Fast blade.

This was an awesome blade before the speed glue ban. However, I can’t use it now because the ball doesn’t seem to stay on the blade long enough for me to control or spin it. I think it also lost some speed over the years of playing with it.

It’s a very solid blade for a loop-drive player. It’s stiff enough for power shots, but not overly so that looping becomes difficult. The Kevlar material isn’t too stiff either, so it doesn’t inhibit looping.

I love the Super Core handle. The sensation is just right for me; barely any vibration, but just enough so I feel in control. However, I really don’t like the flared handle. It’s just way too thin, even for my small hands. If you do go with this blade, I suggest getting the straight handle. It should be better than the flared.
