4 out of 5 rating for Allround Classic Carbon
Tested with classic Srivers, both 2.1
SPEED: Obviously, choosing a blade like this, one is not aiming for a blasting speed. It performs in a decent manner, though. The carbon layers give the wood an extra "tick" of speed.
CONTROL: Great control.
short game: very good feeling, although to play carbon, your hand needs to know what it is doing.
at the table: great topspins bh&fh, outstanding blocking, sweet dropshots.
mid/long distance: need to have a good stroke technique, since this blade itself isn't going to do the work for you - one must really perform complete strokes (don't forget, not a fast wood).
serving: feels a bit stiff (due to carbon?). As I said, the blade "asks the hand to perform", it wants you to concentrate on the hand - thus, you need to have a good control of your hand (!).
OVERALL: Very good blade with great control for little money. Ideal for an all+ player, who likes to have an active control & knows what he is doing (like me ;-), in my youth an off- player (Mazunov off+, Tamca Gergely) on a national level for years, now age 35, playing for fun.). Perhaps, this blade could also be the trainer's choice for children, who want to play TT more seriously.
