This blade offers exceptional control. While I had to sacrifice some speed compared to my previous 729 Bomb blade, I gained increased consistency and stayed in rallies longer, resulting in more consistent wins. After my initial practice, I noticed a slight decline in my kill shot capability, but my overall play improved significantly. The blade provides excellent feedback and boasts a more extensive sweet spot than the Bomb. Further use will allow for a more comprehensive evaluation.

Despite my initial enthusiasm, I never fully connected with this blade. The oval-shaped flared handle, with its wide base, prevented it from fitting comfortably in my hand. I also struggled to adapt my playing style to this blade. As an offensive player, I prioritize looping from both sides. However, I encountered difficulties performing opening loops against underspin. Despite using the same rubbers as on my 729 Bomb blade, where I faced no such issues, I experienced problems with this blade. I have since switched to the Donic Dicon, aiming for a balance between speed and feel. My search for the ideal blade with both exceptional feel and speed continues.
