The Infinity VPS V - with Diamond Touch is a lightweight 5-ply offensive blade built around two hand-selected middle veneers that are special temperature treated (VPS-technology).

Really easy to use. My backhand shots land well and my forehand power went up too. If you ever get the chance to buy one, you should try it.

Rewriting my review.
I used to pair this with tension rubber, but this time I tried it with Xiang Long.
This combination really clicked for me personally!
With tension rubber the ball tended to feel light, but now it feels heavy.
With tension rubber my pushes tended to run long, but now they land just right.
Also, one distinctive thing is how fast the smashes are.
Paired with a harder rubber, that crisp, snappy hitting style really packs a punch.
Pair it with tacky rubber and the feel gets hard, but for people it clicks with, it's a combination that really clicks.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

The feel is on the hard side. It flexes nicely and generates good speed — it feels really great. In a way, I think this is the ultimate blade.

This blade bounces a lot and gives you plenty of speed. But it's still controllable and easy to use. That said, the sweet spot is narrow.

Infinity VPS V, Chinese-style, with Xiang Long on the forehand and Fastarc G-1 on the backhand, both at max thickness.
I wanted to use Xiang Long and Fastarc G-1 together, so I bought this blade with that combination in mind.
My blade weighed 75g, and even with both rubbers on it came out to 168g total.
The blade itself feels hard, but once I hit with it I could really feel it flex, probably due to the ply thickness.
At first, drives felt like they popped up a bit too much, but not so much that I couldn't correct for it. Flat hitting felt easy, probably because the blade is hard, and personally the backhand was what stood out most to me as easy to hit with. The feel is, I'd say, on the slightly soft side.
The bounce is quite lively for a 5-ply blade, but it's still easy to control, and I especially liked how stops come to a dead stop. In terms of spin on drives, the Evan or Intensity might have the edge since their plies are thinner, but the Infinity is lighter, so I think it's better for rapid-fire shots and short-game technique. The grip is on the thicker side.There aren't many Chinese-penhold 5-ply blades under 80g with a ply thickness under 6mm that still have plenty of bounce, so for penhold players who are stuck choosing a blade, this one isn't too expensive and doesn't fall short in performance either — I'd recommend it.

ahirU96 It's a Chinese penhold

I bought the Chinese-style penhold version after seeing everyone's reviews here.
It's excellent in every way, but the lightness really stands out — mine comes in under 70g.
The ball snaps off it nicely, and it holds the ball when you want it to. A real gem of a blade.
I'm not using it right now, but I'm keeping it carefully to use later in life, once my strength starts to fade.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I put Xiang Long on the forehand.
For forehand drives, when you catch the ball early and get a solid impact, the trajectory — helped along by the Xiang Long — turns into an absolutely nasty, fast shot. But if your timing is even a little late, or you mishit it, the ball can come out flat with no spin or fly long.
As for blocking, both forehand and backhand held up against the opponent's power, letting me absorb the shot and block consistently.
Overall it's a powerful blade, but I'd recommend it more for players who like to attack close to the table.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard
