Oldstiga Standard by Palatinus is a private Hungarian TT Brand. Daniel Kosiba currently plays with one of their handmade blades, as the name suggests, these blades play like old stiga woods. I was offered a private testing and the blade is now mine for the keeping, but I have no use for it so I thought I pass it on to you guys to try and give reviews for the brand/us to read on for study. "We make custommade blades under the name Palatinus. It is a small manufacture, known of the name of the master Robert Palatinus. We found out that customers usually cannot wait 4-6 weeks for a custommade rackets and we established our standards. to shrink waiting time. So the name is OSP stands for Oldstiga Standard by Palatinus. This way we make handmade blades for individual orders with the Palatinus logo and we make standard handmade rackets with OSP logo." www.oldstiga.com please check it out and register to view their products and very cool vintage stiga/bty catalogs on pdf. The process is simple, pay for shipping w/tracking (so we dont loose it by mail) to the person that currently has it, test it out 1 to 2 weeks max, reply here with your review and mail it to the next person. Canada & USA only folks! I want to try to keep this going as long as we can, and the last person, please mail it back to me =) I have their OSP Virtuoso OFF- racket. (They prefer to call it "controlled offensive" but for marketing purposes its OFF-) Straight Handle. uploads/New/20100609_193813_virtuoso_port_b.jpg - 20100609_193813_virtuoso_port_b.jpg uploads/New/20100609_193920_virtuoso_data_b.jpg - 20100609_193920_virtuoso_data_b.jpg |

Nice site. The old Butterfly catalog brings back memories. BTW what is the difference between the UTC AN and Modern AN handles? ------------- Andrzej Grubba AN Sriver 2.1 Sriver 1.9 |

| Old Stiga handle shape from older stiga blades, anatomical was used by ulf tickan carlsson kind of like modern day peter straight on stiga that is a lil different from normal straight handle. Like ulf, peter preferred his custom handle size. Stiga marketed each handle size with players using that handle shape from their elite sponsored players. Erik lindh had his conic handle named after him on his stiga blades for a while. Other then that i guess no real difference but most stiga handles are thinner as bty is more square and donic is more round. |

The Virtuoso is a well balanced 5.7mm thick, offensive minus 5 ply blade; weighing around 86-88 grams. It's one of three standard handmade blades, made by Oldstiga; in their OSP range. With regard to build quality; it's a handmade blade built by a master craftsman and built to a higher standard than mass produced blades. There are also some nice touch's; which you appreciate, when you get to play with it. The shoulders have been rounded off, which is something that the twiddlers who tried it, appreciated. The rounded straight handle is solid; very comfortable in the hand and has a light coat of varnish on it, which helps prevent the penetration of sweat into the handle. Handle dimensions are close to the Stiga Peter handle, with the exception of the chamfer at the top of the handle, which is slightly bigger; than the chamfer on the Peter handle of my 6.8mm Clipper wood. As a result, I find it more comfortable in the hand, than the Clipper Wood's peter handle. So how does the Virtuoso play? The bounce test revealed it has a better feel to it than any modern Stiga I've played in the last few years; which isn't a surprise, as it's described as playing like the old Stiga woods and it definitely lives up to that tag. The Virtuoso is like a newer version of those old Stiga's, with the same good feel; but built to a higher standard and designed for use with Tenergy and other modern rubbers. It's a versatile blade and I must admit, i do like the way this blade feels and plays. it is fun to play with. If I had to compare it to blades people are familiar with, I'd say it possesses the good control, of the Samsonov Alpha and Xiom Fuga, but with a better feel and a better overall performance too. True it will cost you more than an equivalent mass produced blade; but you get what you pay for; i.e. a high quality hand made offensive minus blade, that has a great feel to it and delivers where it really matters,; i.e. in the way it plays. p.s. The other two blades that make up the OSP range are: 1) a 5.4mm 5 ply allround plus blade; around 85 grams, which i don't know the name of and only have basic details of. 2) the Ultimate, which is a 5.9mm thick 7 ply offensive blade weighing around 90 grams or more. I would describe it as a modern take on the classic 6 mm thick Clipper Wood and designed for use with Tenergy and other modern rubbers. The Ultimate I have weighs 94 grams and it's a more versatile blade; than either of my modern 6.8mm Clipper Woods. Whilst I think the modern Clipper Wood is a good blade; it's not the equal of the Ultimate; when it comes to feel, build quality or performance; particularly when looping. I've always considered the Donic Persson Powerplay Senso V1, a better looping blade than the Clipper Wood and the Ultimate in my opinion, outperforms that blade too. Why? because it performs better with Chinese rubber like TG3 Neo than the Donic blade does. Like the Virtuoso , the Ultimate is a pleasure to play with too and if I was to choose between them, I'll probably settle on the Ultimate as it is better suited to my game. Either way, the Virtuoso and Ultimate both have a lot to offer those who are prepared to pay the extra, to own and enjoy playing with a quality hand made blade. |

