Got it from kokusai takkyu - Takanobaba, handpicked by my tt soul mate Rokphish  A lot of pictures, cause the top ply will looks different from different lighting condition. Will test it soon. http://s307.photobucket.com/user/peternmelly/media/IMG-20161113-WA0033.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s307.photobucket.com/user/peternmelly/media/20161122_213709.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s307.photobucket.com/user/peternmelly/media/20161122_213929.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s307.photobucket.com/user/peternmelly/media/20161122_214146.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s307.photobucket.com/user/peternmelly/media/20161122_214406.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s307.photobucket.com/user/peternmelly/media/20161122_214314.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s307.photobucket.com/user/peternmelly/media/20161122_214505.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s307.photobucket.com/user/peternmelly/media/20161122_214545.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s307.photobucket.com/user/peternmelly/media/20161122_214647.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s307.photobucket.com/user/peternmelly/media/20161122_214934.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s307.photobucket.com/user/peternmelly/media/20161122_223741.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s307.photobucket.com/user/peternmelly/media/20161122_224623.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  ------------- Andro Wanokiwami AO Offensive 83 gr H3 National Orange 40 deg 2.2 Baracuda Max 182 Gr |

Really sexy. Did you request the weight? Most seem to be at 80 g. WRM did a review of it a while ago and recommended Rasant Grip + Rasant PowerGrip. It is most certainly an drive-looper's blade

I haven't tried it, will try it and give a review of it. I test it by bouncing the ball, I feel the ball is being absorp and then suddenly it kicks the ball upward. ------------- Andro Wanokiwami AO Offensive 83 gr H3 National Orange 40 deg 2.2 Baracuda Max 182 Gr |

| Peter, does the center ply look the same as your Wan AO Off? |
Posted By: peter79
Date Posted: 12/07/2016 at 10:11pm
I'm not really sure about this, Ren feels softer than AO. The Wan AO off has secondary ply that make this blade hard. The different between Andro Wanokiwami Ren with Clipper series: Ren has the widest gear blade that I own. Clipper I found it difficult to play slow, when I bounce the ball slowly, it bounce high. The feel of Ren is a bit softer than Clipper due to the weight difference. Ren has a hard top ply mixed with softer inner ply While Clipper has a soft top ply mixed with harder inner ply. Playing with Clipper series, I found I have more power than 5 ply, but less control. Playing with Ren, I feel have the same power with Clipper CC but with more spin and control and it's light. ------------- Andro Wanokiwami AO Offensive 83 gr H3 National Orange 40 deg 2.2 Baracuda Max 182 Gr |

| Peter, you can't tell if the center ply of the REN is the same as that of the AO, fair enough. Could REN's center ply be easily dented with your fingernails? I am interested if it has a soft center ply as well. |

| Peter, from your photos the REN looks like it has 7 plies.t Could you confirm that? |

Date Posted: 12/08/2016 at 11:53pm
Yes Ren is 7 ply blades, probably 2 of the ply is the same with Andro Wanokiwami Center Ply. Not sure what kind of wood in the center and 2 other thin ply.... I would not dent the center ply with my fingernails, why don't you buy and test it yourself and let me know  ------------- Andro Wanokiwami AO Offensive 83 gr H3 National Orange 40 deg 2.2 Baracuda Max 182 Gr |

For some reason it looks like kiri, along with the third and fifth ply. ------------- Fly away! |

Thanks Aeoliah  This blade is made for polyball, for cellouid ball it's not suitable  I play 3 times a week, at one club once a week is using cellouid ball only. So now I use Acoustic Inner Carbon back again, since Acoustic Inner Carbon is good to use either plastic ball or cellouid ball. I lost control when playing with Ren if using Cellouid ball  ------------- Andro Wanokiwami AO Offensive 83 gr H3 National Orange 40 deg 2.2 Baracuda Max 182 Gr |

 Sorry for laughing, but Cliper has (and always had) limba outer and ayous inner. And Ayous is definitely softer than limba - without any doubt. ------------- http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51774&title=feedback-magic-m" rel="nofollow - My Feedback |

 http://stervinou.net/ttbdb/lexik.php Yes, you're right Magic_M, ayous is softer than limba. But Clipper feels harder than Ren. It seems that Ren use a softer inner ply than ayous. ------------- Andro Wanokiwami AO Offensive 83 gr H3 National Orange 40 deg 2.2 Baracuda Max 182 Gr |

I like the curve of the 5 ply, 7 ply is lower. I like Ao more because it's harder and has more control. Ren has more kick and power but I found it more difficult to play all around. ------------- Andro Wanokiwami AO Offensive 83 gr H3 National Orange 40 deg 2.2 Baracuda Max 182 Gr |

How about the flexibility of the blade(REN)? Is this too stiff or mid-stiff/mid-flex blade? From your review it's confirm that one will have a hard time in the blocking department with this blade because it's less hardness !!??

it is a mid flex blade, it feels soft. It has a catapult feel which make it difficult to block the ball consistently. ------------- Andro Wanokiwami AO Offensive 83 gr H3 National Orange 40 deg 2.2 Baracuda Max 182 Gr |
