#1 — Long Time Ago...
Update after the first session:
Blade: Diode Pro 90gr
The FH side: H3 Neo market 39 deg
- Very heavy top spin, but the speed is slower than FangBo2X (of course because FB is off++).
- The 5-ply all wood 5.5mm construction gives a catapult effect much bigger than the FangBo2X 6.0mm with inner carbon. You can return the ball slowly with a passive block, but the kick-effect is huge when counter attacking.
- Very heavy backspin due to the long contact time with the ball. With a tacky H3 rubber, you feel like you are holding the ball on your bat.
- Flat hit at average speed.
- Nice placement.
- Block is almost automatic; the ball cannot go off the table due to its average speed.
The BH side: Saviga Monster 77 ox
- Block near the table is almost automatic; you actually cannot miss. Just catch the ball, and the bat will do it itself. So boring (or funny, ha ha ha). Blocking topspin always results in the ball going short with heavy backspin, making it really hard for opponents to launch a dangerous attack. They will choose to open with a safer and slower attack, which you can counter-attack or just continue blocking.
- Chopping far from the table is so sweet. The ball goes very low, near the net, and the fly trajectory is soooooo nice.
- Very controllable placement.
- I just changed from pimple in to long pip 2 months ago and do not have other long pip skill to review.
Summary:
- Speed is above average (feeling like ALL+ to OFF-) to loop kill with heavy monster top spin.
- A “cannot miss” feeling with magic placement.
- Suitable for counter-attack or modern defender players.

It’s a slow blade that has a lot of control and allows you to chop even harder, but also has enough speed for attacking. The sound of the blade is also obviously slow. If you want to add speed, I would suggest putting a faster rubber, like Tenergy 64, and a slightly faster type of pimples or a thicker sponge, minimum 1.0mm to 1.5mm.