I have some ideas about Virtuso at present time,yet I haven't t used it all that much.Lately a lot of people have been coming to play so we had very limited time at the table each time.I am very pleased with workmanship and design of Virtuoso.I have a sheet of Joola GP and Stiga Mendo MP attached to the blade.With a rating of OFF-,this blade has more power/speed than some conventional 5 ply blades.Pictures and short video are coming.. ------------- Be right back...

Any Blade Maker bothers to take their time, effort & $$$$$ to design/craft a handle like Ulf Carlsson Anatomic really deserves my praise and respect. I as a matter of fact have tried a lotta Anatomic handled blades, so far only Stiga has, IMHO, consistently made really really comfortable ones and Butterfly to a certain extent does a fabulous job as well, esp. that of thicker SC and Photino but for their thinner blades like TBS, TB series, I think these need to be "bulked" up a bit.

Hi everyone
This my first post here and I liked to read yours. Because of Palatinus blades I start to comment here as well as in hungarian MyTT www.ppko.hu ,pllsystem's page. ;) what about me?I've been playing for 15 years,spin oriented mid distance looper, or close to the table hitter if needed :) I like topsin rallies far from the table.. So after glue ban decided to change my old Johannson stiga to a faster blade like most of players did. I Have tried more than 50 blades (energy wood,Donic WSC,TBALC,TBS,Korbel,Fuga ...etc.) for shorter or longer period, and after some BTY classic(Forte, primorac) I found a BOMB :) This is palatinus blade!! I have had three before in shorter time but could'nt made a deal them, because i don't like walnut wood (offensive stiga replica) nor koto (mentioned Kosiba 's blade) as much as Limba. I had some ideas what am looking for but I was informed there will be some new models soon the OSP standards...I've been waiting and i got what i really wanted. I've tested the three models Expert,Virtuoso and Ultimate.I decided to use OFF- further. So I've been using my own Virtuoso ST for almost 2 months. These is suits me well, I've tried it with Donic Coppa gold,Joola Ph�nix and T05(oil tuned) and now with T64. It has crisp feeling and good sweet spot with tenergy for me. I can loop with lots of spin, but I can made hard topspins as well far from the table as well. There is no problem to make short receives or flick. If you are topspin oriented player not just a hitter but with lots of spin Virtouso is yours. The most important for me these blades have the feel of oldstiga's but matches with the modern style of TT. I like the feedbacks it doesn't vibrate it kicks tothe ball a hard if you want but it is still delicate if you shorten. All of these OSP blades dropp,or block shots are excellent and also unpleasant for your partner. About three months earlier I took a record with playing the OSP expert with tenergy05/coppa gold...I uploaded it to a videosite...if You want I can show it later ;) I wrote longer tests for palatinus and pllsystem later may you can read them on the website. I hope my post has helped..but just feel free to ask ;) ------------- OSP VIRTUOSO AC (L=159 mm)( Aramid/Carbon) FH: Tenergy 80 BH: Tenergy 80 Boosted with Falco long http://ospblades.com/" rel="nofollow - OSP Blades |

