Not well known but a very good blade. I was looking for a blade to replace my Donic Waldner Carbon which is too head heavy for me and a little too slow.

The Greenshank can do everything even better than the Donic. It is light as well but also well balanced and more powerful with a speed in the Off- range. Looping with the Greenshank is quite easy as well as blocking and short pushing.

But I wouldn’t recommend using soft rubbers with this blade as the play becomes mushy. I play it with a CTT National Hero and that works fine for versatile attacking.

This is a fantastic blade that is criminally underrated. I love the soft touch from the outer layer, and the speed is still there when needed. It’s very light (mine is 78g) and well-balanced. Looping is quite easy, as well as blocking. I tried the Redshank before, but this blade is much softer and versatile without lacking speed.

It’s made in China but is of very good quality. As mentioned before, the handle is quite small in length, so I’ve extended it with a slice of cork.

It is a very good blade with good speed, spin, and control. Looping is very easy with this blade. The weight is very light, but it still has enough speed to kill the ball. Moreover, it is quite cheap. I have played with Gergely 21, Viscaria, Stiga Carbokev, and Donic Caebokev, and I found this blade to be better and easier to play. The only thing I don’t like is the handle, which is too small.
