I decided to give this blade a try and found that its speed is comparable to the Stiga Clipper Wood. Surprisingly, I didn’t perceive it as stiff or hard, despite using MXP 2.2 rubber on both sides. When it comes to topspin play, this blade truly shines. It effortlessly picks up the ball, enabling me to generate an exceptional amount of spin and speed. I found it particularly effective for close to mid-distance play.

While the blade performs adequately away from the table, it requires engaging the sponge of the rubber and maintaining a consistent stroke. It is also suitable for both serving and receiving serves.

These are my personal observations and experiences after using the blade for almost a year. Notably, I previously used the Innerforce ZLC as my primary blade before switching to the Had Raw.

Very fast, hard blade. Great for top spin. However, it is bad in receiving service.

The blade is extremely hard, making it difficult to generate topspin. However, its hardness makes it a good option for blocking.
