I like the K1 model a lot, but I’m currently training with this one. While I have less feel compared to the K1, this blade is faster and much better for closing out points with a flat hit. The build quality is excellent, especially considering how cheap the blade is.

The sweet spot feels around 75-80%, making it excellent for developing techniques. Currently, I have it paired with an AK47 Blue on the forehand, and it’s like a missile. On the backhand, I use a boosted Cross Purple.
This is a very fast and good combination for intermediate amateurs. The blade has a frequency of 1280hz and weighs 85g.

Great blade for under $7 when I bought it off AliExpress. I’m not sure if the carbon is real, but the blade is significantly stiff and probably around OFF- to allround in speed. The speed isn’t super high, but it’s very usable.
Part of the handle was peeling when it arrived, but I fixed it with super glue pretty easily. There was also a blemish on the handle. I suspect the low price might be due to minor defects in the batch I bought from. Either way, it was still good quality considering the price.
I paired it with two sheets of Corbor to make a cheap beginner setup for some clubmates. It has been effective, and I would recommend it for beginners on a budget or someone looking to keep a spare racket for others to borrow.
