Friendship/729 C-5

I wonder why not many people review this blade. It’s a very recommended blade for beginners. The handle is very comfortable for those who have big hands. Top ply is medium soft, and the blade has some flex and it also has soft vibrations (very good for beginners to learn the feeling when touching the balls). And it has some soft catapult effect also. Speed is slow, but if you put a pair of hard rubbers (boosted), the problem will be solved. I use Loki Rxton 45° (boosted 7x) on FH and 729 Cross General 42° orange sponge (boosted 5x), and it’s a very good setup. Dwell time is good, which can make you learn how to brush the balls better. Spinny serves, loops, and flicks are very fun to do. Overall, this blade is a good blade for beginners to learn TT and level up your skills and techniques. Very easy to use and very fun to play with.

Ini adalah kayu yang murah meriah. Kontrolnya bagus, cocok untuk pemula yang baru belajar tenis meja. Kecepatan agak lemah di posisi jauh dari meja. Secara keseluruhan, lumayanlah sesuai dengan harganya.

C-5 is a really nice blade. It has a pleasant soft touch and feel when looping, providing gentle feedback in the palm. The thickness is 6.5mm and the weight is 75gr. It has a thick handle which is very comfortable for both forehand and backhand shots. Overall, it is a nice blade with a very reasonable price.
