This composite blade utilizes a 5+2 construction, featuring an inner-carbon composition designed to provide a blend of offensive capability and high-level touch. By placing the carbon layers closer to the core, the blade retains a wood-like feel, offering enough dwell time for effective spin generation and precise ball placement. Its balance is noted as being well-maintained, allowing players to manage the flow of the game through both aggressive attacking and controlled short-game maneuvers.

Playing Characteristics

• Feel and Stiffness: Despite the inclusion of carbon, the blade is reported to be non-stiff, providing a sensitive, high-feedback sensation that closely mimics the playing experience of an all-wood blade.
• Performance: It offers a balance of speed and control, enabling versatile play from both close to the table and at moderate distances. Users report that it is capable of producing sharp, deep shots while maintaining enough reliability for blocking and tactical play.
• Build Quality: The construction features high-quality, fine hardwoods and a smooth, refined handle finish. The blade is sturdy and noted for its aesthetic appeal.

Considerations for Use

• Handle Ergonomics: While the handle is visually pleasing, some users may find it to be on the smaller side or slightly slippery, which may necessitate the use of an overgrip for optimal comfort and security during intense play.
• Matching Rubbers: Because of its inner-carbon design, the blade remains sensitive to the choice of rubbers. Pairing it with high-tension or aggressive rubbers can increase its intensity, though it remains forgiving enough to suit a variety of offensive styles depending on the specific rubber hardness selected.
