I was looking for a blade that would allow me to play my best game of Sonic Revert.
I was surprised that I have not written about this blade, which I have had for 3 years now. I used it back then. This blade is not for loopers, because it has hard walnut outer veneers, so ball contact is quite short, even with Bluefire M2. This blade is more for a blocker/smasher type of player.
The speed is in the lower OFF- range. I tried it with an ST handle, which is quite nice, oval shaped, and fits small hands well too. The blade has enough rigidity and power for big slams and finishing shots paired with very crisp feel and control. I did not like Acuda S2 on it. Joola Samba Plus was good. Donic BF M2, JP03, and Desto F3 were good with the blade. I would not recommend Tenergy for this blade.
The blade has a small head with 154*144 mm dimensions, a senso (hollowed) handle, so it is quite light with medium-hard rubbers.
Hi again,
All properties of this blade are very good, but only one thing is bad. When hitting the ball, it sounds like a beginner’s racket. This means you hear a “TOK” sound when hitting the ball, and it is a very ugly sound! I think the senso handle and holes on it make this sound.
