If you have a flicky game, you will have a hard time with this blade, especially on long, sweaty summer days. I have thrown this blade a number of times during a match because it lacks the typical thumb anchor point. During high-torque pendulum serves, it has the tendency to move in my hand. Although the handle felt great to me at first, it is now the reason I am switching to a more conventional handle.

Very lightweight, mine measured at 68 grams, and very comfortable. This was my blade of choice before I switched to the Joola Kool. However, in comparison, this is an allrounder blade. It provides a lot of control, but still maintains some speed. Although I am not particularly fond of the sound it produces, as it resembles that of hollow wood, this is a common characteristic of allwood blades. It also has great feeling, making it suitable for allrounders who wish to incorporate more offense into their gameplay.

This is a light weight and powerful blade. On the forehand side, I use Yasaka New Era with 2.2mm sponge, sponge hardness is 45-47. On the backhand side, I use Palio Emperor Dragon with GP sponge 2.2mm, sponge hardness 40-42. For forehand top spin stroke with full swing, it’s a Lightspeed Offensive 5 star Blade. The backhand stroke is harder for a kill shot, as I have only 2 hours with this blade so far. For blocking, it’s average - a heavier blade is better for blocking 90 grams. This blade is 75 grams, so fast and light. Underspin is good with this blade. For All + or Offensive player, this blade is a scoring machine. Control is average so far, with more time it will work better for me. The handle is perfect for me. For backhands, I need more time to get used to the blade. For someone looking for a light weight, powerful blade with a superb handle, this blade is Top gun. I picked this up on ebay from the Philippines for 34.50 plus 6.97 shipping. Superb Blade.
