All-wood
I bought this blade along with Vega Pro FH and Super Glanti rubbers. I knew this blade would be slow, so I varnished it and sanded off the excess. I’m a close-to-the-table player with a strong forehand and sometimes twiddle.
Initially, this combination felt a little slow. However, when looping with the forehand, you’ll find it has sufficient speed. Sometimes, for me, it’s inconsistent, not like a 7-ply wood or carbon blade, but it still has ample speed. I need to train to place the ball with speed at the table corners.
I changed the rubber to Hurricane 3 Neo Provincial orange sponge, and the loops are now really loaded. My opponents say that upon landing on their side of the table, the spin of the ball bites the table and accelerates towards them.
As a developing beginner/intermediate player, this blade has significantly improved my feel for the ball. However, the blade’s thin profile is a concern.
I find that I have good control over my shots, and the blade effectively absorbs the impact of fast balls from my opponents. I’m currently using Tibhar Evolution FX-P rubbers on both sides, and I’m really enjoying the combination of the faster rubbers with this slower blade.
While the blade’s quality is undeniably excellent, I’m hesitant to purchase another thin blade in the future. I worry about its potential to break if I accidentally hit the table during play.
Light and extra-slow blade.
The weight and control are perfect. This is the slimmest blade I have ever seen.
Aesthetically, it’s gorgeous, especially if you like black. Great!
Very lightweight!
This blade is excellent for use with long pimples.
To support attacks, it pairs well with a very fast rubber on the other side.
The head thickness is approximately 4mm, and the blade is very light. You might want to consider these factors when choosing rubbers.
I received one weighing 60g, and I was told it was the heaviest they had in stock at the time of my order. The ST handle dimensions (2428100) were satisfactory.
The fiberglass in the blade gives it a rather sharp feeling, or perhaps that’s just my perception. This feeling makes it easier for me to control the ball and gives me confidence to attack, despite it being a defensive blade.
An experienced player can easily attack with this blade.
