+1  I own one that I got from Tabletennis11.com for just $19.  Great blade, 86g, slightly head-heavy.  Very similar to Donic Allplay

I am sorry to mention another blade that is not in your list... I don't mean to confuse you or to complicate your desicion, but I really think you should consider Kokutaku Cremrtop.

It's an all-round 5 ply-wood blade.
With a very high-quality finish.
Not very flexy and not too much vibration.


I know Kokutaku is not a very famous brand, some might not even know it, but it's very good, at least Cremrtop.
The price is kinda ok as well, its costs about 40$. But the compensation is in the quality.
I honestly think it's cheap for the quality.


Personaly, I will buy one as soon as I get some cash, it's a keeper.
I havent had the chance to try any of the blades you listed above!

I've got a Stiga Allround Classic with Max thickness Mendo Energy rubber. It is my first pro level bat. Actually feels kind of fast and harder to control than the cheap pre-made bats I had used before.

After trying several on the list, I ended up with Stiga Allround Classic and have been using one for a couple of years now, with various rubbers.  Current rubbers are Joola Rhyzm 425 forehand and regular Rhyzm backhand, both 2.0 mm.  I like this set up.

Might be offtopic, but here;s my two cents.
I'm just speaking from personal experience. Xiom Stradavarious is just perfect for block, push, loop on both wings, as well as chop. Came from a 729 bomb to Strad and immediately saw a difference. Then again theres a 60$ difference between the two.
Theres also hayabusa zxi but seeing your selection of blades, It's probably a better investment once you get further into tt.

Blades don't have control.  You do.
Play with blades that feel good to you and give you confidence.

The Stradivarious sounds great.  I may try it sometime when I feel like going back to a faster blade.  As far as getting further into TT, I don't think that's going to happen.  I have been playing for over 45 years, so now it's more like fending off the age factor.  ;-)  And cost wasn't the reason for my blade selection.  I was just looking for a slower, more controllable blade.  I have had (and still do) dozens of faster blades, including the Butterfly Keyshot (original version), Sardius (speed demon), Viscaria, etc.  I just enjoy playing with a slower blade now.  I can swing hard and the ball still lands on the table--it pleasantly surprises me every time.  LOL

Good choice, the Stiga Allround Classic is a well balanced blade. Stiga really do have a fantastic reputation for producing blades and it's not hard to see why. Great to hear this blade is working out for you! :)

 17 years now and still going strong, power when you need it, touch supreme. Needs a fast Rubber for attacking play though.

The problem with Stiga's "control" blades ATM is that quality on their current lower end lineup is kinda terrible, esp in the wood chosen. I've gotten ridiculous grain directions/patches/knots.

Supposedly they used to be much better made at Woodhouse before moving on to their factory elsewhere, and it seems Donic/Yasaka's swedish-born counterparts like Allplay are still made at Woodhouse and retain good quality.

I have a bunch of these blades and they're similar enough that picking based on value/money or even handle pref is decent idea. For example, Yasaka (Sweden classic) has smaller FL handle than Donic Allplay, but supposedly thick ST.

My back up blade is the Sweden Classic with 1.9 Tenergy 05 on both sides. Doesn't vibrate as much as Stiga all around. Does everything well. The straight handle is quite thin. Very forgiving combination. Easy to smash with.

Donic Waldner Ultra Senso Carbon (for new 40+ ball).  Amazing control to speed ratio.  Large sweet-spot too.
