I've just had a very short training session - Managed to get a little bit on film so I'm uploading as I type (slow internet here!)
Some more feedback for anyone following.......
This is probably more aimed at the rubbers than the blade - I think the blade will suit anyone who enjoys playing with a OFF Carbon blade.
One thing to note is that the handle of the VSU is long - It's perfect for me, and when I tried a TB ALC, the handle felt short!
Regarding the rubbers........
I'm not enjoying it on the BH as much as I would like - The ball has a tendency to slide off a little given how hard the sponge is. I certainly need to improve the consistent spinny action of my backhand, as I'll go for the drive too often (when it really needs to be spun).
But.... Boy are these rubbers spinny!
You'll see from the video that my playing partner was struggling to keep the blocks on the table - To be fair, she hasn't played all summer (usually the best blocker I know), but I also think the sheer amount of spin you can generate from MX-S is really hard to handle.
In a perfect world, I'd like the sponge to be a little softer, to give it some more dwell time on the back hand - I'm going to stick with it for now, but I may try some others when I switch.
I love it on the forehand - It's in-between H3 and T05 - The counter loop ability is wonderful, and the feel is very nice on the blocks - Extremely solid when paired with the VSU.
I've got some slo mo in the video - Not that you can really see a lot!
Anyway, I'll post it here shortly.
