Ten Most Underrated Blades

So not in North America?

Palio blades... and Galaxy blades were until recently now that they are considered respectable alternatives.

Y-4 of Galaxy is the most underrated blade. It is rated ALL while in reality it is OFF+

The semantic field of underrate is vast. Too many connotations...

YINHE/GALAXY BLADES!

Donic Li Ping KiTex  -  very high quality blade with fine grained hinoki outer ply, plays similar to Timo Boll ALC at half the price.

Sorry, missed this before as we posted at the same time. The Yasaka Balsa+ is a soft and flexible blade, probably the only flexible blade I've been able to get a long with. I used it with pips and it was marvelous for chopping, but it was also a thing of beauty for looping. How ever, given the distance I played at, it was a little to slow to be lethal for me, but if you play up close to the table, I'm sure it's fast enough. Can't think of a balde to compare it with, neither can I think of another blade that had the same excellent feeling to it.

Fever is cheaper and they say that it plays very similar to those two.  Joola Rossi Emotion - it's construction is similar to Innerforce blades with two wood plies over Carbon ply. It has Hinoki-Koto-Carbon-Ayous-Carbon-Koto-Hinoki. It's light too, I have one in 84 gr. Joola Viva. 7-ply wood, think of a bit softer Clipper. I think that Joola Wing Fast is also underrated as it's nice quite fast 5-ply wood with Hinoki outer and Kiri core. Also I like anatomic handles and Joola has all their blade available in An, unlike many Japanese and all Chinese manufacturers of blades.

One other thing, if possible can we have a brief review of some of these underrated blades,at least say what is special about your choice (s). I am learning quite a bit here ,mostly that BTY blades are good but there are better blades in the shadows.

Avalox P700 and P500 blades

I agree with the Nittaku Septear and Dynamix 17 blades being under rated. Both are excellent blades which I played for a long time.
