An amazing product for the price! It has good quality cypress wood with the classic long head and handle. This blade is perfect for all-around and offensive play.

I used this blade for about 5 years with Acuda S3. I remember having good control and touch with this setup. I could also finish the point both at and away from the table.

I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a well-balanced J-pen.

My first ever table tennis blade. I used to use tons of speed glue with either Midshid or Mark V GPS. Nowadays, I use a Calibra LT Plus.

The blade has a really high throw, which makes blocks tricky. However, I think it excels at doing loop drives.

The blade is of high quality. After many years, it still looks like new.

This blade is like an offensive Japanese penhold version of the Extra blade, making it extremely balanced. It offers good control, a soft feel for touch shots, and some flex for creating loops. It’s a solid choice for loopers and drivers who want to dominate their opponents on the court.
