I was very impressed with this blade. I paired it with a Friendship 755 Mystery III in 0.8mm and a DHS Tinarc 5 in 2.1mm. With the LP, chopping, pushing, and hitting were all very good as the blade’s speed was low and its control felt high. When hitting and looping relatively close to the table with the inverted rubber, the ease of use and speed were evident. I could easily win points with it. I’ve never used a defensive blade like this, one that has it all.

Granted, the handle is a little short and the head size is almost normal, but for me, it performed perfectly.

Update: The flexibility and thinness of the blade can make very hard shots such as drives quite unpredictable. Therefore, be careful when applying power and apply spin as well to keep the ball on the table.
