Ebenholz NCT VII vs Rosewood NCT VII

bump

so which one would you say is better since both of them are very similar?rosewood?ebenholz?

and what if i counter loop more?which one should i choose?

lol,i have been playing table tennis for 6years and this is my 7th year,mind you i'm only 14 this year.The V versions?yeah maybe I should,but i'm not sure which one to choose either.

hmm...I'm not thinking about the ebenholz V,as far as I'm concerned,the blades i would go for is only rosewood V and VII

could someone please tell me why do the pros like 5plys all wood blade better than 7plys all wood blade?Thanks

not quite so sure if more Chinese provincial level players play with Cipper (7-ply) or Energy Wood (its 5-ply companion) 

80% of them... consider also that alc/zlf/zlc and so on are ALL 7 ply.....

just get a premade 

Ebenholz VII is ligther than Rosewood VII and Rosewood V.

Chinese national team has been focusing on wood blades because of the superior control it offers. This gives player better placement, also wood generally offers more dwell time and produce better spin. The three factors considered to win a game is placement, spin and speed, the last onr is achieved by the player, hit the ball harder, use waste rotation to give ball more speed. However recent changes in rules for bigger balls and non-volatile glues are forcing them to look at more options, such as carbon blades. Zhangjike has ben using viscaria for the longest time, malong recently switched over to timoboll spirit. They are looking to increase the spin of the ball. 5ply has a distinct advantage for counter-looping, it uses much of the opponents force to deform the blade to return the ball. The problem of using a carbon blade with T05, for example is its compketely relying on the rubber to spin the ball and catapole the ball out, two distinct problem are one the ball has a high arch, two the ceiling effect (rubber can only do so much). so with wood blade you use flex wood and rubber to retunr the ball, better control better spin. traditionally wooden blades are slower, hopefully rosewood has solved that problem. i talked to xuxin, he swears by it.

I am trying to find that out myself...I am looking for a rosewood 5 blade :) I have viscaria now...there seems to be a ceiling effect when looping away from the table...
