What a beautiful little thing! I mean it literally, since this is the smallest blade I’ve ever owned.
The control rating is estimated to be 9.2 right now, but in my opinion, it’s not worse than my Koki Niwa Wood’s 9.7. The Niwa is simply better when you play far from the table.
I have two of these blades, both weighing 78 grams. One is equipped with Andro Hexer Powergrip SFX 2.1 mm on both sides. The SFX is way too soft and slow, even though the blade is rather stiff. Use at least 47.5-degree rubbers.
The other blade has Fastarc G-1 Max (2.2 mm). The Novacell OFF/S shows its best qualities when you play close to the table. I have only tested a few carbon blades in my life and not a single balsa blade, but so far, this Novacell/G-1 combination is best for my slow reflexes. You don’t have to have perfect technique with semi-hard rubbers. I win most of my points hitting with only my hand.
The OFF/S is also ideal for women and children because of its light weight and small handle.
Light blade, but I don’t have a good feeling with it.
Light blade with decent speed and a huge amount of control.
I paired it with Rakza 7 Soft 1.8 on the backhand and Fastarc G1 2.0 on the forehand. This is a good combo for close-to-the-table play with many pushes, short game, and medium-power topspins.
