Front team haste (Experience: ４〜５ years) A spin-focused fiber blade!

This is a comparison with the Ovtcharov Innerforce. First, the Ovtcharov is clearly faster. The maximum amount of spin also feels higher on the Ovtcharov, but the Calderano is easier to actually put spin on. For control, the fiber-material Calderano is better. However, the Calderano's grip area felt really cheap, which was disappointing. Factoring in compatibility with Hurricane rubber too, the Ovtcharov Innerforce is my only choice.

I'd heard it was a fiber blade, but it flies about as much as carbon.
It probably depends on the rubber you pair it with, but the speed is quite high too.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

It's an outer-ply blade, but compared to other outer-ply blades, it keeps the ball on the table better.
The speed comes out nicely too.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I've never felt a blade this easy to swing through.
I've been using the Timo Boll ZLC up to now, so this is a comparison against that - first of all, the ball-holding is great!
It still flies even when paired with a hard rubber!
As for speed, it depends on how you hit, but for flat hits I'd say the Calderano wins. For brushed shots, I'd say the Timo Boll ZLC.
On the forehand, with a soft rubber, the ball occasionally drops on flat hits.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

The bounce is hard to believe for a fiber blade.
That said, it doesn't bounce too much, and the ball-holding is good too.
The short game is incredibly stable as wellOverall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Really great
Hard to mess up with
I'm mainly the type who attacks hard with my forehand on the 2nd and 3rd balls, and once the ball gets short I use spin-heavy backhand short game shots (mainly chiquita and pushes) to build up points.
The Omega VII Tour i50 I use on my forehand tends to fly on a fairly flat trajectory, but with this blade, the ball-holding of the fiber makes it a bit easier to draw an arc and easier to control too. Because of that, even when I swing all out I can still make the ball dip deep into my opponent's court, and the stability and power on the 2nd and 3rd balls both increase at the same time.
I use a tacky rubber on my backhand, so this might not be the best match for someone who wants to hit hard on the backhand too. I go for points using short game shots with mixed sidespin and backspin, but even at slower speed, if you aim your course and add spin, you can definitely still score points with this combination.Side note
XIOM's blade designs are god-tier!!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

One step (Experience: More than ２０ years) A blade with great control

I switched over from the Zhang Jike ALC.
Compared to that, the sense of speed drops a little, but the ball-holding is a bit better and there's a feeling of the ball lifting up.
In particular, with Dignics 05 on the backhand, the Zhang Jike ALC sent the ball on a flat trajectory that caused a lot of net misses, but after switching to this blade, net misses dropped dramatically.
The top ply is on the harder side, so it's easy to put spin on, and it turned out to be a really nice blade where loop drives are easy to control while still generating plenty of spin.
In the short game it doesn't bounce too much either, so stops, pushes, flicks, and chiquitas were all easy to do.
It still flies well even away from the table, so it was a great blade that let me play anywhere from close to the table to far away from it.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
