This blade has excellent control and speed. When playing with MX-P rubbers, it provides great forehand and backhand strokes in the neutral zone (XB).

The blade is well-suited for experienced players seeking a combination of control and power.

Great 7 Ply is totally underrated and just as good as any other well-known 7 ply blade. I liked it a lot.

This blade is underrated, and no one seems to have heard of it or wants to know about it. Curious is the right name. This review may be late to save this beast of a blade, as news has come out that it is being discontinued.

The ST handle is one of the best, comparable to the BTF Timo Boll ALC square handle. The speed and flex are really good. The catapult effect is superb, and it is definitely an off blade with good balance, high control, and feel. It is comparable to the Nittaku Acoustic and the Stiga Clipper CR, maybe slightly faster than both. It suits well with medium-hard rubber or even hard rubber.
