It’s a quality inexpensive blade with very good control. However, there’s a pretty strong vibration in the handle when flat hitting, so it’s not for everybody.

Topspin is simple and easy with this blade, but soft rubbers are not well-suited to it. The ball stays in contact with the racket for too long, and the game becomes slower. Topspin is covered by a high trajectory.

I recommend medium-hardness rubber. With it, the game becomes more powerful without losing control.

Bear in mind that the handle is smaller than the standard circumference, so if you have big hands, you may not like this blade.

Overall, it’s a perfect blade for all-around players and beginners for practicing topspin techniques.

Great blade. It offers acceptable speed and good control. During topspins and smashes, some vibrations appear, which helps control your strokes.

The blade’s head is slightly heavier compared to others, but this might be due to the use of heavy rubbers. It seems to work best with soft to medium rubbers.

Upon hitting, a solid click sound is produced.

Good wood for all-around players, economical and resistant.
