Truly awesome blade for the modern and versatile defensive player! The worlds most successful veneer combination (5-ply allround ) is manufactured with two dampening but elastic outer plies. (Gabon and Anegre), the vibration and the speed of the blade is reduced by increasing the size of the blade by 3 mm, the Senso technology brings maximum dampening effect. The result: an unbelievable control for all defensive shots. A fantastic acceleration for all offensive shots. Pure playing excitement.

This is the blade I'm currently using. The stability is just fantastic. It also generates plenty of spin. And surprisingly, it's easy to drive with too. Personally, I think it pairs really well with pips. I think every chopper should try this at least once.

I used this blade with Skyline 2 and Der Materialspezialist's Specter 1mm. Chopping is very easy and I'd really recommend it to beginner choppers. Depending on your rubber combination, you can get pretty strong with it. However, drives close to the table come out very slow and feel light, so I wouldn't recommend it to attack-style choppers.

This is basically the classic chopping blade.
First off, I like that low-pitched sound that's typical of chopping blades.
Forehand chops and pushes were no problem at all.
But even with pips on my backhand, my backhand chops kept going long off the table,
so that's something to watch out for.
It's just a solid, good blade overall, so I'd recommend it.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I bought the ST (straight handle) version. The blade itself weighed 86g, but with Vega Asia (1.8mm) on the forehand and Feint Long II (extra-thin) on the backhand, the total weight came to 166g. Since the handle is light, the balance point sits toward the blade, so it feels heavier than the actual weight — which ended up being just about right for me.

No problems at all, control is outstanding
<Attacking>
The drive doesn't have much speed, but it has a fair amount of spin — it's slow but carries well. Maybe it's the combination with Vega Asia, but smashing is no problem either.

The ST handle is thinner than I expected; the FL (flared) handle might be better.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

This was the first chopper's blade I bought when I started out as a chopper. I'm currently using the standard Matsushita Koji, and the two are actually quite similar. That said, the Defplay Senso bounces less than the Matsushita Koji.

I've been a chopper for 5 years.
Honestly, I think this is a blade that appeals to just about every chopper. Before committing to an attack-focused blade like the Joo Se-hyuk model or a defense-focused one like the Defplay Classic, I think it's worth using this one first.
If there's one thing to note, it's that the drive takes a bit of a knack. If you've been a defense-focused player, you'll probably be fine, but if you've been more attack-focused, it takes some getting used to.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
