OOAK Table Tennis Forum

OOAK shop is considering carrying Darker blades, as we've finally managed to contact them.

It would be great to hear which you think are their best blades, or if there are any that you'd be particularly interested in.

7p2a
7p2a-7t
7p2a carbon
jspeed90/tanpan, maybe one of their nice single ply. May not be worthwhile to you. Not sure how the Juic one you have sells.
maybe one of their nice jpens. though this may not be of any worth to you. I might be interested in one...
I don't know their defensive blades...

single ply straight handle, take that as a request

darker 7p-2A.DF!!!!

amazing defence blade

The 7P-2A.7t and the Tanpan speed 90 are definitely amazing blades!
I have just ordered the Hinoki 3maigouban which I believe to be as ood as well !

Thanks a lot guys, that's great feedback!!!

The Jpen Speed 90, its the blade I have been playing with lately and it is great. It has a real slow gear as well as an ultra fast blade, just a mite slower than a OFF++ carbon blade but as slow as you want it to be on the low end.

These are all the available Darker Blades, handle types and the Recommended Retail Price:

We're now Darker distributors , although only for Australia.

We'll be ordering our first shipment soon, so if anyone is interested in a partcular blade, perhaps one that's new or not available anywhere yet, we'd be happy to include in our shipment.

What is the conversion for "Yen"? I know that cannot be Chinese Yen, (yuan). LOL

1000 Yen = USD $11.60

Yes that's right, thanks MMNB!

hagg,

there will definitely be a few shakehand hinoki single plys sales for ya

i'm contemplating it, but they're very very popular blades...

Yes I figured they would be most popular too, and they're quite unique. Most come in either FL or ST, and I'd most likely bias towatd FL as it seems more popular.

BTW The prices above are just the RRP set by Darker, I expect our prices to be somewhat below that.

make sure you get ONE straight handle at least thats my favourite, and if its there i'll be more tempted....