I've tried OSP Expert and Ultimate for some hours of training, with a pair of Tenergy 05 and with a pair of Joola Express X-plode . The Expert is relative flexible, and is good for "normal", and "special" topspin movement players too. It had a high throw topspin with Joola Express X-plode, and spinny topspin. I did't find it good with Tenergy, in my opinion, it is not rigid enough for it. With X-plode, or with glued Sriver-Fx, for example, you can use your wrist a lot, the blade will respond, and do what you've imagined.
With the ultimate, this is just the opposite. The Ultimate is rigid, not flexible, but really fast, if you hit the ball hard. In the first minutes my shortening strokes had gone into the net. In some ways this blade was better for Tenergy, than with the X-plode, in my opinion, but it was a bit heavy. You must have really good footwork, if you want to play with the Ultimate, and you must be brave in offense. Than, you can hit very effective shots and point-winning topspins with good spin. Both blade are good in their playing style category. |

People keep buying what they heard about.
About Palatinus wood blades, most of the impressions related to quality and feeling in the sense of old stigas in the post above, were told before. It is difficult to find better classic wood blades in the market. And it is a pleasure to play with those blades.

Ejmaster I agree the old 1970's Stiga's are some of the best classic blades to play with. The good news is some of the hand made blades available on the market, from the likes of : 1) Palatinus, Old Stiga 2) Ulmo blades 3) Tischtennis Manufactur.de are in my opinion the equal of those old Stiga's in the way they feel and play. I learnt to loop with a 1976 Offensive wood , with 1.5mm Mark V and I've also been lucky enough to play quite a bit with two 1970's Allround classics in recent years as well. Sadly the offensive classic and offensive classic WRB, that I've tried in the last two years were decent blades; but didn't feel as good to play with, as my old 1976 Offensive Wood did. |

I saw the OSP Ultimate which is 7 ply blade is very thin. The thickness is 0.1 mm thicker than Virtuoso. 5.7mm vs 5.8 mm. How is the 7 ply compared to the 5 ply for looping? Is it still good enough to loop? If it's only the speed diff, I might consider to try the 7 ply too. I found Clipper isn't for me, too stiff and not a good blade to loop. ------------- Andro Wanokiwami AO Offensive 83 gr H3 National Orange 40 deg 2.2 Baracuda Max 182 Gr |

Hi peter,
In 1997 in the Manchester world singles championship wang liquin played with a stiga off classic master handle and some years before.
That was my main blade for some years and keep on being one of the best blades i have. I have some pictures and testing comparison in my picassa album. those old stiga off have little to do with the modern off classic.
And i also played with the old stiga allround.
The big surprise is when i find the sn465 made by Palatinus. even better feeling without disturbing vibration than an empowered old stiga allround.

I agree with, But I think these palatinus OSP blades and offcourse the custommades are not vibrating. This way i call it a good Kick wich is helps not disturbs....vibration is longer and that is a disturbaace. For example Old Stiga off with 5.2 thickness is vibrating!! Palatinus blades have power cure so these are have only one kick and I think this is the best feedback into your palm and brain :) So I always know what i want to do and enjoy the game with virtuoso ;) ------------- OSP VIRTUOSO AC (L=159 mm)( Aramid/Carbon) FH: Tenergy 80 BH: Tenergy 80 Boosted with Falco long http://ospblades.com/" rel="nofollow - OSP Blades |

Believe us its enough :) Due to handmade processes we can work like companies cannot work. In the other side we are fully aware of the fact that we have 2 models that cannot cover all of the demands... we still develop blades. In July Expert will come for ols Stiga lovers, then we plan a cpenholder (because cpen is not only a handle but a style) and a beginner racket (because a kid has different biometric) Anyway it would be fine from you to collect why players like thick blades.. we will see then how much your list similar to ours :) ------------- we make real professional handmade table tennis blades - ospblades.com |

I just want to advise you to make +/- 5 gr weight range for Virtuoso and Ultimate. The one who like lighter can pick the light one, the one who like heavier can pick the heavier one. I'm hoping to get heavier Virtuoso without paying more for custom made blade. But 87 gr is ok  ------------- Andro Wanokiwami AO Offensive 83 gr H3 National Orange 40 deg 2.2 Baracuda Max 182 Gr |

The blades are really beautiful, especially handles. The outer Limba grain and the apparent craftmanship look really superior quality. I just wonder why you chose such long shape ? 158 and 159mm must make them really head heavy, doesn't it ? If you stick heavy tenergies on it, it shall be even head heavier...? Also, a 7 plies 5.9mm thick, isn't it too thin ? What is the benefit of having such a thin 7 ply racket ? Why not making a thicker 5 ply, if you want to increase stiffness and speed ?
One reviewer presents (if I got it right...) ultimate as a slower clipper. Do you confirm ?
Edit : Sorry, also forgot to ask, ELCON handle shape really looks like conical Kjell Johansson.

