Changed to this blade 2 years ago, and I’ve never been happier with a blade. It provides good defense on backhand and good offense with your forehand. At the start, I was using Stiga Boost TS on both sides but recently changed to KTX Extra Tacky. It’s very hard to open with backhand since the blade is already slower on the backhand side. So, a tip is to not use a rubber that’s too slow. It’s very good for blocking and controlling play! But playing offensively is very hard if you don’t use a rubber with a bit more speed.

Best blade for beginners and all-around type players. Good quality.

One of the top blades in its class. Very light weight with max thickness rubbers. Nice transition from a controlled short game to fast loops/hits/counter close/mid distance from the table. The Legend FL handle needs some very light sanding but feels very comfortable. Outstanding with Stiga Boost or Calibra rubbers. A winner from Stiga. The Legend grip feels superb. Recently tried with Hurricane III 3-50 and it produced incredible spin on loops. Of the army of blades I have tested, this one shines as the very best in the ALL+ class.

Update: If you are an intermediate player, pair this blade with Nittaku Renanos Hold for incredible spin. To slow? This combo has the same top end speed of my BTY TBS/Tenergy setup. Great, great feeling Legend FL grip.

Amazing blade for its price. Pretty fast (for me), with good control for spin, loops, etc. Also good for attacking. Paired it with H2 Neo fh and Cream Transcend bh, and my game improved significantly. However, the handle needs sanding. It’s lightweight and well-balanced, making it great for anyone.

Very sharp and precise forehand play with short pips (Friendship 802-40). The blade is excellent at blocking and countering, making it a great choice for aggressive players who use short pips to attack. The blade also excels in short-game play, providing excellent control for backhand blocks and flicks. Additionally, the blade is well-suited for beginners who want to learn the fundamentals of table tennis, as it provides a good balance between speed, control, and spin. Overall, this blade is a great choice for players who want to improve their forehand play and become more aggressive at the table.
