  • Thin outer layer
Great blade at a good price. Lightweight blade with small vibrations, allows you too make controllable loops and topspins. The difference between both sides is slightly noticeable. Confortable FL handle, the only thing i didn't like was both outer plies are very thin but i guess that makes it controllable. I suggest always use a fast high quality rubber on the ALL+ side, and experiment all you like with the DEF+ side.

I bought this blade because i was struggling with my control issues which have diminished since i started using this blade. I use Skyline 3-60 on the DEF+ side of the racket but I use it for FH, FX-P on the ALL+ side for BH.

Pros: My BH flicks above the table are now my main weapon, since i couldn't perform this with my previous blade (Tibhar triple carbon OFF++), FH topspins are good but better with not-tacky rubber since they have a lower throw angle

Cons: Not suitable for blocking or chopping with soft rubbers, i guess i should have go for mid and hard ones. Not for the lazy, you need to generate your own power and not rely on the spring effect of hi tech rubbers

I know this blade should be paired with pimples, but I don't know how to play with those yet, maybe in the future and I'll add it to the review.

Overall great product, fun to play with and delivers what it promises: 9/10
