OOAK Table Tennis Forum

Is it not a bit light at 70 grams and is it a bit stiff ?
More popular blades tend to be around 85 grams.
Since Adidas are pulling out you can pick up some of their blades at discounted prices. Avenger 5 might be worthwhile looking at. Also the Yinhe / Galaxy V14 is decent cheap carbon based blade. Have used it whilst 2 guys I know have switched to it one from a Stiga Clipper and another from a TB ZLC - one a decent junior and the other a top vet. But it might be too fast for what you're looking for.
A simple 5 ply would be a Xiom Diva (ALL++) whilst the Xiom Solo (OFF-) is an easy to use 7 ply. No carbon.
Amadeus uses Hinoki also very nice but with the small head might be a bit old hat. Walnut gives a nice feel (on the Avenger 5 - again haven't used it) but Limba is generally the more preferred outer pile for feedback and dwell time.
Suggest sticking with the popular blades as already mentioned. These are often listed on some of the more popular TT web sites. Or someone else might chip in on the OOAK.

I'm bit suss on the andro blades. They have no classics that I'm aware and they seem to bring out new gimmicky stuff each season. Having said that i think their gimmicky stuff is quite good but they do have a lot of fancy composite stuff.

Seriously just get a Yinhe/Milky Way blade. Way cheaper and equal in quality to any $100+ blade, or close enough. Unless you are an absolute professional, you won't notice any difference.
I just got a T-5 for $20 USD. I learned to play on a T-7. Same deal with rubbers, go for the Chinese brands which are high quality and low in price such as RITC, DHS, etc. You could almost have 3 complete rackets for $130. I got my T-5 with RITC Friendship 729 Faster, and RITC Friendship Super 729 FX for around $40 USD total.
My T-7 has Hurricane 2 and some LP rubber on it, around $50 total.
Bet hey, it's your money!

And the N11 is the cheapest of the lot. $11 from Eacheng et al.

I played with Hi-Loom Andro and it is the softest blade ever. hinoki cnf limba kiri, 7 ply very high throw, good quality of balls, better than any hinoki innerforce carbon joola/gewo etc perfect for new balls, because of softness and stiffness
