This blade has a very good control with a great sweet spot. This is reflected in excellent blocking and loops. It is not a very big blade 157x150 this is for me a small draw back. I like long blades. However, it overall performs really great and gives me great confidence when using. It is also rather good in the near field with also good control of under spin short game. Sweet spot is also really good. I that a huge nice wood feeling with a very deep hold. Handle is great for large hands but my hands are sized so that I prefer to sand the wings. The wings are normal sized but I like the increased control and also fit when I have sanded the wings 2-4mm. Build quality was good with nicely sanded edges. I put some varnish for protection as always do on any blade. I used Stiga DNA Hybrid H which give a rather low, not too low, arch (it is the rubber) otherwise I expect a nice arch from this blade. The only potentially weak spot might be smashed which are OK but could be a bit slow but this can be remediated by a fast rubber.
It is not a hard blade but rather have the nice dig in feeling and control.
Durability is also so far, played for more than a year, good. How durable in the long term it is I cannot say having not played with it the whole time.
The blade overall is an Off blade. it is slower than an outer carbon blade but go es more than enough power.
