The Friendship/729 Hao Shuai Champion Carbon table tennis blade is a well-balanced and high-performance blade made from a 6-ply construction. It combines five layers of wood (including outer layers of Ayous and an inner layer of Hinoki) with a single ply of carbon on the forehand side. This unique blend of materials results in an overall rating of 8 out of 10, with a speed rating of 10 and a control rating of 8.3. What sets this blade apart is its stiffness rating of 6.9 and hardness rating of 7.1, making it an ideal choice for players who seek a responsive and powerful blade without compromising control. With a weight of approximately 80 grams, it offers a consistent feel and excellent feedback, allowing players to execute precise shots with ease.
The Friendship/729 Hao Shuai Champion Carbon blade is a versatile option suitable for a wide range of playing styles. Its perfect balance and optimal stiffness make it an excellent choice for both offensive and defensive players. The incorporation of carbon fiber on the forehand side provides additional power and stiffness, enhancing the blade's overall performance. Users have praised its exceptional spin generation and control, making it suitable for all-around play.
Whether you're a beginner seeking a reliable and easy-to-control blade or an experienced player looking for a high-quality option, the Friendship/729 Hao Shuai Champion Carbon blade is definitely worth considering.
The blade is no longer in production. It offers good control and is not as fast as one might anticipate. However, it can be quite fast when paired with the appropriate rubber. Moreover, the blade is lightweight and of high quality.
I have equipped the blade with a Yasaka Rakza X on the forehand side and a long pip with sponge (1.0) on the backhand side (without carbon). While the blade is too fast for passive blocking, it performs well in an active long pip game. The head is slightly oversized compared to some other standard blades.
I was fortunate enough to acquire a second blade from Malaysia. It is intriguing why there are not more asymmetrical 6-ply blades like this one being manufactured.
I have recently upgraded to this blade and I love it! It is very light but still gives great power. I am currently playing with Gambler Outlaw on my forehand and Gambler Reflectoid on my backhand. The carbon layer on the forehand side adds to the speed of the Outlaw, but does not speed up the slow Reflectoid backhand rubber. Great blade!
