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.

The best blade I have ever tried offers awesome control, amazing loops, and an outstanding feel. It is best for players looking for offensive play with a lot of control.

Excellent blade with good speed and great control. Perfect for intermediate and advanced players, well-suited for those who have been playing for at least six months.

This is not a blade for beginners, and SENSO V1 can cause sport injuries to your wrist, like wrist sprain.

For me, this is a do-it-all blade, suitable for players from beginner to advanced levels depending on the rubbers used.

I currently use Rakza 7 Max on the forehand and Rakza 7 Soft Max on the backhand. This combination works well for a modern topspin game with good control.

It should be up there with all the popular blades.

I have been using this blade for several years and find it very satisfactory.

I was going to buy a more expensive blade, but since I no longer compete in tournaments, I decided to get this one.

It is a much newer version of my previous blade, and I’m very happy with it. I like the control I get from it, plus the ball comes out fast.

Good value 7-ply blade. The finish is decent, especially considering the price. It features a Koto outer layer and is surprisingly thin, with very little vibration.

The wood seems very good.

#10October 2015

For players who seek an offensive style of play with a high degree of control.

#11September 2014

Fast delivery, perfect control, and good speed.

This combination of high control and speed, especially when paired with Acuda S2 and Bluefire M2 rubbers, felt perfect for me.

I am using this blade with Bluefire M3, and I find it very similar in control to my previous Diablo Senso, but with more power. I am very satisfied.

#14March 2013

I am using this blade with Bluefire M3 on both sides.

I’m getting more power on smashes with no noticeable difference in control compared to the Waldner Diablo Senso, which I have been using for several years.

This is the best 7-ply wood blade I’ve tested. It offers a perfect feel and excellent control.

When paired with tensor rubbers, it’s fast enough to deliver powerful kill shots. A treasure to keep for sure!
