Hey Deep, definitely, happy new year to you too let’s hope for improvements soon! No worries at all we’re happy to help with any table tennis related topics and equipment is a big one for sure.
Yeah I can understand wanting to test new blades right now in the current situation as there aren’t any events etc. I personally really like the Harimoto blade and found it to have a sharper and crisper feel compared to the Apolonia and probably slightly more speed as well. Both have very good control for carbon blades and are not all out speed/power blades but still with plenty of pop. I’d also say the Harimoto blade might be slightly stiffer and more direct but probably not a huge difference from your Apolonia.
I’m quite sure you’ll enjoy the Harimoto anyway, let us know how it goes!
Cheers, stay safe, Tom
