I really like this blade! It has a sharp and clear feel for the ball, the exact opposite of a carbon blade.

I first bought this blade for one of my children. It is a superb first custom bat blade. I put a pair of Friendship Focus 3 snipe on it, and wow, what a joy to play with for the price (just under 70 Euro)! Maximum control all over the table.

This blade is slightly bigger than the average blade with a head dimension of 155x155mm, so it’s a bit wider on the sides compared to other blades I’ve tried. This gives the racket a very forgiving wide sweet spot.

I have now bought one for myself, pairing it with Stiga DNA Platinum Hard. Blocking with this blade is awesome; you will feel like a wall. Due to the large head, it can get a little head-heavy with a heavy rubber like DNA Platinum Hard. I will have to see if I keep playing with this bat or return to my Stiga Nostalgic Allround, which has a higher throw, making it a bit more suitable for looping.

I thought this blade would be too slow at first, but it seems to have a bit of punch in it after all. For me, as a low, intermediate adult, it gives me a perfect blend of control and speed. I am an offensive player that tries to loop everything that gets long over the table but also likes to stay close to the table and block if I face a more aggressive opponent. This blade has a medium/low throw with the DNA Platinum H.

This blade was purchased early this year. I used Andro Hexer Grip SFX on both the FH and the BH. Dwell time is excellent, resulting in good spin. However, it’s the control component that I am most fond of.
