By using frequency and effective stiffness calculation, I can do an estimation that this blade:

  1. has about the same speed as 8mm 1ply hinoki but half of its stiffness.
  2. has 65% of Schlager carbon speed and 17% of its stiffness.

Great cork-covered handle.

Nice blade for close and middle distance play. I use F3 Big Slam 2.0 on both sides. This combo generates very good spin and excellent control.

Good spin on serves, good control on serve returns. Very good dwell time on the racket face. Good for looping and hitting at the top of the bounce, not so good for looping late off of the bounce.

Good for attacking over the table. Quick counter-hitting. Linear response. Forgiving of small errors.

Overall, a very good blade for all-around play near the table.
