It’s OK at most everything. A decent “jack of all trades” blade.

In an ST handle configuration, it is very light (overly so for my taste).

In my opinion, the touch game is not good with tensor rubbers.

It is a very hard blade to push with.

However, blocking with this blade is amazing. I don’t think I have used another blade that comes close to its blocking prowess.

Speed is average.

Control is average (outside of pushes).

This is a nice looping blade.

This is a great lightweight blade that blocks better than any other blade I have played with (more than 40). Having previously played with the Stradivarius and switched to this, my opponents are now having great difficulty in blocking my attacks, as I am able to generate more spin than with any other blade I have used. It did take a little while to adjust to the greater feel, but having now gotten used to this I will not be changing.

One of the best bargains around if you are a spin-based player. It is also superb at serving, re-looping, and smashes are effective. No one has commented that my shots are less powerful. A great do-it-all blade if you like equipment that gives you feedback through its feel. I use Xiom Vega Europe 2.0mm rubbers on both sides.
