729 Yellow ALC has been my recent go-to practice blade. There are few things I like, and few things I dislike about this blade.
What I love about this blade is that, I can match it with my favourite rubber, 729 Battle Max Pro (BMP), and it’s a combo that works. The blade is hard and stiff, bringing out the best in BMP. Unfortunately, my other blades such as Fang Bo 2 and Hurricane Long 5x don’t seem to bring the out the best in the BMP.
The second thing I like about this blade is that it is very consistent, meaning my shot don’t seem to vary despite hitting the ball at different spots. It’s also really cheap blade for its quality, so I don’t feel heartache when I accidentally hurt the blade.
The downside about this blade for me, is the handle. I didn’t feel it initially, but after playing other blades for a month and coming back to it, my palm hurts to play it. Somehow, the handle feels too big, and gripping it (as I normally do for every blade) hurts after a while of playing, especially my backhands.
Overall, I still like this blade, and would probably consider buying some spares as practice blades. Its quality reminds me of Yinhe V14 Pro, but with a handle too big.
Soft and rather slow, the Offensive minus blade provides plenty of stability and control at a low cost. It’s well-suited for serves, loops, and pushes. However, it’s not a particularly good blade for flicks. For those, I prefer harder Koto blades.
This 96-gram blade offers a hard and fast playing experience. When tested with hard rubbers, it performed exceptionally well for looping, but the overall feel may be too hard for some players. Due to its weight, the blade may benefit from pairing with softer rubbers to counterbalance its firmness.
