K-4 is okay, but it’s not exceptional and is a bit too slow for aggressive play. However, it provides excellent dwell time due to its soft outer layer. The rubbers that best complement this blade, in my opinion, are XIOM OmegaVI Europe max (forehand) and ACUDA-2 max (backhand). Additionally, Roxon500 2 mm and Roxon450 MAX performed well on the forehand.

Said to be a clone of TBS, but I’ve never played with a TBS, so I can’t say for sure. It provides good speed while remaining controllable. The feel is fairly soft. I own two of these blades, and the flare handles vary significantly in size. One is quite beefy (likely around 88g), while the other is rather slim (probably about 86g). Overall, it’s a very solid blade.

Good blade for an all-around player. The speed rating is overrated; it’s too slow for me. I’ve tried many rubbers on it, and the best results I had were with ROXON500 and HEXER+. I’m currently playing with T-8.
