The blade is constructed with 5-ply carbon and weighs approximately 87g. It features a comfortable flared handle and provides a nice balance.

While it does produce a slightly higher-pitched sound (“pingy”), it remains within an acceptable range. However, the blade does exhibit a somewhat noticeable level of vibration.

Despite its minor shortcomings, the blade is considered a reasonable choice given its affordable price point of around $20. With continued use, the player’s perception of the blade has improved.
