Users who are rating this one-ply blade as flexible need to understand the difference between softness and flex. As a general rule, thin 5-ply blades flex, while one-ply blades may be soft but are generally stiff.

I just started using JPen blade for fun and played with it and Butterfly Spin Art. I was surprised that I was able to grasp the technique of JPen so quickly. This is a very high-quality blade, no doubt about it. I cannot find any faults with this blade. I think I play JPen better than I do shake hand nah.

Pros:

As with other reviews I’ve written, I use the shakehand style. I’ve used this blade a couple of times, paired with Tenergy 64. It offers lightning speed and excellent control. It has a soft feel, which becomes more solid when smashing. Looping is effortless. Driving the ball is a piece of cake, providing an amazing experience.

Cons:

There are no significant cons to mention.
