I’m using it with Andro Rasant Grip FH and Donic Bluefire M1 BH. The fast blade with balanced control and lightweight is suitable for pro players for loop and spin.

The blade is light, small, powerful, but soft, and has a huge dwell time. It’s great for aggressive attackers. The ST handle is a bit small and short. I used it with Sigma I Europe FH and Rakza 7 BH, which is such an aggressive combination. Control & Block is in your hand!
