Overall I feel the performance is high.
I've only hit with tacky rubber so far so I can't say about tension rubbers, but with tacky rubber, the Xiang Long feels easiest for third-ball attacks and counters.
That said, it's tough to use on the backhand.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

In rallies you get good speed, and for serves both short and long serves are easy to produce. But I think drives are hard to put spin on until you get used to it. Control is also hard to manage until you're used to it

It's really light and has a stable feel. On top of that it has speed and power too, so it's easy to attack with. Forehand receives are easy to do. The blocking is pretty solid too. Recommended for players who like to attack close to the table

Gareidia ALC (Experience: １１〜２０ years) Top-tier among ALC blades

This is the best blade I've ever used.
The third-ball-attack drive really has power and I can get a lot of spin on it too — it makes you go "is this really ALC?" The grip is thicker than usual for a Butterfly blade and the blade itself is thick too, which is perfect for generating power.
Blocking is stable as well, so I can fairly recommend it to drive players.The downside though is the control felt a bit iffy — I'd aim for a counter and it wouldn't go in sometimes.
The short game was a bit tricky too — it bounces a lot and the blade is thick so the ball tends to float up, so you need to master short-game drives with this one. In the end it comes down to how you use it and who's using it, but that's the impression I got.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

It's a pretty high-flying blade, and sometimes it feels like the ball is flying off just from the surface, but you get used to it and it's not a problem.
On the forehand, if you put full spin on it you get a heavy ball, and if you hit it more with a flat contact you get a lighter but low drive.
That range of variation is enough to draw mistakes out of your opponent.
It also suits short pips on the backhand pretty well.
I'd recommend it for backhand-short-pips players or drive-crazy, super-attacking types.
Also the grip is thick, so juniors and women players might want to keep that in mind.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch

It has good bounce yet it's still easy to put spin on and easy to control.
It also pairs well with short pips.
However, the grip is thick and the blade itself is quite thick too, so I wouldn't recommend it for people with small hands.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch

Spin bites really well, and I think this is a blade suited to the poly ball era going forward.
I use the FL grip, and it's easy to hold — I'd recommend it to people who play close to the table.
That said, it has a lot of bounce, so long pips users need to be careful or the ball can go long, so I'd recommend it for inverted-on-both-sides drive players.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch
