Bought a second-hand Japanese version, I now use it with DHS Hurricane 3 neo provincial. I actually like it. I bought this bat as a back up for my Viscaria and Hadraw VK, but I actually like it better.

Beautiful blade (the Japanese version). This blade is a perfect balance between offense, control, and good spin. I’m an intermediate amateur attacking player, and I had Maze Optimal Performance and Timo Boll CAF before. I almost didn’t need to adjust to this blade. It has everything you need and a nice wood feel. I can feel the ball when I’m topspinning it.

This is my first custom blade, and I am very satisfied with it. I’ve paired it with r7/r7soft max sponge, and my first impressions have been that it is head-heavy and noticeably thick. When I started playing with it, I immediately got used to it. It has exceptional feel, control, and consistency, which has given me the confidence to practice and perform loops and heavy topspins. It has helped me progress a lot.
Now I’ve paired it with rz/rx max sponge, and I really enjoy this combination as I can use my power to generate speed and spin. Great quality for the price (mine was 44 euros).
