Madero muy infravalorado y extraordinariamente polivalente, ya que se puede pasar con l desde la defensa al ataque (all- to off)
Excelente control y ataque de loopspin.
Se comporta bien con gomas duras y medio duras. Tambin con shorts pips in backhand.
The blade more close to the perfection in the market

Superior feeling and control. Not fast enough for an aggressive advanced attacker. Great for a chopping or combination setup. Quality and construction is great. Will keep to use and long pips blade or for collection.

Gives an average usage value. Nice work. The Waldner version is much better in its category.

Very nice blade for the modern table tennis game that offers speed as needed, awesome control, good blocking, very nice touch and feel, & well balanced. The blade seems to be more of an OFF- to OFF blade when using Tibhar Evolution MX-S Max rubber on both sides. The craftsmanship of the blade is superior with a nice polished satin-like finish. Blade make-up (Spruce, Carbon Fleece Zylon, Ayous, Kiri). The flared handle is a very nice fit in my hand and comfortable. The World Champion 89' series blades were made for the modern table tennis game (Persson OFF+, Waldner OFF, & Appelgren AR+). The Waldner OFF inner-fiber blade is my favorite of the three. Give one a try and you will be pleased. Tabletennis11 has the best pricing for the WC89 Series blades.

dissapointment

This blade is pure joy to play. Great feeling, great control and it is fast when you need.
I think it has nothing with all or even all+ declaration, but off- its true.
Light with large head , quality is great(lenses could be better but doesn't affect game just visually ) .
It has fine vibrations with just right amount thus it can provide nice feeling and precision, it will forgive you many mistakes because it is not so stiff, and this will affect his penetration power, some time you need to activate you body. Paired with omega 7 rubbers it nice offensive tool.

Off blade with an incredible control. Fast but not too much. Perfect pairing with Rakza 7 max FH and 2 mm on BH. Excellent in drive, short game, pushes, serves and easy ultra spinny top spin bh & fh.
Perfect low weigth, mine is 80 g. Superbe build quality for a reasonable price. One of the very best blade I've tried.

This is absolutely perfect blade, the best I've ever played (I played dozens of blades during last 15 years from Grubba ALL+, Primorac OFF-, Korbel OFF, Viscaria, as well as Stiga Clipper, Donic Waldner Ultra Carbon, Nittaku Acoustic, Harimoto ALC etc.).
Comparing to above mentioned, It's rather OFF- than ALL+ (between Primorac and Korbel), so it's not only for allround but also offensive players, who get their power from the body and arm, not the equipment itself. Saying this, I'm able to play a really powerful topspins with this blade, both close and far from the table, but at the same time it has a great control, consistency and "feeling". I would describe it as a combo of the best features of Butterfly Viscaria and Korbel - it has similar feeling, a little bit of vibrations and good control as Korbel (but even better) and a great elasticity and consistency of Viscaria with even bigger sweet spot. It's not as speedy as Korbel and Viscaria (but the difference is not so big as an "all+" label may suggest), but hold the ball longer on the rocket which gives a great volume of rotation and control.

Playing the AWC89 for almost 2 years now. I keep trying other blades from time to time but always get back to this one. Superb feeling with Rozena or Tenergies. Easy to play topspin hard or soft. Very precise and easy blocking. Everything just works and lands.
Flared handle is tiny so i play it with ST handle and grip tape. -1 point because of tiny handle.

This is an excellent blade if you are an allround or controlled offensive player.The all+ rating is accurate but with such an abundance of gears this blade can be pushed from def through to off with ease.The combination of wood and composite material are really well matched, giving small high frequency vibrations which let you feel the ball on the blade and provide you with a comparatively "woody" feeling.The large sweet spot increases consistancy across your entire range of strokes resulting in more balls on the table.With P2 F/H and Maxx P B/H I could generate loads of spin,and the great control meant I could concentrate more on placement (much to my opponents detriment).Speed is mostly moderate, but fast loops/drives/ smashes are possible, but I feel this blade might struggle beyond mid distance.So if you want an extremely capable blade for variable play tending off,then I can highly recommend
the Appelgren W/C 89.

The best feeling of all my blades collection. Very light, control is the best aspect of this blade without lack of speed. Very comfortable and really really well done with good quality wood, perfect construction. I'm quite impressed with the quality. It is not the most beautiful racket but one of the best constructed that I had.

Slow blade. Top spin game very badly. The ball flies either in the net or at the table. Slow pace game. The only lining that fit acuda s2. The blade has a great control.

There will never be any blade that is perfect but this has to be one of the closest ones. I played with Spirit, st before this with slower rubbers (M1 turbo, max) now i have paired this with the MX-P 2.1 bh and fh. It is totaly amazing! So long tenergy 05! The blade gives perfect control, speed ratio. Perfect for looping. Really good fit in the hand! St handle.

Great feeling! It's a very good upgrade of Donic Appelgren Senso V1. Exactly same control but with a little more speed. Now it became my favorite blade and the Senso V1 left it in its case. :)
