This blade excels for loopers. As a 2200-rated looper off both wings, I previously used the Ma Lin Extra Offensive before experimenting with faster blades. Many of the blades I tested incorporated carbon, such as the T11, but found they lacked the necessary flex for consistent looping.

Utilising Tenergy 05 and Yasaka Rakza 7 in max, both rubbers harness the full potential of this blade. It provides commendable control during serves and returns, while offering ample speed for looping from both near and far from the table. Blocking is effortless with this blade.

Despite its slow pace, this blade vibrates significantly. While I appreciate this feedback, some players may prefer a firmer feel. Hitters may not find this blade suitable due to its flexibility, as it is unequivocally designed for looping.