TBS = 158/5.7, Clipper = 159, HK = 158/5.5... it is not by chance. Thin or not thin is question of approach. For us it is not thin. In my approach Ultimate is not slower than Clipper and we can start which you mean "fast" when the racket is solid as a rock, or kicks like a spring. Clipper is solid as a rock, high bending strength, Ultimate is a bit more comfortable but its is not a Clipper clone so we dont intend to compete Clipper.

JCDI The OSP Ultimate feels around the same speed, during play; as my 6.8mm Clipper Wood. I'm basing that on my experience of playing with 2.15mm TG3 Neo and H3 NEO, on both blades. As well as getting the opinions of friends who've also tried the Ultimate too. |

Ok,here is my small contribution.A video clip I made the same day after receiving the blade from Hungary.I am in the US.My current rating is around 1600+/-50,which is not high by any means.Though I have played pretty regularly over the past 6 years I had only some coaching as a kid-so really,realy long tome ago.I am a close to the table player.I try to execute all strokes,but I mostly use ball placement/blocking/flat hits.Top spin/side spin hate me as much I do them,but still some days I am in better shape than other times.Any way,here is what I think may be part 1 -short video clip,

I played on last Sunday for 2 hours with OSP Virtuoso An. w/2 used rbrs - Joola Tango 2.0? & Haifu BW 2 "given" to me by a nice/generous member here. I slapped on the rbrs on Sat. afternoon n left the combo sitting on the deck for most of the night sorta to "kill" the SG stench & effect (1 layer, not too generous amount, as I dun have WB glue).
To my surprise the combo's overall weight was only 173.5g.
It was so easy/joy to play with and I was expecting it to be as good as my last 91g used Acoustic ST w/some cheapie Chinese Rbrs & hoping that it would be as good or close to some of my previous/present blades/combos, e.g. H-3-9 ST, Photino FL, TBS & what have u or u name it....
It is in fact, in a way, better than my last Acoustic, way way better than most if not all of my above-mentioned.
I'm not gonna write any review here, at least not yet, not after ONLY 2 hours of play. It deserves to be played/enjoyed more for me to gather my thoughts to compile more for even begin to sit dwn & write my review.
My 1st thought after only a good 15 mins or so was like....Wow, hey...I could loop well, FH/BH, block, push/flick well with it...how did this maker come up with/manage to make this "gem" so well FOR me?
I could do a lotta things right, including my Ma Long's
kinda BH which I've been dying to try to do better with all those expensive, well..most of my blades are actually less than 100.00 each, only couple of exceptions.I could actually "feel" the ball with whatever shots I made, I thought, yeah...may be these rbrs helped and yet these are not even the latest/greatest/more expensive tuned/pre-tuned rubbers.
Another thing is that it has min. or neglegible flex/vibration which I really enjoyed unlike that of PKorbel of similar weight, may be this is what they call it "Sweet Vibration"?
I'd say this Virtuoso is in the neighbourhood of OFF-/OFF, it has quite a high pitch sound when hitting no matter what kinda of shots I made, it couldn't be SG effect as it was already hours & hours after 1 not too generous layer of Glue.
Pushing/Flicking/receiving serves FH/BH or shot game were easy and effortless and so enjoyable....
Yeah...Holda was right to say that the throw is Med/Med-high at best and to be honest I thoroughly enjoyed looping FH/BH w/it. I'm a HUGH fan of Petr Korbel's BH flicking/receiving of serves so is my Czech old buddy, Vlady and he said, "wow....U seemed to enjoy/make alotta that particular trick, that blade really helped u today, eh?"
Smashing, well...i didn't get to do alot in that 2, too short, hours as I had to rush out for some urgent appointment.
Just can't wait to play it again and hopefully I could slap on some good, greatest/latest rbrs but kinda reluctant/hesitant to do so cuz. I still prefer rbrs like Sriver L/EL or may be this blade deserves to be spoiled/slapped on by these rbrs?
Who knows?
More to come, may be after this coming weekend?
As a result of my last weekend's 2 hours fun, this Virtuoso deserves to be my " Signature"...  ------------- http://mytabletennis.net/Forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17089" rel="nofollow - I love & am inspired by Malala Yousufzai's "True & Tough" LIFE STORY |

