I have a V1. Due to the void handle, the weight is on the head. Coming from a premade bat and being an inexperienced player, I needed a couple of weeks to get used to its unbalanced feeling. But, overall, IMO it's a very good blade, really recommendable. I'm currently using a faster inner carbon as my main blade, but I frequently take my V1 and still enjoy it. Mine is equipped with Rozena and Mercury 2, a good combination for a recreational player like me, but I guess that it is not the best blade for rubbers with firmer sponges. If you are planning to use heavy rubbers, I would go for the classic version, unless of course you prefer to feel the weight on the tip.
