I use this with a Chinese penhold, inverted rubber on both sides. My level is intermediate to advanced.
The number one thing I want from a blade is something that "reduces mistakes."
In conclusion, for me this is a good blade that's usable in matches.
Weight: 89g at purchase (86g after sanding down the blade and grip)
It's a 7-ply blade, but the feel is soft, and it feels like the whole blade propels the ball.
*Personally, I consider blades that ring or clank like carbon or hardwood blades to be "hard."
For a 7-ply, the blade thickness and grip width are just right, and it's very good.
It doesn't bounce much on light hits, but with a hard hit you get a decent amount of speed. (Distance is average.)
It's a blade with good ball-holding, so it's easy to let the ball sink into the rubber and carry it, which makes the short game easy.
For spin techniques too, the ball-holding lets you put on spin, resulting in a heavy ball quality.
The feel reminded me of the SWAT and the Allround Evolution.
These days, expensive blades like the ones the pros use get a lot of attention, but
a blade isn't about the price... choose the one that suits you!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I'm using a slightly lighter-than-standard one.
The only 7-plies I've hit with are the Clipper Wood, SWAT, WG7, Legato, and Dyna 7, but compared to those, this one grabs the ball the most. The speed is a bit inferior to other 7-plies, so it's not great for meet-shots or flicks. The maker's blurb says it's for power play, but I think it's better interpreted as "spin makes the ball quality heavy, which translates into power."
For the short game — chiquitas, pushes, and so on — it's easy to put spin on, and when I tried chopping on receive, it stayed stable and cut sharply... so it also seems usable as an OFF-leaning all-rounder. That said, despite not flying much, blocks are prone to popping up, so it's not exactly easy across the board defensively either. The feel and sound of the ball aren't exactly exhilarating — unless you really swing all the way through, the whole blade tends to resonate with a dull thud. I think a hard tension rubber or a tacky rubber suits it well.
There are three advantages. First, the sweet spot is wide, which reduces mishits on attacking shots. Second, it's easy to put spin on the ball (serves cut sharply too). Third, the grip is easy to hold (the bottom is thick, but it's narrowed in the middle for a good fit). Also, despite the understated color scheme, the light-blue accent point gives it a pop, and I thought it was a good design you won't get tired of.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

The ball-holding is really good and the feel is soft, so it's a blade that gives you a sense of stability.
It also generates decent power, so for the price, the performance and value for money are quite high.I play with short pips on my backhand and tried this looking for an easy-to-use 7-ply blade, but honestly, hitting flat shots felt a bit off, combined with the distinctive "poko-poko" ball-holding feel.
If I were to recommend it, I'd say it's good as a second blade for an inverted-on-both-sides drive player who already has their basics down.
It's also got a bit of weight to it, so it might be good for junior high boys.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
