Just wanted to say that the blade’s weight is more than 75 grams. Mine weighs 94 grams. Somebody else has seen a couple more blades like this, all over 90 grams.

Incredible control, massive sweet spot, and nice touch. Apart from a narrow band near the edges, the blade is all sweet spot. At lower-effort hits, it is not fast, and you can push really nicely with it. At short or medium distances from the table, if you put a bit of effort, it really starts to show what it can do. It is perfect for a beginner attacker like me.

Update 1: It also blocks really nicely, but it is a bit too heavy. I’ve put 2 H3Neo on it. I love the touch of the blade with the fastness of the rubbers, but now my paddle is as heavy as a rock, and I pay the price every time I want to brush-loop. I cannot say the same with other lighter blades like Galaxy W-6. So this blade goes well only with medium (heavy) rubbers.

Update 2: I think the blade’s speed is All+ or a bit above that.

Probably the best blade I have ever used. It is light, fast, and offensive. Despite these attributes, it still manages to have good control.
