Was wondering if anyone had any idea how this blade plays since i've heard that it is similar to w968. is it worth picking up?

I have one. Ive never used w968, so im not 100% sure, but I feel Atletico plays a bit differently from HL5 and Bo 2 carbon.

The core seems a bit thicker, it has a bit more of a hefty feel to it, and the throw angle seems a bit straighter. It seems a bit faster overall.

This picture is from ProTT, but you can see the core is a bit thicker than HL5

I think anything. I had chinese rubbers, hybrid rubbers, and regular tensor on it. Nothing seemed out of place.
