Even among lightweight blades, this one feels really stable
Super easy to use. The grip looks really cool. Plus the grip doesn't get dirty. It's a blade you can use until it literally breaks. It's a really good blade and I wish it got more attention.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

It feels super light in the hand
The feel is soft and easy to hit with.
Defensive shots like blocking are a bit tricky, but it's an attack-friendly blade so I'm satisfied.
That said, if you don't put on side tape, the balsa core is fragile and it'll get chewed up.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Light and easy to swing. Great for both attack and defense. I think it'd go well with pretty much any rubber.

Super light! Along with that, speed and spin drop off a bit. The bounce is also on the lower side. Since the wood flexes, you can still get some spin on the ball. Recommended for people who want to put a heavy rubber on it and swing all the way through! The shot feels a bit vibration-heavy in your hand!

This blade has glass fiber in it, so it bounces well when you want it to.
That said, it's hard to handle for people who can't control their power.
Also, since it's a light blade, you can take a full, all-out swing even with a heavier rubber on it, and that becomes a real weapon.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Light. Just really light! Light enough that you'd think it was styrofoam (makes me wonder just how heavy a lead-weighted blade I'd been using until now...). The description says it's an all-round blade, but it's especially easy to use for the short game through close-to-the-table play.

It's so light that you barely feel any vibration at all when you hit the ball.
Until I got used to it, I couldn't even tell if I'd made proper contact.
I have short pips on both sides, which makes it even lighter — the weight is an insane 135g!!
I bought it as a backup racket,
and it was so light I couldn't hit anything properly at first,
but I was able to produce solid knuckle balls with itOverall Speed Spin Control Touch
