OOAK Table Tennis Forum

I tried Zeus briefly. Very very good blade! Very good speed and control and feel on the FH. I use Pluto 1mm on the BH and the BH side sloooowed down a lot! I netted a whole lot chopping from the middle. Certainly suits the close to the table play. But, would certainly be able to adjust given some time. I would love the chance to play with it longer.

I have just gotten my ZEUS blade with Dtec 0.5 and Tibhar Evolution EL-P 2.1

Its a very stiff blade and that suits me well since I hate too much vibration

Its just fast enough for making that forehand loop dangerous, though a smash misses some power, but I guess you cannot have it all

The Dtec in 0.5 is extremly insensitive to spin on this blade (even though its a 0.5), you can push and hit very hard against almost all balls. And hitting with it is probably the best I have tried yet.

Chopping and chop blocking is very linear, and very low (direct) chops are easy to make.

guess they got tired of people asking which side is the FH side and finally modified the blade...

How fast is the blade, can you compare it ti Chen Weixing and Joo Se Hyuk.
Also how fast ( or slow) in the backhand side, is there a big difference between fh to Bh ?

Is it most suited for chopping or does it work well for a chopping game as well ?

I never found a good combination for zeus blade. The forehand isnt too picky but the backhand i had trouble, ppl recommended hellfire but for me it didnt suit my game.
At the table blocking etc i hated the high throw angle, i found it difficult to keep things low. Maybe i just dont like hinoki.
chopping is ok but other blades chop better. I just didnt know what to do with it and its also quite big so kinda heavy if you stick thick rubbers on. On a blind test i also couldnt tell which side was which so speed wise its pretty similar

Zeus. It's not heavy. Mine is around 85 grams. It is faster then Nittaku shake. The head size is smaller then my Firestarter. Sound of the carbon is very pronounced. I play chopping game and I find chopping with P1R 0.5mm sponge to be manageable. Chopping on fh is as hard as on any all wood faster blade. Throw angle is good for chopping on bh and attacking. Speed wise I would go off on fh and off minus bh. Vibrations are no concerns. Handle is thicker so no issues for Europeans. Craftsmanship is not so good for the price bracket sadly and came without any box, just thrown inside bubble.

Firestarter. Medium weight as the Zeus I received. Def on BH and All on FH. Consistent without annoying flex. Chopping can lead the ball to not go deep enough on the table. Attacking is not so bad and is usable.
