I have had this blade for two years and it is not suitable for a middle player. The blade is very weak (wooden tissue) and the handle is not good. After two years, it broke and had to be repaired. Overall, this is a weak blade and I do not recommend it for any player. Thanks.

It is a very good blade for intermediate players, like those in varsities. It gives good control and speed.

I’ve been using this blade for about 2 weeks now. I’ve noticed that it gives much vibrations when hitting. It has a springy sound. This is quite a bouncy paddle, and sometimes the vibrations help me control my loop drives.

The primary reason why I bought it was for its price—it’s very cheap. Although in my opinion, players should go for an easier blade to handle, as the s3000 will take getting used to.

All in all, it is a fast offensive blade with a small sweet spot and occasionally irritating due to its springiness.
