  • Top spin
  • Fast
  • Control
I'm using this blade with Skyline TG3-60 on FH and Xiom Vega pro on BH. The blade has good feeling, it is not too stiff and hard, and has longer dwell time, and good control, nice for blocking but fast enough when used for attack and looping. so it is suitable for my playing style, attacking, looping and topspin in close to mid distane from table. It's weight is 88 gram and with rubbers attached on both side to be 194 gram. It's weight is not so light nor heavy. I recommend this blade for topspin players at close to mid distance from table. But according to my a month trial it has disadvantage when used for touch play, my return ball usually high, so I have to train more to return serve and drop shot or short play on the table.

I take back what I said about Ebenholz haha after using Nexy Zealot for quite some time I realized I need speed because Zealot is a pure control blade but lacks the power to kill the ball cause it's all about control. defeating opponents through placement and the really low arc of the ball.

The most prominent feature of this blade is the incredible ball feel. I sanded the NCT coating in my forehand side for more feel cause I hated the loud cracking sound in my forehand and my Hurricane rubber is so hard to glue. When I sanded the fh side of my blade I noticed more feeling a deeper feeling of holding the ball for more spin. The report about the backhand is true at first but when adjusted my backhand was much better as you can see in the video I posted in the post your multiball thread. Another thing I noticed about the blade is the hollow handle making the blade head heavy. Which in turn feels that the blade is part of your hand. The blade pairs very well with Chinese rubbers compared from the blades I owned and adding Tenergy in your bh makes it a truly deadly Chinese-style weapon.

Pros
  • Loop
  • Short Games
  • Anything
Cons
  • BH Drives
  • Nothing Else LOL
Just buy this blade in the PEN Version. First of all, when started using this I got the best feeling. I can do anything. Loop, Powerloops, Power Topspins. Counters are the dream to heavens. Its hard, but has good dwell time. Pair it with T80 in the BH are the best. Still using this blade with my H3 Prov Blue Sponge. My racket becomes the best in my club. I oove this blade better than the Emerald VPS or even the Intensity Carbon and Non-Carbon. This blade is also better than the Rosewood series. Thats all I can review about this amazing blade from Stiga.