Tiehwen,I think you will also love it with more powerful rubbers,just those that may be harder a bit.Palatinus devised this model to be OFF-,but with the intent to compensate for the glue ban.So I really think Virtuoso should be rated OFF.I have seen my shots to be "loopier" even with Joola Gp,which is soft very rubber with excellent grip.Between Virtuoso and P.Korbel, the former is more powerful and stable,stiffer blade. ------------- Be right back...

Hey,Peter. I think Virtuoso is closer to P.Korbel from Butterfly. Acoustic/Violin are too different,in my opinion. While Virtuoso is a 5 ply,like Korbel,it is stiffer(I thought Virtuoso was a thicker blade initially,but not true-Virtuoso is 5.7mm thick while Korbel is 5.89mm) and faster.The Virtuoso that I have got smaller dimensions ,but still with nice weight balance shifted to the handle.Being moderately stiff and having good dwell time,one can execute top spin shots very easily.Korbel is famous for that ,too,but in my opinion Korbel has softer wood veneers and so less powerful as a result.To compensate for this one would really like to have expensive modern rubbers,while with Virtuoso rubber range can be much more expanded. Virtuoso is made very well-no rough edges,nicely finished/partially laquered by the maker.It could be a blade for anyone from the novice to highly advanced player.My Virtuoso sample is as fast as Acoustic from Nittaku,just softer.And when strike the ball the racket sounds like one cracks nuts.I would probably like it to be just slightly heavier and may be bit stiffer/less dwell time.Overall,great design/quality/playing characteristics.Plus,blade handle can be customized to fit wider hands.I love the conic handle design which is not available from other manufactures. As said earlier this is a modern offensive blade,some people might classify it as off-, I put in off group.Control is excellent,no questions about it. Note:since some players aren't too worried about speed glue ban-good for them,but I strongly recommend to potential buyers to use wood sealant.Outer plies are nicely finished so to keep the blade intact water based glue needs to be used carefully as someone suggested-wait until glue becomes transparent/dries completely. ------------- Be right back...

I do not have Virtuoso but when i read the thread feedback about the Virtuoso blade, a similar feeling comes when i talked about the sn465.
But i have some questions:
Dont you think a lot of people would play with that blade better than with some others?.
Dont you think it is a pleasure to have a good blade from amateur to high level than ejing too much?.
Do you consider the blade outstanding in the present wood blade market offering?.
Maybe some comments about the sn465 blade though biased (a label), were not so far from reality?.
 The last question is related to people who label to discredit. ------------- EJ Club. MM T05(fh)/Srvfx(bh); InfVps,LSW,Viscaria,RwV,TBAlc,PG7,yextsc,yeo. EJmaster wood.

One can play with anything,EJM,but having something nice is always enjoyable.I know(we all do)-many Asian players/some European prefer simple trusted CLipper,Offensive CR and other like.Table tennis has shown there is fashion in it and many of us ejs.I think if you find a suitable blade for yourself and you see progress in your game,what is more to wish?I was initially unhappy with not being able to play BH shots with some blade I had bought .I wasn't able to just be comfortable when playing my first a couple of rackets.I went through a large number of blades,but I got
a Violin and that should have been the end of search for me.I suddenly realized I liked trying other blades.I have said-enough,enough,but continued fooling around with other blades. Someone said whatever best out there there is that is what you should play with.I agree and disagree with the statement.Not everyone is fortunate as to try all that is now available on the market,but I think a nice suitable blade is a must have. Virtuoso is crafted individually ,so yes,of course,it is build to higher standarts as opposed to mass produced blades. I have been very satisfied with its performance,design,playing characteristics,so I yes,it is pleasure to play with it. I think Virtuoso is well build and offers more than traditional blades I have held in my hands.I think whoever trys this model may also be interested in trying a 7 ply blade made by the maker.I am... ------------- Be right back...

