All-wood
This is quite a slow blade with flex and a good feeling when touching the ball. The blade finishing is very good as Andro equips it with an edge seal which protects the blade from denting. I have used it for almost a year and have been very happy until realizing that I need more speed for my play. It is a very good blade for all-round and spin games, but it demands your power for finishing points. If paired with Chinese hard rubber, it feels dead and slow. It will shine if you pair it with medium-hard tensor rubber as it will give additional spin due to its flex.
My rating: — Speed = 7.5 — Control = 8.5 — Stiffness = Some flex — Hardness = Medium soft — Throw angle = High
Updated 5/1/2013: This blade has the same flex as my Yinhe W6, a very good blade for looping but with a more soft feeling. For control, it’s not as good as the W6 even though it’s slower.
Very good ALL+ blade that gives a good feeling even when you don’t hit the ball at the sweet spot (or otherwise said: has a large sweet spot). Combined with Tibhar Genius or other Tensor rubbers, it’s really good for Allround spin attacks. It also feels rather light (80g is correct).
I repeat: a good blade, surely underestimated or not known enough.
My Stiga Tube Allround blade is definitely better, though!
It is a very good blade if you want to produce maximum spin on your shots.
However, I noticed some vibration which I would prefer not to have in a blade that is designed to flex.
Overall, I believe that it is a very comfortable blade if you play close to the table or at mid distance. You can achieve even better results when playing close to the table.
This blade is difficult to play away from the table, but it provides great control. It has a loud knocking sound and is a lightweight blade. It feels comfortable to hold.
I have used Acuda S3 on the backhand and Andro Hexer on the forehand with this blade so far and have had good results.
It’s a good blade to play with. I think you can achieve the feeling you want and the control you need without any problems.
However, concerning speed, this blade generates a very strong hit at mid and close-to-the-table distances, but that’s about it.
I tried it with Acuda s2 2.0mm in forehand and backhand, and it’s a good spin generator at mid distance because of its flexibility.
But when I tried it with Coppa turbo platin x1 max in forehand and backhand, I could hit like a mortal weapon at close-to-the-table and mid-distance.
It’s a good blade if you’re looking for one that gives you the control of allwood and the power of offwood.
