I really like Stiga for Japanese market, the finishing, performance of the blade is better than China and normal Stiga blades. ------------- Andro Wanokiwami AO Offensive 83 gr H3 National Orange 40 deg 2.2 Baracuda Max 182 Gr |

Thanks for your advise, I normally use 1 coat of waterbased varnish to seal my blades. Waterbased glue stick harder than voc glues. ------------- Andro Wanokiwami AO Offensive 83 gr H3 National Orange 40 deg 2.2 Baracuda Max 182 Gr |

The special order is 87 gr, the fish scale is 90 gr, the right one is 91 gr. The right one has a dry and hollow feel. The fish scale has a soft butter and springy feel. I like the fish scale over the right one. The special order has more solid, harder feel, the bounce is more stable than the commercial. I really understand why it cost 3x than the commercial version now.... http://s307.photobucket.com/user/peternmelly/media/20160626_013213.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s307.photobucket.com/user/peternmelly/media/20160626_013231.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  ------------- Andro Wanokiwami AO Offensive 83 gr H3 National Orange 40 deg 2.2 Baracuda Max 182 Gr |

Excuse me, but... will you play with all these blades? I would glue some sheets in that Clipper Wood and forget everything else. |

Yes, Japan and China are the best country to buy Stiga blades. It's more expensive than regular Stiga for european/other country market. ------------- Andro Wanokiwami AO Offensive 83 gr H3 National Orange 40 deg 2.2 Baracuda Max 182 Gr |

Well I will not play all those blades at the moment. I like collecting blades, especially the good and handpicked one. Bouncing the ball with bare blades already satifies me  ------------- Andro Wanokiwami AO Offensive 83 gr H3 National Orange 40 deg 2.2 Baracuda Max 182 Gr |

Butterfly custom blades do not have lenses or print on the blade face. ------------- OSP Ultimate; Dr. Neubauer Dominance Spin Hard max, Dr. Neubauer Troublemaker 0.5 http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=55835&title=feed-back-for-matt-pimple" rel="nofollow - My Feedback |

To make a difference between mass produced blades and custom made blades Plastic lense is cheap, the value of special versions is on the choice of wood material. It's selected, not by random. ------------- Andro Wanokiwami AO Offensive 83 gr H3 National Orange 40 deg 2.2 Baracuda Max 182 Gr |

The shop sells Tenis, badminton and Table Tennis. I forgot the name of the shop, I will check the invoice later. Here is the location of the store: https://goo.gl/maps/LWUqeLAmhZq Actually I had a lunch at this Ramen shop, when I went back to the station, I saw a shop that sell sport goods. The Ramen taste good, I like the fried rice. https://goo.gl/maps/SoewgwybS3x It's near Daigoji Temple, it's very nice and it's not crowded like Fushimi Inari or Kiyomizudera. ------------- Andro Wanokiwami AO Offensive 83 gr H3 National Orange 40 deg 2.2 Baracuda Max 182 Gr |

It's not a ready stock blade, If you want to buy, must order it, wait for 20 days for making it. I only found 1 pcs among 3 shops that I visited Yes it's 4 ply of Hinoki in the middle and 2 thin layer of Walnut top ply. ------------- Andro Wanokiwami AO Offensive 83 gr H3 National Orange 40 deg 2.2 Baracuda Max 182 Gr |

That sounds like an amazing combination, would love to hear how that plays. Of course you might not want to put rubbers on such a special blade. ------------- Smart; VS>401, Dtecs OX http://tabletennisshop.com.au/index.php?main_page=page&id=42" rel="nofollow - Tenergy Alternatives | http://tabletennis-reviews.com" rel="nofollow - My TT Articles |

If you remember the name of the shop, let me know. I haven't been to Fushimi area yet. I'm currently at Kyoto University (north of Kyoto JR Station). Since I'm asking anyway, do you know any clubs in Kyoto? thanks so much Sandiway

Here is the name of the shop: http://www.bway.jp/ I ride JR from Kyoto station to Rokujizo Station. It has only a few selection of table tennis stuff there. It's more Badminton and Tennis racket available for sale there. I'm not sure about table tennis club in Kyoto, since I haven't seen any yet. Just ask bway shop then ------------- Andro Wanokiwami AO Offensive 83 gr H3 National Orange 40 deg 2.2 Baracuda Max 182 Gr |
