Hey, I'm using this blade with an Andro Beat rubber on both BH and FH. Let me start off by saying, hitting the ball with this blade feels like slicing through butter. For an off- blade it is really fast. You don't feel the speed difference till you smash then the ball gets sling-shotted because the blade flexes. The only con is that this slight flex opens up the racket angle so you have to close the racket angle or brush the ball more when giving the ball more power. This blade isn't like any I have used before so I felt like I had to relearn my forehand and get a feeling first. I'm guessing the reason there are no reviews of this yet is because this is an amazing blade, but you can just pick it up and start playing with it, you need to adjust to it first. so let me rank in my opinion how this blade ranks up from 1 to 10.*
Chops are 9 out of 10. the blade redirects the energy with little loss and greats spin unless you hold the blade loosely.*
Spin is 10 out of 10 the flexes is amazing for spin and looping.*
Looping is 9.5 out of 10. looping is amazing but you need to feel a feel for the blade first. its shines at mid to short looping. from a longer distance its gets harder to maintain a good speed to spin ratio because spin overpowers speed.*
Speed is an 8.8 the speed is good but not awesome its more for control and long looping rallies.*
control is a 9.2 I'm mixed about this one , smashing hard with this blade the ball has a tenancy to drop or sling shot straight over the table, the flex will throw you off, so speed is great, but consistency will suffer.*
Smashing/hitting 6.8 out of 10 not consistent flex will through u off unless u adjust for the about of flex happing
Smashing with top spin 8.2 out of 10 the ball has so much spin it makes it really hard to respond back the ball likes to jump off the table and, or hug it the the ball stays low.*
Blocking is good 8.6*
short shots 10 out of 10 this blade has really good control.*
Recommended to players looking to overwhelmed opponents with loops or spins. Meant for a player who want to play tactically. If your still offensive and want to keep the ball on the table, strap on an offensive rubber can this blade can do it all.
