For me, this blade is OFF, not OFF+. It offers amazing control and is fantastic for looping, but it lacks the edge to consistently put the ball away. I was using the Xiom Sigma 1 Pro and Xiom Omega 4 Elite.

Despite being a 9-ply blade with 4 carbon layers and hard outer layers, this blade surprisingly offers a long dwell time.

When hitting, the arc is relatively low, but when topspinning, the ball trajectory becomes significantly higher.

I have used this blade with rubbers of varying hardness and found that it pairs best with soft rubbers that produce a high throw angle, such as Bluefire M3 or 03JP.

This is a true off+ blade. When using the same rubber combination, it outperforms all the other off blade I have tried, including the Tibhar Stratus CB, TBS, Timo Boll ALC, WSC, and Viscaria.

I just got this blade and played with it for the first time for about an hour. I have to agree with everyone who has commented on the build quality. This is a beautifully crafted blade, and although it is the most aggressive blade I have used to date, it was extremely easy to make the adjustment. Andro Rasant max on the forehand, and Rakza 7 soft 2.0 on the backhand. Everything I could ask for, speed, control, touch, and the Rasant gives people fits.
