- Defensive blades are excluded from the poll.
- I´ve listed those I believe the best and most popular 5-ply, all-wood blades on the market, sorry if I forgot some great blade.
- It doesn´t matter the blade being shakehand or penhold.
- Feel free to post any comments.

Wish i can choose more than one. IMO Korbel, Violin, Acoustic are the best, the old gen korbel at 60-70$ was a bargain you can't beat. Had to go with Korbel on this one.

I've owned quite a few PKorbels (w/ all 3 diff. handle & old or new tags & w/ or w/o serial codes) over the last few yrs. I can't deny that PK, (genuine 1) is really a nice & amazing all wood blade, affordable & simple yet unforgettable. I still have 1 w/ An. handle which I intend to play until eternity. Stern Smile
Now, what about my OSP Virtuoso An. came w/ just painted logo? Wow, it was a shocker the 1st time I played it w/ cheap chinese rubbers. The feedback/control was/still is amazing/mesmerizing. For me. THE best all wood blade of all.
I love & am inspired by Malala Yousufzai's "True & Tough" LIFE STORY

I know that OP could not mention all blades but it is unforgiveable to leave out the Stiga (Alser) Allround classic. It is perhaps the biggest selling non-recreational blade ever. It's been in production since the 1960s and is still Stiga's biggest seller...or so I've seen somewhere.

I thought about it but decided to list Offensive Classic instead since it is also very popular and was used by none less than Wang Liqin.
I would like to have more options to list but manage to include the Allround Classic removing Rosewood V, which had no vote so far.
Also enabled multiple votes now.

The Bentsson blades I have owned (same build as the Alser all round wood) have all been more off- to off not at all an all around speed like say a current applegrin allplay type blade.

They feel and play very close to the Acoustics I have tried, pretty much the same speed and characteristics, I just have a little better ball feel and feeling of control with the old Bengtsson's.  Similar playing blades though.  I wonder if some of the enhanced feeling is because the old Bengtsson's have a bigger oversize face than the Acoustics.

Have you noticed what has happened to this poll?? Someone is loading the box on you.  There is no way Violin is now that high.  The voting tab will let you cast multiple votes in a row.  Someone figured that out and went Violin wild.   How do I know.  It let me cast an extra vote or two, or three.Wink I stopped my darkside at three.
I cannot tell what blade I voted for but it is better than Violin.Tongue

I used Korbel for quite a long time.  I think it is the benchmark of 5-ply all wood blade.

I also like Tibhar Samsonov Alpha and Donic Dicon.

But currently I play best with Stiga Infinity VPS V.    So I vote Stiga Infinity VPS.
Blade : Just wood
FH : black rubber
BH : red rubber

I try not to cheat, but curiously I vote twice for Stiga Infinity VPS V.   It accepted both my votes.  So I guess JoeB is right.  The poll should be set so that each member can only vote once.

My second vote is only for testing.  So deduct one vote for Stiga Infinity VPS V

Andro Wanokiwami AO for me, it has a speed of TBS/Viscaria, but it has a nice direct feel.
My blade is 83 gr, but total setup become 183 gr. It has a larger Head size compared to normal blades.

H3 National Orange 40 deg 2.2
Baracuda Max

I decided to delete the poll. Since I allowed multiple votes anyone could vote more than 1 time in the same blade and those numbers were not real.

Thank you for taking care of this. I'm sure there is a way to set the poll up so that people can only vote once
I guess you could then restart the poll. Up to you, but thank you for a good idea

I believe there is an issue with the poll system in this forum.
In other forums, polls with multiple votes allow you to choose more than one option and than vote. But this same user is not able to vote again.

Hello guys I want to see the available choises but I dont see anything in order to vote. Is it only me or there is something that needs to be fixed? Anyway my best 5 plywood blade I have played with, is the OSP virtuoso.

I deleted all options on the poll because there was an issue with multiple votes. People were voting more than one time in the same blade.
Anyway thanks for your opinion.
