I got the blade today :oops: Sorry for doubting you on this one Rob, it really was a big head on this blade!
So I glued on a small sheet of Globe 999 and another small sheet of Juic Neoanti on it. Looked really stupid as the rubbers were way to small to cover the blade
Well, I thought that I at least had to try the blade before I bought some rubbers for it, just to see what it felt like.
All I can say is, I owe the Dawei company a big fat excuse! Here I've been, thinking that they created low quality crap and now they've proved me wrong for the second time when it comes to blades, you all know how I feel about the Wavestone.
Even with the smaller rubbers I could feel how the bigger head helped me away from the table and I almost felt like I couldn't miss when I swinged away. I would rate the blade a tad faster then the Joola Cat but still with superior control. Even with my old sheet of Globe 999 that almost lost all of its tack, I could loop away against most shots and this wasn't were the blade excelled. Oh no, this blade was best either for blocks or chops away from the table.
So, now I'm in a dilemma as I have a Donic Cayman on order but I'm having a hard time to see how it can compete with this...
I will play the rest of the season with my Cat blade, not because its better, but because the Super Block is cut to fit on that one and it wouldn't cover this blade. Hopefully, I will soon get my sheet of Globe 979 pips to try on this blade, cause the Anti was nice, but it wasn't quite like my pips.
All I can say is, this blade does what it says and more! Also, its listed at 100g, don't know if that is correct, but it sure didn't feel heavy to me as it got a perfect balance.
Thanks Rob, this is truly another great blade from Dawei/Affordable!