If it's close to Petr Korbel it's good then. I don't like the big head size and slim ST handle of PK, feels head heavy. I already ordered Virtuoso FL handle, it looks big and comfortable  Yes sealing a thin coat is necessary if anyone want to use waterbase glue. But Violin doesn't need sealing at all, no problem. Virtuoso seems to made for Glue ban, suitable for Tenergy, let's see if it's really a good combo. ------------- Andro Wanokiwami AO Offensive 83 gr H3 National Orange 40 deg 2.2 Baracuda Max 182 Gr |

What is the best rubber match so far for Virtuoso? What D is your BW2? I ordered a Virtuoso and a custom made 7-ply flexible Off blade. Will report back when they arrive in resp. 1 and 6 weeks. Communication so far is good. The only question not answered was the type of veneers they are going to use for my custom made blade. But probably this is classified information...  BTW, anybody tell us something about sn491 - composition, feel, speed and control. Thank you |

It was quite a surprise to receive this blade in the mail few weeks ago. OldStiga Standard Palatinus 5 ply All Wood Anatomic (Ulf “Tickan” Carlsson style) handle Blade weighs 86.5g.
The Anatomic handle is as good as Stiga Clipper’s and some of my Butterfly’s, I like it as much as my Photino’s, SC’s which are thick, “meaty” and I always use these two as my Benchmark, but not the KLPSP’ & TBS’s as these two are just too thin for my liking. The “prints” on the OSP Virtuoso handle seemed to be smudged while the “maker” was printing on it, it therefore doesn’t look as good as the “Golden” color of the later batch. Again, if I paid HUGE bucks for it, I would’ve returned it for an exchange, yet this one was just 1 out of PLLSystem’s 1st initial batch and it’s for me to test play, it doesn’t matter as most of the Stigas I came across over the years looked more awful than this. Rubbers Info.: Overall weight of this Combo: 173.5g
Nice cracking, crispy sound yet not as loud or pronounced as my other/last/previous blades, i.e. Old SC, 91g Acoustic, TBS, KLHSp or even my favorite Photino yet louder than another of my all time favorites, Tibhar H-3-9. It feels less stiff than all the above-mentioned, but I felt that it has quite a sweet spot compared to the others but not as nice/large as H-3-9. It has the typical woody sound but with an added sweeter kind of tone unlike that of Acoustic or other pure 5 ply (Pkorbel) which I’ve tried and still own. The control is, well, just fabulous and I thought I could just go on & on and that it’s THE blade that makes me NOT thinking about…..”wooooo…I’m playing with THE blade of ALL blades and I’ve got to be careful and not hit the table by accident”. It’s just a confidence-inducing blade as far as I’m concerned. Really really put a smile on my face every time I hit or blocked.
It was a breeze both FH and BH, whether active or passive but not as “instantaneous” as more expensive or famous blades like SC, Photino, TBS or even KLHSp. In a way, it reminds me of my last but seasoned 91g Acoustic with some glued DHS rubbers, not as fast as those greatest but faster than Pkorbel, AR Stellan Bengsston, AR Evolution, it felt better than YEO as good as my friend’s WCS Senso V1 w/Tibhar Nimbus Medium on BH yet slightly more confident both FH & BH almost right on par with H-3-9 with IQ 35d 2.0mm. Would I spend huge amount of money to acquire this? Yes, but I’d have to unload some of my gems for just this or IT. Would my EJ Quest/days be over for good? Very likely YES, as I don’t see anything interesting out there for that equal amount of $$$$$. Would I pass this Virtuoso on to others to have a crack at it? I don’t think so.. Would I return this Virtuoso to Laszlo, PLLSystem upon his request? Nah…Fat Chance. I’m gonna keep it for the NEXT 25 years at least. There's no way I'm gonna sell or trade this away.... All in all, IMHO, this is just a gem and to be honest, I’ve not touched other blades for 3 solid weeks…that’s really quite unusual for an EJ or now past EJ like me. I might have said things/BS repeatedly in my so-called “Review”, If I did, please forgive OR just ignore me as English is my 3rd language. I might come back to this thread to fix my mistakes tho’ in due course/next or future re-visits. ------------- http://mytabletennis.net/Forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17089" rel="nofollow - I love & am inspired by Malala Yousufzai's "True & Tough" LIFE STORY |

