Hello friends!

I’ve been playing with this blade for 6 months. I used to play with blades such as the Butterfly Petr Korbel, Stiga Infinity VPS, DHS PG7, Yinhe 970xx A, and Yinhe V-14 Pro.

  1. Control: I can say that this blade has maximum control. You can put the ball anywhere on the table. It’s better in control than the blades I mentioned. The sweet spot is huge. The ball bounces off the blade for a very long time, making it easy to pick up the reverse spin and block. There is no catapult. You know exactly where your ball will go. However, be aware that you may feel a void in the blade, as if you are playing with a butterfly net, and the ball falls very hard into the racket. This doesn’t bother me, as it gives me total control.

  2. Speed: It’s not an Off+ blade, but a standard Off blade. This is enough to win a point. 90% of players will say that the speed is good.

  3. Rotation: The rotation is good, but not as much as the 970xx A. There are blades that have more spin. A lot depends on the rubbers.

  4. Rubber: I’ve tried different rubbers, and many fit well. I think the best combination is FH - a hybrid of medium hardness, BH - a European tensor. Currently playing TIBHAR K2 and MX-P (47). The hybrid adds rotation, and the tensor makes a great active block.

  5. Results: Some players may find the blade boring because it does everything too right. But I admire the quality of the blade, which can make elements at a high level. This blade is very predictable, with no surprises. I recommend it to any player who is looking for a reliable weapon.

It is a very hard and stiff blade. It gave me a lot of power, especially on my backhand. Unfortunately, it reduced my consistency by a lot, as well as my spin.

Overall, it is a nice blade, but it plays very differently compared to your usual 5-plywood blade or ALC-blades. You will need a long time adjusting to it, if you come from those blades.
