Decided to try out an all-wood blade such as this. When coming from ALC blades such as the H301 series, this takes some adjustment. I appreciated the power of this racket. Behind the table a few meters back, it was easy to return the ball. The blade felt very linear in drives and quite predictable. Blocking and returning loop drives with a slap were my highlights of this blade. I feel it was due to my unfamiliarity with this blade that I wasn’t able to produce the tricky power forehand drives that usually win me points. The power of this blade I feel is comparably similar to the Goiabao 5, which I believe is fast. G5 is still a harder and stiffer blade. I should have used TG3 BS instead of TG2 BS for better looping and confidence. Touch game is dependent on your feel. It’s easy to pop the ball too high. Lifting underspin with topspin requires quality brushing.

Beautiful piece otherwise. The price for quality is amazing. Yasaka would sell this for $20-$30 more.

Great blade. Good speed and control. It has a good vibration, which to me is very good, but it depends on the player. Before I used Stiga Infinity VPS and ZJK ALC. Faster, bouncier, and a little bit softer than Infinity, and very good far from the table. Similar with ZJK ALC in terms of speed and control, but a little harder. A great choice for people who like fast wood blades. And for 40 USD for this pick, it’s awesome. Nice finishing and very comfortable FL handle.

The blade is good for blocking and has a comfortable FL handle. It produces a high-pitched sound on contact. The speed ratings on this site seem exaggerated to me. The blade is stiff and hard, but unlike the stiff and hard Xiom Ice Cream AZX, it does not translate into high speed or control. I am using it with DHS Hurricane 3 Neo provincial blue sponge on the forehand and DHS G888 on the backhand.
