Nice blade!

Premium quality blade with OFF- speed. Heavy and stiff. Hard top, but not a very hard feel in general. Features a good classic design without synthetic fibers.

My first blade is the CS. It brings me wonderful feedback on my swings. The control is very outstanding, making it very suitable for beginner and intermediate players.

I have tried the Viscaria Super ALC, Treiber CI OFF, Nittaku Acoustic, and a bunch of 5-layer wooden blades. This blade is always my go-to.

What I like about this blade is the nice dwell time, which gives it a high throw and amazing control. It’s flexy but hard. I have paired it with a Yasaka Rakza Z on the backhand and a Friendship Battle 2 Prov on the forehand.

My level is around 1000 points, where 2500 points is the highest national ranking in Sweden, so I am a developing intermediate player. If you can get a slightly heavier blade than average, making it a little faster (9.0), then this is a complete dream for a two-winged looper.

Comparing it to the Nittaku Acoustic, it is about the same speed level but with a slightly higher throw and better control. When I raise my level, I will probably switch to a Treiber CI OFF, which has almost the same throw angle but a bit more carbon-fiber kick.
