For those of you who have read this, here are the links of the review pages:
All subsequent reviewers should put their reviews in the above threads. _____________________________________________________________________________________Recently, many manufacturers have launched well-reviewed new blades and rubbers. However, we rarely can find a club player / friend with that set-up at hand for us to try out first. At my local clubs, I see most players choosing from a small standard set of blades (TB-ALC / Viscaria, IF-ZLC, TB-ZLF / IF-ZLF, Clipper and it’s variants) or rubbers (generally a Tenergy or a Hurricane). I always wished there was a way for us to test the new, good stuff. Enter http://www.tabletennis11.com/" rel="nofollow - tabletennis11.com   (a shop that, in my personal opinion, has been the best overall online table tennis shop over the past year in terms of product availability, customer service / communication and pricing).Tabletennis11 would like to try out a new equipment testing scheme for myTT members in which they provide a few select blades and rubbers to us for testing. My guess is that the success (in terms of how many products we actually get to try) of this scheme depends on how well we behave (no ‘Delgado’ – type situations please). The general rules are as follows: If you’re interested in testing out a certain blade & have a good, long-standing reputation at mytabletennis.net, please PM me with your name and state/country to add you to the list. You co-ordinate with the tester before you on the list to receive the blade. You test the blade using your rubbers and easy-to-remove water based glue. You write your review in the appropriate thread (I'll start one for each blade and put the links in here). You then ship it quickly (after removing the WBG) to the next tester on the list at your cost (tracking number must be provided and insurance might be required depending on the blade). Please be careful with the blade and treat it well. We especially don’t want the blade to be lost. To begin with, I have the Nittaku Rutis Power blade available for review for mytabletennis.net members residing in the US / Canada.  If you have a good standing in the mytabletennis.net community and would like to review this blade, please send me a PM to put you on the review list. Later next week, I hope to have some info on a few more goodies that shall become available:  Thanks to http://www.tabletennis11.com" rel="nofollow - tabletennis11.com for making this possible!  ------------- Trade feedback: http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=50787" rel="nofollow - http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=50787 |

OK, I am done testing all these blades (initially with T05 / T05FX and then later with the rubbers they provided). I was just about to write up a comprehensive comparative review between the blades and the rubbers, when the postman brought this to my door:  This is a new highly regarded $250 7-ply all-wood blade, perhaps manufactured for Nittaku by Soulspin? http://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/tt-blade-nittaku-sieben-tt99602022#.U62nufldV8E" rel="nofollow - http://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/tt-blade-nittaku-sieben-tt99602022#.U62nufldV8E When tabletennis11.com mentioned that they would like to send to mytabletennis.net members quality blades for testing, they weren't kidding!  Specs of the blade they sent: Weight: 89g Thickness: 6.58mm (according to my calipers) Dimensions: 157x150 I just glued on a Tenergy 05 2.1 and Xiom Omega V Tour 2.0 on this blade - shall compare tonight and post all reviews tomorrow. Who's up for testing this? Please let me know by PM.

Meanwhile, here is the current short list for testing for all the blades - I'll keep it updated here. Please PM me if you want to be added to the list. Come on fatt - if you're a MJ fan, you've got to try the Acoustic Carbon!
 Nittaku Rutis Power:
Nittaku Acoustic Carbon:
Nittaku Ludeack Fleet:
Nittaku Meister Holz Sieben:
Members with their names in bold above: please PM me your name and address. I plan on mailing the blades & rubbers on Monday. The Rutis Power and the Holz Sieben shall be mailed 'blade only'. The Acoustic Carbon shall be mailed with new Bluefire JP-01 and The Ludeack Fleet shall be mailed with new Evolution MX-P and All the rubbers above are in max thickness. So, with each of the two blades, the tester gets 1 medium-hard rubber and 1 medium-soft rubber to test.

Aaaah, what a pitty, that these blades are only for US-testers.  Do you know, if tabletennis11.com is willing to spend such testing-blades also for european members? I would like to test this wonderful Meister Holz 7. ------------- http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51774&title=feedback-magic-m" rel="nofollow - My Feedback |

As per AndySmith's suggestion, our plan now is to send the blades to Europe for testing rounds once we're done in the US. So, yes, I can add your name to the list if you want. Jolan is running a similar tabletennis11 testing program in France. I got the Rutis Power and Meister from him for TT11.

Yes, that would be fine, but there is still one question: when could that be? I am not interested to test the blade next year. By the way: I sold several blades into the USA. With priority (air mail) the sending-time is not longer than 1-2 weeks normally. It is always a question of the shipping-method. Sometimes it happened, that the blade arrived within 3 or 4 days in the USA (from Germany), but it needs more than a week within the USA, until the package reached the receiver.  ------------- http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51774&title=feedback-magic-m" rel="nofollow - My Feedback |

Looks like we are almost ready for the blades to come to Europe. To avoid multiple shipping charges, is it worth sending all the blades to one person in Europe at the same time in one package? That doesn't have to be me, obviously. Would need a bit of coordination at the US end though. ------------- This was a great signature until I realised it was overrated. |

That could be done. A big unknown is that it might attract customs scrutiny. Another is, to put it bluntly, after a near-incident, I'd prefer if one member did not have all blades in their possession. I think I might ship 2 blades over to Europe & forum member blade shall ship you one. ------------- Trade feedback: http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=50787" rel="nofollow - http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=50787 |

Posted By: AndySmith
Date Posted: 07/30/2014 at 6:38am

UK customs are difficult. I did the commercial samples thing with a ross Leidy blade and it didn't help. Also, anything over $20 will get taxed, with a $15 admin fee on top. So 4 individual shipments will add up a lot, in addition to the postage charges for the people sending. I'm on holiday this week with patchy internet. I can't do much at present. ------------- This was a great signature until I realised it was overrated. |

Please delete me from the test-list for Nittaku Meister. It seems to be to complicated here. I am no longer interested.
