It’s a good blade for beginners.

The blade’s aesthetics may not impress many, but its performance is surprisingly exceptional. Compared to pre-made blades from Stiga, this blade significantly outperforms them. For a genuine table tennis experience, consider investing in high-quality equipment rather than settling for inferior options like this subpar blade.

Actuellement utilisé avec Donic F3 bigslam en tant que débutant, le bois est très léger et très agréable. J’ai également le bois Yinhe T11+.
À comparer, le 4L Balsa est plus souple, moins rigide. Avec les plaques Donic 2 mm sur coup droit et 1,8 mm sur revers, j’ai des difficultés pour le petit jeu près de la table. Il y a un vrai effet trampoline lié aux plaques, surtout les coupes en coup droit. J’ai tenté, au regard du prix, le Yinhe avec Galaxy Mercury 2 et je m’en sors un peu mieux.

Мягкое, контрольное. Балса — этим, наверное, всё сказано.

Легкость и контроль — вот как можно ее охарактеризовать.

Good control and easy to use!

Many have commented on how nice this blade feels in the hand: handle and weight distribution are perfect. I rate the speed of this blade as “all” to “all+”, so control is its strong feature, while the blade’s lightness allows for fast, nimble attacking strokes which can surprisingly really pack a punch! Probably best suited to close to medium distance from the table players. Blade is nice and rigid thanks to harder outer plies (no annoying vibrations) but soft balsa core nevertheless allows for exceptionally strong feedback. Hard outer and soft inner plies perfectly complement Euro or Chinese rubbers respectively. Do not expect the super-large sweet spot of heavier, non-balsa blades, but the sweet spot is still more than sufficient. Though arguably not the most “potent” blade out there, this has still become my trusty and consistent “go to” blade when I absolutely cannot afford to lose unnecessary easy points.

I had tried a balsa wood before but found it too fast (8.5). This is perfect. I can look at a spot to aim the ball, and no matter what speed and spin is on it, this paddle helps me place it where I want to. It’s light, easy to maneuver, and controllable. Love it.

Like the old, good TT Master wood. Light and soft.

Super light blade, great for women players and kids. Lacks from far away from the table, but I’m guessing anyone who’s good enough for that would start clear from this paddle to begin with. Great with Mark V (or rubbers similar) in 2.0 on both sides. Great beginner blade.

Great paddle for beginner children or females. It is very light, not fast at all, but it has great control. It is easy to use. However, it would be hard to win points with speed unless your rubbers are really fast. It is great for perfecting technique. This paddle with some cheap all-around rubbers would be a good setup for a beginner. As always, tabletennis11.com has the best price.

Очень легкое основание! При весе всего 70 г позволяет больше работать кистью. Само собой, при тренировке, при отработке повторяющихся элементов техники продолжительность выполнения увеличивается в разы, меньше устаешь. Возрастает реакция на мяч. Чувство мяча очень хорошее. Обладая этими преимуществами, также есть и свои минусы. Заказывал с накладками friendship 729 super с обеих сторон. Получилась ракетка, как говорится, “пахать и пахать”. Очень требовательная к технике! Не довел движение, не обработал мяч как надо — всё, и мяч уже под сеткой. Соответственно, при игре на счет начал больше проигрывать. Зато дало лучше понимать приходящее вращение, хотя играю всего год. Стиль игры активный, нападающий. В целом ракетка понравилась. Может, с другими накладками будет легче зарабатывать очки, но в данном случае, как и говорил, требует хорошего уровня техники.

Top! I want to buy some more, and maybe I will forget the whole order because some of the other things that I want are in the weekly special, but tabletennis11 didn’t have FL handle — concave. I wanted it so much that I think I will not order the other stuff….

This is my first custom blade, and I am very satisfied with it. Very light, handle is just perfect for my hand. Great control, no lack of speed.

It is an all+ blade, with very good control. I’m playing with DHS Neo 3 on the forehand and with Friendship Ma Long (German sponge) on the backhand. I’m very satisfied with the control, block, spin attack, and great feeling.

Très bonne combinaison avec Rakza 7 soft.
