Ten Most Underrated Blades

Nice to hear your imput EJ

I am testing HH656 as well as Avx 777 with an Xiom V1 quad in transit,

I think kokutaku blades are the most underrated blades...such as stay sher, cremrtop, laser carbon, crinseller, etc. Also I think Bty Petr Korbel it's a verry good blade (minus head shape - too large and the handle - too slim)...

I find that the Cornilleau Hinotec series is underrated. Ok, the Carbon Off+ is probably too fast for me. But I heard from people who like it very much.

RPG is an acronym for Rocket Propelled Grenade, an anti-tank weapon. It's that fast .  So you're saying a TB Spark is a fast blade or L3 is actually slower than advertised?  They are both slow about ALL+, with L3 a little softer.

Well, I'm all sold  Eacheng got the blade but his Thor's is a bit too expensive compared to ttnpp.

I felt that Galaxy 896 is underrated as far as beginner/intermediate blade.  I recommend it with LKT Torrent and Gambler Outlaw.  Enjoy.

I support 3 underrated candidates already mentioned above:
- 3 thumbs up for Joola Sting - still don't understand fully why Joola stopped making their best 7-ply all-wood blade, it used to be very popular among pro and non-pro player in Europe; (I still have one AN fully equipped with rubbers for all-times sake).
- 2 thumbs up for Galaxy W-6 /this should be mentioned along the acoustic and HK as a pure joy to play with; some refer to it as 'poor man's YE, but it does not do justice to the quality and versatility of the blade.
- 1 thumb up for Galaxy W-1 (don't know why all hype goes to K-4 and now to V-14 for being TBS clones.  W-1 is actually better in some departments. There is no other carbon blade that feels more like wood than the "wood king".

Palio blades. Galaxy blades are getting rave reviews, but the market for palio's blades outside of China seems nonexistent. Which is strange considering the ones I saw there in 2009 were similar in price/quality to galaxy

BTY Korbel

Korbel and TBS are underrated?

My man!!! W-1 is awesome blade. People out there who pay 200 for Btfy Jun Mizutani are wasting $140 of their hard earned money. W-1 is at least as good and plays extremely similar to JM. I liked it better than JM, actually, because it has a tad more control, imho, and loops better.
