My favorite blade! I play with Giant Long 0.5 and Palio CJ8000 Biotech. The blade is stiff and requires soft rubber and is slow, because it is quite fast like an off- blade. It works well for short table blocks, attacking with loops, and chopping. It is the best blade for an allround game with long pips.

Very good blade, especially for OX LP.

Great control for LP.

Stiff (provided by glass fiber).

Stiffness gives you power on the forehand, better reversal, and a bigger sweet spot.

Head of the blade is not as big as other defensive blades, which is good. It’s easier to maneuver and twiddle.

Balsa core.

Review text:

I played with this blade with Dornenglanz ox for a long time, but stopped using it because it lacks a unique identity.

I should note that this blade does not have the infamous balsa feel, whether you like it or hate it.

The blade is average in spin generation and spin sensitivity. Its hardness and stiffness feel medium. There are many faster and many slower blades made for defensive players.

It can be a good blade to develop long pips skills. As you become more sure with your pips, you will probably switch to a faster blade.
