I’ve been using this blade for 2 months, but I don’t really know its characteristics because there was no manufacturer’s description on the box. I don’t even know the materials that were used on this blade.

For me, it’s not a really good blade because it’s quite heavy, and you can feel a lot of vibration every time you hit the ball. Additionally, the wings are too wide, which gives me a hard time whenever I use my backhand.
