why u want YEO? bcos ma lin used it?

nop
one of the good blade anyway~
i dun care who use it de lah, as long as it is cheap and good
i will consider~
but i heard that YEO is quite hardXD
haiz

YEO imho sounds hard. it's harder than Hurricane Hao and close to HKing.

it's a really light and thin blade. very sharp feel but quite controllable. rebound is excellent with a wood feel (5 ply).

i use it with H2#19 on FH. that setup gives me superb control but speed is lacking. i need to work very hard to make sure the ball flies faster.

bro lanatir, i got hurricane III for state(2pcs red n black) n national(1pcs red) level de.. here r come pics of them.. pls see whether is it real.. i think they r real hehe... how is the rubber? wanna let go coz not playing it also..

uh i'd rather not get into that discussion bcos it's a long debate. i myself never touch provincial/national Hurricanes bcos a lot of controversies plus i dont agree with the idea. maybe u can tell us why u think it's real.

here's a discussion (some points here are just opinions and not actual fact from DHS ok)

i believe there's also some ways of identifying for provincial/national. but best is to just refer to DHS itself

Lanatir - I've read few reviews, and I think I've list down few blades, but Im not really sure about the price. Perhaps graeztch knows it.

1. Xiom Athena Platinum - RM470
2. Darker Speed 90 10mm - ?
3. Kokutaku Cho Super Cho Tokusen 10mm - ?

I recall your earlier post you mentioned about getting Darker Speed 90 right ? Wanna know the exact price too.

thanks.. i hv read some of the forum bout the hurricane III. hehe... i think mine hurricane III is real one according to the criteria. and i got if from Notos Trading... currently TableTennis Trading, at Cheras that one.. it think is the uncle u always mention about, right? so, i believe they provide me the real stock de.. heheh bro thanks ya.

u gotta filter the info at that link.

anyway i never shop at notos actually. i only buy from presports and occasionally lucky sports. i believe the local dealers are fine. u just hv to be aware when u buy online

for the other 2, i prefer to buy from iruiru.com

kkt cho super cho is 16000 yen (9mm super cho is only 9600 yen - such a huge difference)
darker speed 90 10mm is 11200 yen (9mm is only 10400 yen)

unfortunately the Yen has risen against the ringgit recently but normally iruiru has the best prices for those 2 (except for the approx RM50 postage).

Wow, the price is so damn high. It'd be better to settle off with KTS then. Nvm, until I have enough moolah, I shud concentrate on current equipment and utilize it. Thanks for the price ya.

where got so damn high

darker is RM416 and KKT is RM595
9mm versions are RM387 and RM357 respectively (making the 9mm KKT the most value for money).

actually the KTS (if got stock) is great value for the moment. i think either they are going to raise the price for KTS soon or discon it bcos it's not in butterfly's 2008/2009 catalogue (but the cypress max is).

love this pic of master blade maker

btw just to give u an idea

cho super cho vs KTS

Its still expensive for me hehehe. Including shipping the KKT is almost RM600, then opt for Omega III would be RM700 .

Lol, nevermind then, use what I have first, mana tau suddenly hit jackpot then I go buy one.

Added on November 17, 2008, 10:16 ambtw why dont u consider the KKT super cho tokusen 9mm (which sometimes is a bit thicker than 9mm) or the nittaku cho tokusen A? both are <RM400

This post has been edited by lanatir: Nov 17 2008, 10:16 AM

Actually between 9mm and 10mm, does it differ the most ? I was just thinking since I could (if) RM300++ blade, why dont I just save up another RM100 and go for the 10mm. But if it does not differ much, I guess its good to go for the 9mm Super Cho Tokusen.

to tell u the truth, both of the blades look almost identical except that the grains on the 10mm looks a bit tighter (and packaging is SLIGHTLY different in label only). iruiru even sent me the super cho by mistake when i ordered the cho super cho and i had to send it back for them to resend me the correct order.

super cho


cho super cho


eh the price difference is more than RM200 leh.

quote from mytt http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts...D=258433#258433

"Normally the top two Kiso Hinoki grades are SS (chōtokusen) and SA (tokusen). Kokutaku Super-Cho fits between high SA and low SS by present standards due to the dwindling Kiso Hinoki supplies . Cho Super-Cho is SS. Also Cho Super-Cho is 10mm thick and Super-Cho is 9mm. However more than often you can get Super-Cho that are slightly thicker than 9mm."

just a bit on why kiso hinoki is so prized...

"The hinoki grown in Kiso, used for building Ise Shrine, are called 御神木 Go-Shin-boku "Tree where god stayed"."

Holla..i am new to thread here..

Now i am playing table tennis regularly in my office after working hours..thinking of getting a bat but don't what to choose..hope you guys can enlighten me here..

I prefer a balanced bat coz i tend to smash and control the ball. I played less spin..

My budget would be RM100 for starters Planning to get a new Yonex badminton racquet that's why reduced budget

This post has been edited by Notoriez: Nov 18 2008, 03:00 PM

uh budget? grip? u mean u play aggresive with straight drives/smash and placing (but less of side/top spin)?

Yup..that's my style of play..

My grip style would be penhold grip..not the traditional V Grip..
