This blade is suitable for beginners. It is slower but offers very good control.

#2 — November 2011

It is a bit heavier than first expected, but that weight allows for strong power plays. While not recommended as a starting blade, it is still a very nice option for more experienced players. One con is that it is a bit slow, which may affect some players’ gameplay.
