Deska za 30 zł i tak gra.

Deska za 30 zł i tak gra. To zdanie opisuje stół do tenisa stołowego, który jest wykonany z taniego materiału, ale mimo to jest funkcjonalny. Jest to stwierdzenie dotyczące stołu do ping-ponga, który mimo niskiej ceny jest nadal grywalny.

Blocker blade. Good for looping and smash. Hard rubber is recommended. Head is heavy. Good quality from Xiom.

I have the Stradivarius 88g and I am now using the V1 86g. In a fair test, both were put with Max Vega Pro on both sides. I found the V1 to have a slightly faster touch. Otherwise, I cannot separate these two blades. The V1 has a slightly harder feel. I think weight is important when buying blades. According to the Xiom scale, it can make the difference some of the time. The V1 was meant to be slower, but it is not. The main strength of both blades is looping. I can’t make up my mind which to use! 10/10 for both.
