Blade Speed Ratings by experienced MYTT members

I've seen many people, including myself, getting misled by significant variations in speed ratings given by manufacturers. So, here I'm compiling a list of blades according to their speeds ranging from DEF- to OFF+

I haven't played with many blades so the list I'm putting is severely deficient. All experianced players from MYTT are requested to add to the list below so that new and budding EJs can buy blades fearlessly. The ratings in the list are accordong to blade speed for 40+ balls. So the blades which were rated fast for 40mm are rated somewhat slower

DEF- :

DEF :

DEF+ :

ALL- :

ALL :

ALL+ : Yasaka Extra Offensive

OFF- : Nittaku Septear, Joola Rossi Emotion, Avalox P700

OFF : Yasaka Goiabao 5, Stiga Clipper

OFF+ : Donic Ovtcharov Carbospeed, Yasaka Max Carbon 3D

Blade can be slow but springy, or flexy, which can give impression of speed. I had such blade, i used it very successfully for loop/block/punch game, it was like slower off blade. But, I play close to table. From distance this blade is slow, like def.

TBS can be slow if your srroke is slow, but on smash it is very fast. It can block well against weak loops, but on good loop it can send ball far from table.

So it'all relative to playing style(and opponent :) )

I think blade for drive and blade for spin is also good rate on low level, from my own experience.
