Xiom Michelangelo

Well, my ST handle of this blade is not as bouncy as it is. Before I bought this blade, I was used to smashing and hitting, but not brushing.

After I bought this blade, it did not suit me. So I tried brushing with this blade, and it finally developed my skill for this. But for players who play with Chinese rubbers, be warned, it is not that suitable, unless your brush is very good.

I have a DHS NEO Hurricane 3 on my forehand. It does not produce any power when you hit it flat. But on the other hand, its brush seems to be faster.

My blade splintered a bit after multiple regluing. So it is recommended that you varnish it. :)

Blade Review

This blade is a good choice for players who focus on consistent ball placement rather than aiming for high-power shots.

The handle provides a smooth transition between backhand and forehand strokes.

If you decide to purchase this blade, it is recommended to pair it with a hard rubber rather than Xiom rubbers, as they tend to be too soft. A combination with two mid-cost rubbers, such as Donic gold, can result in a well-balanced setup.

I would rate this blade as good for an all-around game, offering nice control. It is well-suited for close to mid-distance play. The build quality is superb, and the flared handle provides a comfortable grip.
