I'm looking for a blade suitable for looping, power looping, counter looping, and blocks. Also, I'm looking for a blade having these properties and a square-straight handle. Any suggestions?
 (If at all possible, no Butterfly please  ) |

A Primorac off- made in Japan with a weight around 92gr...but this is a Butterfly :))) An old Banda Waldner is also a possibility but your budget would feel it... More seriously, Nittaku acoustic, hinoblaze or the "magical" barwell fleet are some possibilities outside the Butterfly world.

Sorry, nobody fits this description better than BTY. Timo Boll Straight handles are exactly as you describe, and Spirit and ALC and perfect for what you want. If you are thinking about the price, keep it in good shape and you can resell at very small loss. That property can be attributed only to BTY blades. In my personal experience its easier to resell BTY at 15% loss than Tibhar or Donic at 50% loss. ------------- 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 |

Just tryed HRT-2093 china made black carbon blade. GREAT control and speed, I'd rate this blade speed ALL+. Happily surprised about the blade's superb perceptibility on smashing the ball. All carbons I have had in my possession till now, were rather dumb feel. Agreeable price of this blade is the virtue to admire most. |

I'm currently using Nittaku Redshank. I've tried Galaxy W-6 and DHS PG7 if you're not familiar with Redshank.

Nexy Calix Series has the specs and handle you crave, but none of them are in the bargin corner...
Original Calix Low OFF range, Calix II OFF range, Qabod is low OFF+ range
Calix loops more continuous and bangs like a champ.
Calix II has the best feel and overall OFF flexible potential
Qabod will make you want to hit the ball through your opponents and their coaches in one shot. ------------- Korea Foreign Table Tennis Club Search for us on Facebook: koreaforeignttc |

NBSR you can try also nexy lisom.It would be a great blade for you, and squared handle as you like it! ------------- OSP Virtuoso SQST Tenergy 05(black 1,9mm FH) Tenergy 05(red 1,9mm BH) http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=74157&title=feedback-strataras" rel="nofollow - Feedback |

You could try the Nittaku Barwell Fleet, it's reasonably squared in the straight handle and is great for offensive play! http://www.tabletennis11.com/other_fr/tt-blade-nittaku-barwell-fleet" rel="nofollow - http://www.tabletennis11.com/other_fr/tt-blade-nittaku-barwell-fleet ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6QlKrAbsMQ?utm_source=mytt-signature" rel="nofollow - Click Here to see TableTennis11 CEO Sergei Petrov's Introductory Interview - Tabletennis11.com |

Well if I remember correctly redshank was not that super fast at all. On the light side, good feeling good arc, good control off- to off blade. Martin is allwood but a bit harder a bit heavier and crispier. Not that thick but a hard blade. A bit heavy 90gr. ------------- Nittaku Tenaly Acoustic Inner Carbon Joola Rhyzer Pro 50 & 45 |

Although Stratus Power Wood ST handle is not SQ ST, it is one of the most comfortable straight handles I tried so far. Samsonov Force Pro ST looks nice. YEO ST is also very comfortable. http://www.iruiru.com/images/b/bb115l.jpg" rel="nofollow - TSP Gaia (5ply wood, 6.6mm thick) and Besty (composite) have squared ST handles silmilar to Butterfly TB serie.

DHS PG7 was great with DHS rubbers and I thought it did well in terms of looping and blocking. However, I don't really want to gamble again with the quality control. But I might just buy one along with this new blade I'm looking for, since it's not too expensive. Anyway, does anyone know the difference of the Samsonov Alpha with the blue handle as opposed to the one from before? And basing on the Alpha SGS pictures of straight handle, is the Samsonov Alpha square-straight as well?

Redshank is definitely not very fast but what I did like about it is that although it's carbon, since it's thin, it gave the impression of not being too stiff. It has very good control and is excellent in blocking. The handle is rather thin but grip tape solved that. Redshank is usually light weight but the one I received was 89g - rather heavy for such a thin and small blade. |

Simply go to the OSP blades website - select the blade which fits the attributes you desire ( I would say Virtuoso Off- from your description, but I have tried Virtuoso + too and it will suit you well also) Then chose the handle type (several handles to chose from AND you can ask for custom made) and finally chose the head size and you're good to go... In my opinion these are the best wood blades on the market - other blades just do not come close... I have tried many blades of OSP, none disappointed me... ------------- OSP Virtuoso (Off-) MX-P (Max) Mantra M (Max) Backup: Yasaka Extra Offensive, Nittaku H3 Prov 729-802 SP |

Depending on how you want to loop you may want a flexible blade. But for precise blocking, you may want a stiff blade. So there's some contradicting requirements here. If you want to stay in the same speed range of W-6, try Nexy Lissom. It has a nice square handle, too (actually, more rectangular than squared). If you want a crisper feel but still plenty of dwell time for loops, try a composite blade with hinoki outer plies, such as Nexy Arirang. If you want it crisper and faster, too, try Tibhar Inca or Bty Photino. These Nexy and Tibhar blades have a ST handle with perfectly flat top and bottom surfaces, which helps a lot in getting a precise feeling of the blade angle. See nexy.com for pictures or the review threads (accessible from the Nexy clan link in my signature). ------------- Nexy Arche & Nittaku Violin LG.
