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.

Since the balance point is toward the tip, it's really easy to chop with a fast swing that takes advantage of the centrifugal force. As a result, you can produce sharp, biting chops that won't lose to the opponent's power. That centrifugal force also helps when you drive, making it easy to use there too. The bounce is quite suppressed as well, so you can keep your pushes stable while still slicing them aggressively. The feel on contact might be a matter of taste, but overall I think this is an excellent chopping blade that can meet the needs of everyone from beginners to advanced players. One thing to watch out for: the handle is pretty rough when it's brand new, so you might want to sand it down first.

This has pretty much become the standard blade for choppers these days.
The bounce is suppressed and your defensive technique becomes very stable, so
especially for beginners, I'd recommend this blade over "chopping blades that can also attack" like the Matsushita Offensive.That said, there's quite a lot of variation between individual units — some weigh in the 70g range while others are in the high 80g range — so please be careful when choosing yours.

Honestly, I think it's genuinely good, but your drives tend to become spin-heavy, extended-arc drives, which might give you a weird habit and make your drive less consistent... The chopping side is beyond complaint, though. If you're putting on long pips, Desperado, Curl P-4 Soft, or Spike P-2 might be good choices. People say a harder rubber tends to work well with it.

Crazy cut man (Experience: ６〜１０ years) This one's for choppers

The bounce is nicely suppressed and chops land really well!
I tried tacky rubber, G1, and Rakza 7 on this blade — if you want stable chops, go with Rakza 7; if you're all about spin and pure chopping, go with G1; and if you attack a lot, have confidence in your arm, and like the feel of really gripping the ball, go with Skyline 3 or Hurricane 3.
Since the blade doesn't bounce, tacky rubber takes some getting used to. Personally, I'd recommend G1.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Me, whose chopping is no longer stable (Experience: ２〜３ years) Curve drive is amazing!

As chopping blades go, it barely bounces, so shots don't fly long, but with thick rubber it felt like it might bounce a bit too much. That said, it also works for attacking players — short-game drives and chiquitas over the table are stable with it. This blade is actually what helped me finally get the hang of the chiquita.
The price is cheap too, and with light tacky rubber on both sides, it's very light overall — I think a curving drive works best for the attacking side.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

This blade is lightweight,
so you can swing all the way through even without much strength.
Because of that, it's easy to generate spin, and it has some flex too, which gives it good control.
Since the blade itself is light, you can also put a heavier rubber on it.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I used the anatomic grip version.
I had assumed it wouldn't have much bounce, but the blade is actually harder and bouncier than I expected, and it's more stable on attacks than on chops. It holds the ball well so it's easy to control, but the sweet spot feels a bit narrow. The handle is hollow, so it's light.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
