Latest reviews

Pros
  • great control
  • carbon (+speed)
Cons
  • a slower blade
Tested with classic Srivers, both 2.1

SPEED: Obviously, choosing a blade like this, one is not aiming for a blasting speed. It performs in a decent manner, though. The carbon layers give the wood an extra "tick" of speed.

CONTROL
: Great control.
short game: very good feeling, although to play carbon, your hand needs to know what it is doing.
at the table: great topspins bh&fh, outstanding blocking, sweet dropshots.
mid/long distance: need to have a good stroke technique, since this blade itself isn't going to do the work for you - one must really perform complete strokes (don't forget, not a fast wood).
serving: feels a bit stiff (due to carbon?). As I said, the blade "asks the
hand to perform", it wants you to concentrate on the hand
- thus, you need to have a good control of your hand (!).

OVERALL
:
Very good blade with great control for little money. Ideal for an all+ player, who likes to have an active control & knows what he is doing (like me ;-), in my youth an off- player (Mazunov off+, Tamca Gergely) on a national level for years, now age 35, playing for fun.). Perhaps, this blade could also be the trainer's choice for children, who want to play TT more seriously.
