NO.1 table tennis review site

Despite being marketed for its offensive power, it doesn't actually produce much speed, and its chopping performance is naturally inferior to other brands' blades. I'd only recommend it to people already using something like the One Q or Glass Deiks.

Maybe it's the wood used, but the surface feels rough and looks a bit cheap. Among chopping blades, it has good bounce and is easy to swing through, so it's strong on the offensive side. On the defensive side, though — push accuracy, chop precision, and so on — I feel other brands do better. The feel is unusual enough that it often feels a bit off, and it doesn't really have that "glued to your hand" sensation. There aren't many shots that fully satisfy me in terms of how sharp the chops bite or how much spin you get on attacking drives. As for the grip, it's easy to hold but on the thin side, so I can't recommend it to anyone who wants a really firm grip.

I've been using this for about a week now.

Forehand light hits:
it's light, so it's easy to swing through,
and it still has a decent amount of bounce,
so it's easy to use.
The forehand drive has that easy-to-hit feel typical of recent chopping blades.
You get decent speed and it's easy to put spin on the ball.
That said, the ball is on the lighter side, so I ended up getting countered a lot more.
If you can't put it away in one shot it might be tough.
But it's easy to hit multiple drives in a row, so it probably depends on your style.

Backhand light hits and drives feel about the same as the forehand.

As for chopping, control is good on both forehand and backhand.
Even with Glass D.Tecs on it, it was easy to work with.
But maybe because I normally use Joo Se-hyuk rubber, it's hard to put really deep cuts on my chops.
Pushes are also a bit hard to slice, too.

I'd recommend this to someone who plays about 60% offense, 40% defense —
since it's easy to swing through, it's great for players who like to attack with combos
and who are good at grinding with chops.

For a chopping blade, this one has surprisingly good speed.

I'm the type who smashes anything that comes back even slightly high, so the Stratus Power Defense — which lets you put away a winner in one shot — suits me perfectly.

Of course, it's also easy to control your chops, so it should work fine for players who like to grind out points with chops too.

Surprisingly, it pairs really nicely with Tenergy 05 — I'm satisfied!
