I tried this blade with Friendship 729 Battle 2 (40 degrees) on the forehand and Tibhar MX-P on the backhand. I enjoy how easily I can get the ball on the table. Loops are also strong.
Blocks are generally OK if the opponent hits hard, but when the strength is lacking, I have to put in a full stroke to get the ball across the net.
The flaw I feel for this blade is that the drives are not strong. It is very difficult to win points through smashes as they are easily blocked by my opponents. It is good for placing close to the table, but it requires a lot of effort to play far from the table.
FYI This blade came out around April 2023.
