Excellent blade. The feel and control is outstanding; makes you feel fearless when blocking. The speed isn't the fastest, but is more than enough to wallop the ball past your opponent. Mates well with medium tensor rubbers (T80, Razaka 7, Boost TX etc). It is also exceptionally good value, I pick up mine online for 32 Euros!
A slight snag is the softish wood makes it fragile. SPW chips easily and repeated gluing also caused the surface of the blade to splitter on mine. Lacquering the bat and using tape to protect the edges is recommended.
