I have seen that you disliked the paddle yet wanted to give my opinion about it.
The septear lead is a light blade which was the reason why i chose it. The feeling and control is very close to perfect. The blade is very unpredictable and has to be paired with hard degree thick rubbers to make up a decent setup. The thing I hate most is the handle , it s extremely thin and me having larger than average hands have a lot of trouble having a good hold of the handle at rallies. So beware large hands , go with something else
I found the power lacking and spin good but again lacks power. I paired it with G1 and Rasander47. Prob would go thicker and more aggressive rubbers once i decide if I would like to stay with it.

Spotted this blade discounted on T11 unfortunately don't know anyone who has this setup. Been playing with a modern Euro Butterfly Petr Korbel for 1 year and a half and have made some marginal gains in technique. Looking for a new blade as the heavy weight of the Korbel, lack of power away from the table and the condition - ply is falling off around the edges - has become an issue. Tried a clubmates Xiom Strato which was great fun but too much of a beast to tame. However, loved the Strato's (Hinoki) feel and am now tempted by the Septear Lead. Appreciate any advice, I'm a reasonable UK Division 2 standard; FH loop attack and working on making my BH more aggressive. Cheers.
