The blade has very good board hardness and control. Although it was played faster, it seems very good at this price.

Boa flexibilidade. Ainda prefiro Yinhe Y-15, Yinhe N9 ou Yinhe MC-2.

Controle surpreendente. A melhor madeira para controle.

7 folhas. Digna de clone da Xiom Solo.

Requer borrachas rápidas.

This one appears to be a Xiom Solo clone - a 7-ply blade with a soft feel and quite a bit of flex. The feel and control are exceptional, making looping easy and precise, especially coming down from harder and faster 7-ply blades.

However, the blade’s drawback is its reduced speed. Nonetheless, on the backhand, the flex provides a good kick that partially compensates for the speed loss. For the forehand, a proper stroke is crucial, especially when using H3 rubbers.

If higher speed is required, it’s advisable to use faster rubbers on the forehand. For players who prefer short pips (SP), both control and speed are well-balanced. An excellent combination is achieved when pairing the blade with Waran 2.0 rubbers on the backhand.
