I have the Epox Offensive.

Great blade. Awesome control, not as fast as my acoustic, I couldn't create as much spin with it either, but it has a pretty good feel(harder) and it's great for blocking, smashing.

I just tried out the blade tonight on my robot. I've got the anatomic version which feels very comfortable. Not much vibration, but good feedback. Very good control and good speed. I feel that I could generate good spin with it. It had enough dwell time to loop underspin pretty easily. I used it with Inspirit Quattro.

Since they blade is all black even around the edge I cannot tell what plies it has or their thickness. I've used several blades and this one ranks at or near the top. I'll see how it plays at the club.

Sorry, forgot to mention I used the Epox Offensive. By the way, the blade is made in China.

So, what are the other blades that are on the top?
I'll be looking forward to hear more about the epox off and also others in your collection....

They seems to be an answer to Andro Cell Blades.

Well, I've owned several blades (http://picasaweb.google.com/robjkc) but ended up selling most of these thanks to Cole (colestt.com).

This one is hard to compare to the other blades I've owned. Granted, I'm no blade expert and I've only hit with this blade using a robot so take what I say with a grain of salt. I ordered mine from americantabletennis and asked for one between 87-89 grams since I've found out I like a blade a little on the heavy side. I received one that weighed around 87 grams. I slapped some Inspirit quattro on and the total setup weighs about 175 grams. I feels really balanced and is definitely not head heavy, so I could go with some heavy rubber and still be fine.

Just bouncing the ball on the blade with the rubber, you get sort of a crisp and somewhat hollow feeling. The feeling is somewhat unique from the other blades I have used. It has nice feedback even though it is somewhat stiff with a small about of flex, but not as stiff as some of the carbon blades I have owned. When hitting the ball there is enough dwell time to be able to load up some spin on the ball. The blade I can probably best compare it to is the Yasaka Extra Offensive. It has a similar crisp sound with a medium hard feel. The Extra Offensive was a little too fast for me though but this one seems to be about the right speed. This blade also seems to have very good touch as well.

Anyway, for the price I don't think you can go wrong with this one. I bought it for $42 at americantabletennis/megaspin. It is selling for $60 at paddlepalace.com. One thing I'm not real keen about is the fact that you cannot see the different plies on the side since they put a thin layer of black colored wood around the entire edge, including the handle. So it looks like a one ply blade. Also being colored black the blade will never have that nice "aged" looke I like to see after a blade has seen some use. Other than that the finish on the blade is very good and is very smooth and rounded off around the neck making it very comfortable.

I'll try to post some impressions after I use it in a match.
