This blade is utterly fast. I have a lot of trouble keeping my topspin on the table. Dont even have to use my body.

I paired it with Vega Asia Fh Vega Europe BH.
It has a medium throw. Using Vega Asia on Cho Tokusen gave me a slightly higher arc.
The speed i think is a bit too much. I have some trouble creating spin on the ball. Maybe with a grippier rubber like T05, Rakza X, Fastarc G-1 it becomes easier.
Spin is ok, nothing special. Despite being 1ply hinoki there isnt that much of dwell.Unless is far from table is difficult to generate huge spin.
ITS THICK. 11mm cpen blade, not counting rubbers. unless you have very big hands you gonna have a bad time...
RPB is difficult. The sweetspot on the rpb is little to none, very difficult to perform a precise shot, but if you do is very rewarding. Huge spin and low arc.
Heavy!! my setup is 213grms. Im a big guy and i still needed about a week to wrists get used to.
