This blade offers a pleasant feel, slow speed, and exceptional control. It is ideally suited for classic defense strategies while also allowing for occasional attacks. Its affordability makes it a great value for money.

Soft feel, not too slow. Enough power for finishing smashes and spin-drive shots. Very good balance between handle and blade. I use it for combination ox long pips (Blitzschlag) forehand and thin fast classic rubber (Nittaku Hammond 1.4). Control is very good, especially for chopping mid-distance from the table, and it is also good for short play near the table. It is also possible to attack undercut incoming balls. I don’t know why it is so cheap, because I have tried a few expensive defensive blades, but this one suits me the most. Recommended for modern defense players who mostly play chop and block with occasional attack.

This blade may seem slow, but when I put a grip S Europe on the forehand and medium pips on the backhand, everything fell into place. I used 1.3 mm of thickness on the medium pips, which made my backhand very powerful and controllable. I was amazed at the speed this blade can produce with the proper rubber.
