Hi Ludo, do you still using that immune classic ox blade? Did you order standard version? The brown side looks darker

What are people's experiences with the lag time between placing an order and getting a shipping notification?

They were same day responding on a facebook post I questioned recently. 

I am wondering...their #1 blade is the original Virtuoso Off-...and that blade came out a loooong time ago when the balls were much smaller...and much different.  Are people loving these blades just as much w the new 40+ Poly balls?  Are the blades still enjoying the same popularity?  Any opinions?  (you know...is the full OFF virtuoso the way to go now?)

Finally the real game can begin !!! *

Guys, I'm trying to email the osp shop but I kept getting the message:The email account that you tried to reach does not exist.

You made a good choice.  Since my friend received his blade we played about 6 hours in a few sessions. What can I say - as he is getting used to it, his game is improving faster that we both expected. I play:     729-08 ES + 2 limba + 3 ayous + 2 limba + Palio CJ8000 (7ply FEXTRA) He plays: DHS H3N   + 1 limba + 3 ayous + 1 limba + DHS H3        (simplest from collection OSP collection) OSP look is by far superior. Important comment he made right on the first session is that it is easier to play far from the table comparing to Stiga All Round Classic 5ply. After seeing the product I don't think one can go wrong with OSP (unless you start mixing carbon layers into the picture, which I am not big fan of).

Ok..  I caved in and ordered a V+. Now waiting to get it and then will post a review of it here. Hoping that this is truly the holy grail and will put an end to my EJ miseries once and for all.

The problem with making a recommendation is that it's highly dependent on the rubber, personal preference, etc.  I didn't like Xiom Omega V Asia Max with Virtuoso+ but I love it with the Ultimate II.  On my Virtuoso+ I am using ITC Powercell Ultra Max and I love it.  Bottom line is that most of your requirements could be met with either blade depending on which rubber you use.  Having both is nice because it gives you more flexibility to use different rubbers but if you could only buy one, I'd go with the Ultimate II.  If you end up ordering one or both, make sure you put your weight requirements in the special instructions and they will try their best to accommodate your request.

I played at the SPTTC January open recently and went against someone who was playing with a Virtuoso (or perhaps Virtuoso+, don't recall exactly) with a Yasaka Rakza 7 on forehand and I was super impressed by the amount of spin he could generate with really no tell in the action.

I was only playing friendly games with team mates so haven’t tested serving really short under pressure conditions, but yes I do think its lowest gear is lower than the virtuoso if that’s what you meant. Nothing a bit of practice won’t solve. I’m actually quite pleased at how quickly I felt at home with it.
