I borrowed a friend's and gave it a test hit.
Forehand: Flextra (medium), Backhand: Orthodox DX
It's an all-around blade where every skill comes out about average.
The speed is a bit below the average for beginner blades, and the spin is about the same as the average beginner blade.
Control is really easy.
It's cheap too, so I'd recommend it to anyone buying their first blade.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

It's on the heavy side for a beginner's blade, but that makes it easier to control, and shots land fine on both forehand and backhand. I think this blade is fine up through beginner and intermediate level. Once you get to an advanced level, you might start to find it lacking.

It's really heavy for a beginner's blade.
Even with lighter rubber, you can still feel the weight.
Performance-wise, it's totally average.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

You can hit normally, and the ball goes in even with a slightly odd stroke.
The sound is a high-pitched "kacon."
The downside is that the blade is heavy.
Other than that, it's perfect.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I'd recommend this to just about anyone. It depends on the rubber you use, but the feel leans a bit on the harder side, so the sound is more of a sharp "kacon" rather than a soft "bon." I think the performance is really good for the price. The maker sells it as an entry-level blade, but I think it's plenty good for intermediate players who've improved a bit too. That said, you'll probably eventually find it lacking, and at that point switching to something like the SK series would be a good move.

I think this is a blade you can recommend to anyone from beginners to intermediate players. Both forehand and backhand shots land consistently. It's very easy to control, has good bounce, and is easy to handle overall. Short game techniques over the table are no problem either. It's reasonably priced, so I'd recommend it to beginners and to anyone who struggles with control.

The other day I borrowed this blade from an acquaintance and tried it out.
It's marketed as a beginner's blade, but I think it would work well for intermediate players too. It's kind of like using a light tension rubber right from the start, if that makes sense?
In any case, I felt like this is a blade that lets you get off to a great start right away! Sorry for the long review.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft
