Samsonov Alpha vs Xeon Sensitec

Anyone tired these blades and so please give some feedback about them. I currently use Photino with H3 fh regular and T64 bh, and although its a pretty good setup, I have tried some club mate's paddles that are rated slower but seem to also work well for me, hence the interest in these slower blades. Thanks in advance. Oh, I am close to the table, block and smasher, with occasional fh loop.

Great thank you. I do use top spin over the table frequently and although Photino is great for most situations it is a little less predictable and difficult to control for the topspin over the table. Any suggestion for a blade that fits my style?

I just received the TSP Award Offensive Reflex 50 from mytt.net, and from the brief robot session I just had, it seems like a very viable option for anybody looking for a 5 ply wood blade with a slightly stiffer feel for blocking. Oddly enough, there seems to be a black layer in between the wood, but it's definitely not carbon, I recall reading it's some sort of cloth somewhere, but I can't affirm that yet. Also interesting to note is the handle is actually VERY similar to the Tibhar Sensitec "technology". The Xeon Sensitec was my first real paddle before I broke it hitting it against my leg in frustration , and the handle has the same unique look to it, which leads me to believe they're the same technology.

I also see that the regular Reflex off is speed/control is listed as 10/9 where as award 50 is 9/5?

Great. That would seem work. Now all I got to do is find the difference between Award 50 and regular off reflex.
