ALL+ Blade recommendation

Exist a lot of blades between OFF- / ALL+ blades. But I'm loking for personal recommendations.

I'm looking for a OFF- (minus, minus, minus...) or ALL+ blade, light 80gr. maximum, 5 plies (not necessary), little vibrations, soft outer plies... A good starting point can be a Nittaku Violin or under.

Nittaku Latika Light? Nittaku Clout?

Thanks in advance.

Nittaku Latika Light is very good (handle rather small). Nittaku Clout is faster and is OFF class.

Just a few good ones: P500, Primorac EX, AVX 550, Burn ALL+(some vibration but good), Runlox-5 (P500)(anyone can play with this blade) Burn OFF-, Persson Power Allround. There are many more for sure but these are my fav's.

My hand is not very big...

I've got a SP5 (P500) but mine is extremely fast compared with other units. I want something ALL+ /OFF- clearly.
My first option is still Latika light bit I'll take a look to donic persson one. Thanks.

Donic Appelgren Allplay
Yasaka Extra

Both can be found at 80g.

IF you got the money,go for Violin.
Amazing blade really.


and stay away from Yasaka extra-the new blades are crap...


if money are issue appelgreen allplay-good qty/price rate.

Nittaku Violin is a superb blade with a lot of good reviews, great control and feeling. Also the Nittaku Acoustic is similarly a blade very well known for having very good feeling, so perhaps you may also want to look at that.

forgot to mention that Latika is off-/off.
Other blades with limba outer like stiga allround, osp expert or butterfly grubba are other good choices.

Donic Waldner Senso V1 or V2 match all your criteria.

Well, speed is a blade characteristic independent from the rubbers that are used.  I agree that Violin is "fast enough" for offensive play, but it is rather flexible and you have to supply your own speed if you want fast shots.

Let me try to prove my statement that Violin is ALL+.

1) My game is ALL+ and I love Violin ;-)

2) Nittaku itself defines Violin as "mid-slow":

You may object that manufacturers' assessment of their own blades is often not very objective (pardon the pun).

3) Violin may be labeled as "offensive" by Nittaku. However, Nittaku only labels blades as either "offensive" or "defensive". Violoncello (aka Vioncello) is the same blade as Violin, only with a bigger plate size, and is labeled as "defensive". In the chart above, they have the same speed.

4) Other reviewers have objectively measured the speed of blades and have defined Violin as being ALL+ as well. E.g., the following is a review of Violin copied from IGSSTERN's web site (unfortunately, the English version was discontinued):

Somebody knows about Nittaku Torua?

Nexy Peter Pan can be compared to Nittaku Violin or they are so different?

Grubba carbon. I'll leave you one that I have for you to try, but mine has more than 15 years. It is the old model with red and black handle.
Greetings doc.

Great blade. Much better than the current Grubba Carbon (black/white handle, made in china).
