This is a very nice defensive blade. It controls well, and the arylate dampens the ball and allows for good control and speed. I play with Gambler Outlaw on FH, and the speed is good—not super fast, but fast enough. It is relatively light and allows me to move very quickly.

It is lighter and slower than the LQ1 and 2 and has a smaller head size. The quality is very good. For an off-the-table defender wannabe like me, I highly recommend it. However, it may not be hard enough for an LP OX blocking game at the table if your goal is big spin reversal. I think a 2-sided inverted player who wanted control would also be well served by this blade, but not a high-level 2-winged looper.

I have 2 blades that are not sealed and 1 that is lightly sealed. For the above features, this is a definite BUY!
