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 blade has some really extreme characteristics, honestly. My first impression was that it felt kind of cheap, like a toy — no sense of quality at all (lol).
The handle is hollow, and the blade itself is made of a soft wood.
You can really feel the concept behind it: keep it light and suppress the bounce. It's the kind of blade where even a beginner can tell how much performance changes depending on what you put on it, even with the same rubber. It's easy to get spin and it holds back hard hits — this really is "the chopper's blade" in one sentence. If you're aiming to be a grinding, hang-in-there type of chopper, I think this blade is great.
That said, I personally can't get into the feel on contact (it's kind of a dull "poko-poko" feeling).Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft

This blade has a suppressed bounce and feels very stable. The handle is hollow, so it's light and easy to swing all the way through.
Because it's easy to swing through, it's also easy to get spin on the ball. If you pair it with a harder rubber, you can expect decent speed too.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Nice one!
For rubbers I used Yinhe Sun PRO (extra-thin, with sponge) on the forehand and Sukyura pre-glued base 0.5mm on the backhand. My impression is that the feel is quite hard. Blocks stop the ball really well — so well that it doesn't feel like it'll fly over lol. Pushes and similar shots come out with decent speed. Other people said the attacking side lacks power, but maybe it's the rubber — I got plenty of speed and spin. I don't think you'll regret buying it!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

If you're a chopper, I think you should definitely try this one. You can chop with great stability, so I'd recommend it to defense-focused choppers as well as attack-focused choppers. It's not really suited for attacking, but it works well for beginner, intermediate, and advanced chopping players alike.

The speed isn't great, but it's easy to chop with, and if you put an offensive rubber on it, the topspin drive is easy too.

It uses the Senso system, and since the handle is hollow, the weight balance shifts toward the tip.
This creates more centrifugal force than the blade's actual weight would suggest, making it possible to chop with real bite.
The chopping feel was stable on both forehand and backhand. When chopping with pips, though, it works better if you don't put in too much force — just let the ball ride on the rubber and slice it, which gives you a sharper, more stable chop.
The topspin drive isn't fast, but it has decent power and can work as one of your scoring options.
Overall, I'd say this is best suited for someone who chops as their main game and mixes in the occasional drive to create chances.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I've really tried all kinds of blades, but in the end my go-to blade has settled on this Def Play Senzo. I can't recommend pairing it with a soft rubber — it ends up too flexible and mushy, in an unpleasant way, and you lose both spin and bounce. On the flip side though, pairing it with a harder rubber solves the weight issue, makes up for the lack of bounce, and gives you good spin — it's a fantastic match! For long pips, I'd recommend Vega Asia or Rasant Power Grip, and for pips, Curl P-4 or P-1, Octopus, or Spike P-2!
