The gatien extra 3D is easy to control and due to its
light weight and medium speed, it creates a good feel for the ball. The
ideal blade for an offensive all rounder. I use Joola Tango Tensor 1.5mm
to add speed to this fine quality blade. When buying a blade, be sure to
have it weighed as they tend to vary plus or minus 5 grams and sometimes
even more. I rate this blade between 8 and 8.5. Good luck to all! Eclo
It is soft and flexible, thus ideal for loopers. For
hard hitting/smash, it is OK only. Power at near table up to mid
distance is sufficient. At long distance, it seems too flexible to
generate strong power. 3D technology (when hit right) gives the catapult
effect. It can be lethal if you use fast rubbers. Summary: Excellent
Control - Sufficient Speed/Power. Jan Vincent
This is a classic. I would recommend this blade to
anyone, from absolute begginers to very experienced players. Excellent
blade for offensive game, slightly slower and softer than stiga
offensive classic, but much better feeling. Control on blocks and pushes
is impressive. It would suit players with a long, fast strokes. When you
loop, you can feel the blade flex, giving tremendous spin and speed to
your topspin shots. Nice craftmanship too, as all yasaka blades, and
excellent price. Only one problem: it is pretty head heavy. Robert,
