This blade is cheap and has very good wood in comparison to other blades in its price range. It’s not just suitable for beginners, but it can also be used for attacking with a hard and fast rubber cover.

I highly recommend it in this price category.

This blade is rated all, but it is closer to all+, so it is not as slow as you might think. Control is amazing. It is a thin (5.3 mm) looping blade. The handle is hollow, and the blade is made of 5 plies of wood (limba-limba-ayous-limba-limba).

It is not perfect for smash or flick but great for loops, pushes, and chops. If you like to hit hard and maintain control, you’ll get this with Senso V2. The sweet spot is medium, and block is medium easy to perform but not too dangerous for your opponent.

This blade does not have too much power of its own, so you need to use force when hitting from a distance. It might not be a blade for top world players, but if you are a recreational player or a minor league competitor, this is a great choice for an all-around game.

Edit (after some time): I put Yasaka Rakza 7 and Rakza 7 soft on this blade, and it is a miracle! Speed, control, and spin all in one. Senso V2 totally keeps these fast rubbers under control. Forehand with R7 soft is amazing. Loop has an enormous amount of spin. It is great to hit and to watch. The best combination I have tried so far.

Gee, I never thought that an ALL blade can be this good. I have this blade just to play around with basement players, but I am hooked with this blade. It is good for short game and service return, but it is amazingly good for looping (with extra kick and curved ball). I don’t lose a lot of speed either with it (I am playing close to table).

However, it is not too good for blocking or smashing. But given some time, when you can hit right at the sweet spot, you can block or smash well.
