I think my power7 after 25 years is about done. Looked online and the only power7 I found were in another country for 4x what I paid for mine back in the days. Tried a graphite composite blade by Palio and Butterfly and they are not for me. Feel like your hitting with a piece of metal, the feed back is so small. So I think I need a wood blade.
Any recommendations for good 7 ply wood blade with a compact head that people are using these days.

Joola Viva might fit the bill, I'd suggest getting a flared handle though, the straight was much too small for me.
I personally like the Stiga Clipper, but it doesn't have a compact head and is head heavier than the Viva.

stiga clipper wood, inexpensive and solid blade, i hear many good things about PG7 but i havent tried it though, i honestly dont know what dimension is compact head is but if compact it means as small as tibhar samsonov alpha then clipper is not compact

Two very good ones:
1. Stiga Clipper Wood, the regular version
2. Avalox BT 777, perhaps not as famous as the Clipper but very nice quality. Head size is slightly bigger than compact but you won't notice it unless you use max on both sides. These usually are around 87 gr.-92 gr. Outstanding ST grip. Edited by frogger - 05/08/2012 at 12:19am |

I saw it on ebay for like $85 + $25 shipping to the US.
So back in the days of 38mm balls, 21 point games, when men just discovered fire, I got the blade in $20-$30 range.

Donic Ovtcharov senso is also a good 7ply all wood blade.
I owned power 7, Ovcharov senso, and clipper.For me Ovtcharov is the best

Paddlepalace also sells the Avalox BT Series. If you want a softer 7-ply then Avalox P700 is also very nice but you will have to seal it as it does not come factory sealed. Very nice blades indeed.

Looking for something at around 86 grams. Do the Avalox have a weight chart for their blades?

I have just ordered a Joola Viva from its Hungarian distributor at a bargain price (~25 dollars - 4.900HUF) because read cool reviews about it.

Weight chart from manufacturer will have tolerance that sometimes can exceed 10 grams. If you want to select the weight, you have to contact the seller and ask them what is the available weight alternatives. I always do this with iruiru. |

I have called them for you. The bad news is that they ship goods only in Hungary :( I am sorry about that. You should ask information about it at your national distributor. Good luck. |

Tibhar Illusion Killer is nice and light, though it's a bit on OFF- side and seems hard to find with shakehand handle...

I use to hate hard, stiff, and heavy blade, until I play with Stiga Rosewood 7, which is hard, stiff, and heavy, but it plays so well, I changed my mind. Give it a try, you maybe hooked for life .

you could also go for sk7 which probably has similar shape to power-7
more similar than any other brand at least. and the ply construction is exactly the same as power-7. I mean in thickness of layers, not sure type of wood used. Edited by sa01 - 05/08/2012 at 10:58pm |

I know it is only a 5 ply blade, but I am very pleased with this one I got:
http://www.tabletennisdb.com/blade/joola-flame-extreme.html I like the extra thick handle, fits better in my hand. The slower ones have a thinner handle though :( Wicked fast wood blade, somewhat faster than the timo boll spirit I used to play with. Very stiff, but great control as far as I can tell, better than TBS at least, but I was raised on an all wood blade so I am biased. I don't like how the new carbon blades feel. They feel dead to me. If this blade were about 5 grams lighter and slightly slower, but with the same thick handle it would be perfect. |
