All over the speed glue era I played with blades without any synthetic fiber. But when speed glue got banned my preferences changed a lot. I played harder rubbers than before and also my blade became harder and faster.
This blade with the synthetic fiber right under the outer ply fits perfectly to me. It is of course very offensive but I still manage in keeping control of the ball. I like especially the impact of the ball when I have to make a backhand block for example. It feels like I can „ navigate it“ wherever I want. The ball throw is quite high, which provides additional control. And the counterspin is also not difficult. I think this is also a result of the high ball throw and this very special feeling when you hit the ball. It feels like having a „turbo“ in your racket that explodes when playing a topspin.
I played all my carreer with straight handles, so of course I did the same choice here. During the rally I very often change the way how to hold the racket. A straight handle helps a lot for such actions.
