Used by Wang Hao during the V.O.C-Free times, composed of 5-ply with single fiberglass-carbon core inside. It brings outstanding two-side loop spinning capacity and keeps the consistent control and attacking ability.

No logo is kind of annoying, right? Lol. Setting that aside, it's expensive, but the value for money is great. It's not exactly in the "easy to use" category, but considering the power, the spin is fantastic too!

It felt a bit hard, and since the blade was only about 5.8mm thick, I didn't feel much flex, which made it hard to hit with.
I normally use the Innerforce Blue.
I think there's some variation from blade to blade, but this might be easy to use for players who like a harder racket.
It paired excellently with tacky rubber.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

With the glass fiber sandwiched in the center, if you swing with the image of twisting the racket up toward the tip, I feel like you can generate really heavy spin.
If you swing with it the way you would a normal outer or inner carbon blade, I think it'll feel like it doesn't fly well.
As for ball speed, unless you swing in a way that sends a vibration through the center, or use a full power swing, the ball tends to drop short.
It pairs great with tacky rubbers, but unless you can relax your arm and still produce a reasonably sharp swing, I don't think you can drive the ball away from the table. For tension rubbers, ones with a lot of bounce seem to suit it well.
So unless you can hit the way Wang Hao does — using power for the ball and letting the racket generate the spin — you might not be able to bring out this racket's full potential.
As for blocking, the glass fiber in the center absorbs a good chunk of the incoming power with a kind of "boiiing" flex, so it feels easy.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard

The spin feels good, and it really does pair well with Hurricane rubber. Might be a bit more suited to advanced players.

This is the model that Wang Hao — famous for his amazing backhand technique — used at the end of his career. My first impression after hitting with it was honestly, "wow... this is amazing." Specifically, it pairs incredibly well with tacky rubber! For chop-blocking and similar shots, it felt like I was grabbing the ball and throwing it, with amazing stability. As for the backhand side everyone's curious about, it's apparently designed for Wang Hao's unique grip, so the grip is flat and it's easy to get the right blade angle. It also pairs well with tension rubbers, and out of all the penholds I've used, this was by far the easiest for backhand attacks. It's a bit pricey, but I don't think you'll regret buying this racket!

This pairs amazingly well with long pips or anti-spin rubber.
I play the classic long-pips-on-both-sides style, so I want to give this a proper review.
This blade really brings out the power when you're using long pips or anti-spin.
Hit it and it flies, stop it and it stops dead - it's a perfect blade. It really feels like it was made specifically for long pips.
By the way, this is what I'm currently using.
The one issue, though, is that honestly this blade doesn't pair well with inverted rubber like tension or tacky rubber, so I'd avoid using it that way.
That said, for long pips or anti-spin it's got great power, and pretty much anything you hit goes in - nothing to complain about there.
It's also cheap, so if you use long pips or anti-spin, please give it a try.
Also, if you use inverted rubber, I wouldn't recommend this one.
It'll just be a waste of money (lol)
That's all from me.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

For someone like me who likes that feedback you feel right in your hand, this was a perfect fit!
It's easy to put spin on your topspin drives and even the blade itself gives the ball a bit of an arc, so to make up for the speed I tried putting on a Skyline NEO3 - and honestly, it's not an exaggeration to say this blade really brings out the best in Chinese rubber. Also, the blade is cut a bit longer than usual, so backhand strokes and blocks are really easy to do.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch
