturers and top level players for so many years (ago and after, up to this moment). More of the best - sellers from different manufacturers are with familiar construction, it is not a secret. In my Top 10 is the construction of Primorac Off - and Korbel Off. It is the same, there is only difference between the thickness in the center ply. The old Stiga 2000 from 60's is same as Korbel, while the old Stiga Kjell Johansson is near to Primorac Off-. Even the blade Waldner Dicon and Matsush*ta are near to these blades. Another very good combination of wooden plies is Clipper. Also blades from hinoki are very good. Lot of good players also found for their best blade for playing a combination between abachi and walnut with different blades between these two - limba, ayous and others. Of course, it is not developed yet a self-playing blade. :) I must also notice, lot of profesional players now can't play their best style without carbon layers in their blade, because of the too many changes of the rules... |

I am suprised that you don't consider Acoustic in the top 10 ( I am not saying it should be considered in that top 10 list, I don't have the comparative experience to state or dismiss that. My surprise is because of the reviews that generally got that blade). Which blades would be make the top 10 in your list?

I´ve never hit with last two. Darker is very expensive but if it´s worth depends on the amount you want to spend and the quality you get back. Since Speed 90 fullfilled all my expectations (soft feel, flawless power and better play then any other blade I tested before), I say it worths the money for me.

I just received a Mazunov FL and although it's supposed to be very heavy(102g) doesn't feel so at all. Definitely the best all wood blade I've tried so far. Very fast,with great control,superb feel amd joy to loop with.

Maybe what he meant to say is.... which are the most popular blades out there. In my country i can see there are lot's of Donic Burn blades, among the youngsters. The best juniors use Donic Li Ping Kitex , BTF Zhang Jike. But when I was younger most people used, BTF Grubba, Korbel, Primorac Carbon, I think was the blade Wich Marcos Freitas used to play when he played in Portugal, I remember the handle. STiga allround was very popular. ------------- Swing hard...or go home! |

| best wooden blade in what speed category? Clipper Wood, Hurricane King, and Korbel are great wooden blades. But they are all Off … Among the slower blades (ALL/DEF) I didn’t find an really outstanding wooden blade, though Stratus Powerdefense is not bad. |

Adidas V1.3 5 ply Hinoki blade (hinoki-awan-kiri-awan-hinoki). For me, just the right blend of control, power and speed. Good short game, easy for looping near the table, excellent on blocks and punch blocks with exceptional control and decent power when you step back a pace or two from the table. ------------- Blade: Rosewood NCT V FH: Dignics 05 Black BH: Moristo SP Red |
