Not for me…

Looper dream blade…

Good quality from Nittaku.

#2 — September 2015

This blade has good speed. The FL handle is very nice.

#3 — August 2013

Another quality blade from Nittaku, made in Japan. The blade feels light despite weighing around 85g. It is great for developing stroke techniques and quick plays.

Well balanced and relatively light, the blade allows for quick stroke movements. It is suitable for forehand drives, topspins, and sidespins. While not as exceptional for backhand and pushes, it still performs adequately.

#4 — April 2013

A little bit of vibration when hitting the ball. Not a fast blade, making it suitable for training due to its light weight and flexibility.

The blade offers a heavenly feel with accurate feedback and control. Classified as an OFF/OFF- blade, its speed falls between the Acoustic and TBS levels, providing a noticeable upgrade from the Acoustic but not reaching extreme speeds. The hard top ply enhances the ball feel upon contact, making it challenging to switch to other blades once accustomed to its unique characteristics.

Optimal performance is achieved with hard or medium-hard rubbers. The author’s current setup includes Aurus FH and Tibhar 1Q-XD BH, which yields excellent results. However, the blade also complements rubbers such as Bluefire M1, Baracuda, and Acuda S2, adding a distinct dimension to their performance. The blade excels in close-mid table play, offering a slight flex for full swing shots while allowing for quick snaps and punch blocks when playing up close.

The secret behind the blade’s capabilities lies in its G-Carbon construction, which incorporates glass fiber impregnated carbon fleece. After experimenting with numerous blades (approximately 35-40), the author selected this particular blade for its exceptional attributes.

I like it. It’s the best blade for technical players.

Very good blade!

Very nice look! Good weight - 85 grams.

Powerful, with a lot of control in hits. Amazing speed and control at the same time. Good for topspin, block: topspin vs topspin, topspin vs underspin, block vs topspin. Not very good for defensive elements of table tennis: play with underspin. Serve - okay. Smash - good.

I have DHS Hurricane 3 Neo on FH and Sword Back off on BH.
