I need to find the best rubbers for this blade. Acuda S2 and S3 are probably good options for control. Tennergy made the blade too heavy.

#2 — November 2012

This blade provides great control, along with good speed and spin.

#3 — July 2010

The blade is faster compared to the Jonyer Hinoki. It has less flex, between average and stiff. There is less spin in opening loops, but this is not a major issue. The topspeed is much faster. The handle is smaller and a bit round. My flared handle weighs 82 grams.
