Would 5q also go well with Challenger Speed?

i find the 5Q very fast on the challenge speed. i had a hard time controlling it at first but eventually did after maybe 3 days of adjustment

bbkon, actually they feel the same. feels closest to the clipper. i still need to try it with other pips to see if its better or not. the 802-40 on the challenge speed was average

I played today the the blade with Bluefire M1 and Rasant and I compared it with my current combination, Stratus PW with Bluefire M1 and Rasant
The blade is quite heavy 93g but real well balanced the Speed i would say like Stratus PW, for sure not Off+ real better in passive play and generally better controll close to the table from the half distance also good, the topspins always with a lot of spin The topspins are definitely with lower throw angle than Stratus PW, and for this reason i found the Challenge better close to the table I will test more in the future days ;) regards |

yogi_bear, could you rate challenge speed's stiffness, and hardness on a scale of 10? I am debating to buy a challenge speed, avenger 7, or a clipper cr.
I appreciate it.

nice to know you like it carmelo.
WOLovePP, the avenger 7 is stiffer than the challenge speed because it has walnut outer plies, on a scale of 10 i would rate the challenge speed at 7.5-8, the part of the clipper cr that has the UV finish seems harder by a notch

Challenge Speed is a notch faster than Clipper CR from my point of view but has softer feel because the outer plys have not been hardened like on the Clipper CR.

8/10 is my rating in terms of stiffness if you are asking about the clipper CR, the uv coating is stiffer but the challenge speed is surprisingly faster

how does this blade play with short/medium pips such as globe 888/dhs 874(MP), or tsp spectol/tsp tyrano(SP) ?
Planning to slap calibra tour H on the forehand though. I accidentally bought the rubber when I was hanging out at the shop, and some malicious EJ virus gets into my brain then voila ! I brought a black calibra tour H home without knowing on what blade should I put this rubber on. Strange thing it is, since I usually only use chinese rubber such as h3/tg3/sword king on the forehand, still wondering the result of challenge speed + calibra combination. my guess : speed demon LoL

I use TT-Japan and do not find there shipping rate to expensive rather its very competitive as tracking registered insured mail. There base price is always very competitive and they have a full range of sponge hardness which is unusual for on-line TT sellers, most sellers offer only Max or at best 2.0 and Max. They always ship next day after receipt of order and I have never had a problem with them sending the wrong color rubber.

5q and 1q are beasts on the challenge speed. Hexer HD is just right for FH. Makes me want to get another Challenge Speed for back-up. I'm quitting the EJ trail and sticking to this blade.

Impulse bought this blade in the middle of a cold winter night after ebay had yet again asked me if I was interested in table tennis blades on the very same day when just hours earlier I tried out a different Clipper clone for the first time and was amased at how much umphf and zoomph there was on my forehand.
As luck would have it, just a few days later I gave my regular 5 ply off- blade a rather horrible wack against the side of the table and because of this I'm going to give this blade a go. Question to fellow lower intermediate players who gave switched from 5 ply to 7 ply woods: am I good enough for this blade or will it cost me vital points when I get tense at deuce in 5th? |

the Challenge Speed is faster than a clipper CR so it would take some time to adjust but not that difficult to transition.