Hy everyone made a test for ultimate as well OSP Ultimate I got the Offensive 7ply
wood from the new OSP (oldtiga by palatinus) blades Size: 158x150 ,91 gr, Forehand: Tenergy 05 2,1 (oil tuned ) Backhand: Roundell 2.1 (rather shabby) First of all i want to describe the main
elements, after a summary and impressions on a match. Chop: Chopping is punctual even with the tuned
tenergy. If i wanted to make heavy chops i had to make
faster strokes with my wrist, beacause it feels
sometimes more bouncy then expected. But after some mistake i could gave
very hard spins. Counter: Counter is not a difficult element and can be
expected for a blade not to take more mistakes. With this ultimate the tenergy feels harder
but even more punctual then i thought, the combo feels little hitter setup, but
still good. You don’ have to be hard this works form itself. Drop,Blocking: Shorter dropps are
not so easy with this but this not designsed for passive game its sure. But blocking a
little bit away about If i push it little
like close to table counterspin but just wrist stroke it was’nt gave back. My partner said : „You
could do that ? Nice” Nor am I thouhgt that it is so easy to make
harder blocks like Maze sometimes Topspin against chopped ball: Beacuse of lower arc
you must pull the arm little bit more vertically but not too uncomfortable way. It gave a lot of
spin with lower arc and slower speed but the ball is going fater down after touching
the table. It was more
unpleasent than i thought. I have to say this is nor my strenght Topspin against block,topspin against topspin: Dinamyc topspins is a
modern hitter loop and feels like your still using fresh glued sriver fx :) I could make very
fast topspins to end of the table…with high amount of spin. Hard and spinny bachand
topspins could be carried out with little wrist moves. I could make backhand
shots as well if wanted. Serve,Receive I could make serves with lot of spins but
chopped serves wasn’t so easy, instead i gave empty serves and after i could
finish te ponits with this weaponJ Receiving is easy if your good with topspins and
flicks short dropps is a little bit hard for me but I am using ow the slower
brother ,Virtouso. Summary: However i lost the
match int he finel set, but my partner said : „you were more agressive, i was surprised „ I used to lost
against him becasue he is playing 4 class higher tournament but I am satisfied
with the two set won and what he said. This is still a
looper blade but stiffer so maybe well suit for modern topspin game. Some forum writers
compared it with clipper. I can say it is better than clipper in all aspects.Not
comperable First of all it has
feeling!!Good feedback in your palm, Much more spin and so punctual. Higher arc, and not
a linearblade…so if you want to be softer,so you can! But if you are harder
this a fast killer weapon. If you are looking
for well balanced offensive blade with superb control this is what You want I am sure you will
stop EJ’ ing ;) ------------- OSP VIRTUOSO AC (L=159 mm)( Aramid/Carbon) FH: Tenergy 80 BH: Tenergy 80 Boosted with Falco long http://ospblades.com/" rel="nofollow - OSP Blades |

Mine was "crafted" as per my "specs.", not much, may be to some, to begin with. I had my so so average, well...good in some ways, a PKorbel plus my old Stiga @ the background (in my head), as template but I wanted more, i.e. more comfy handle, a bit more Oooomph, more power, more feedback/control and that unique classic allwood no fancy no wuahahahaha look. And to me, PLLSystem (or this Virtuoso) delivers and even MORE. There're actually some "extras" thrown into it as well, but I can't put words to it. How about this....A blade that makes me forget about the rest which I've thinking about acquiring prior to this ONE? A blade that makes me feel like holding it or just wanna look at it eventho' I'm not playing it? A blade that makes me say "That's it!" ? Or a blade that pauses/makes me stop my spending spree $$$$$? ------------- http://mytabletennis.net/Forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17089" rel="nofollow - I love & am inspired by Malala Yousufzai's "True & Tough" LIFE STORY |

I received my Virtuoso FL today. (thx Palatinus) I looks and feels high quality. I glued my regular rubbers on (Baracuda + Hexer PS). Didn't play with it but it feels like a bit more powerful version of my Stiga Allround Stellan Bengtsson. Same clear, stiffish and softish feel with the power from the core. Something like a better quality, much better feel and a bit more powerful Korbel. I do highly recommend anyone considering to buy one while the shipping is probably still free (for the first 100 blades). You can be sure you'll appreciate owning a handmade blade like this.
