Blutenkirsche B-3002 Table Tennis Blade
I have no idea what does Blutenkirsche mean. It is Cherry in German. This brand comes from China even though it says German on its face. This is a very inexpensive blade - costs less than $20. Except the blade model, you don’t find anything on this blade - no package also.
This is a DEF+ / ALL blade. The blade is wide, so a perfect blade for defense and attack. There are three plies - the same blade may have a 5 layers with the same model number.
I have a friend with whom I have been playing fore more than 2 years. He had a JUIC all round blade. He is close to 70 years old but a pretty good player. His JUIC blade broke a while back, and he has been going on and off with different blades. He has tried carbon blades, but nothing seems to help him. He uses Butterfly Super Anti on the backhand. He was not happy with his game recently. He has asked me whether I can put soemthing for me. I have also thought this is an opportunity for me to grand a Christmas Gift for him.
I have put a set up with XIOM Omega I Asian Max on the forehand and Butterfly Super Anti on the backhand. I would say from the time he has got this paddle in his hand, he has got perfect control. I have hit with him for a while, and noticed power strokes coming from his forehand. With the combination of Anti on his backhand, it was hard to predict what was coming to you. He has beat some good players who used to beat him. He appreciated me for putting together something like that for him.
I’m waiting for few more days and going to put a Omega II for him.

It means sakura in Japanese, cherry in English and BLütenkirsche in German. Chinese manufacturer uses sakura as well as blutenkirche names for their mostly spruce, that is pine wood inexpensive blades. Some ebay sellers cheat in naive buyers as if they are hinoki, lol. Some East Europian Gypsies do the same trick with cupper rings stating it is made of gold.
