Prydz (Experience: 6〜10 years) A powerful god-tier 7-ply blade
-
2015/11/03
This is genuinely a great blade.
The grip is about standard thickness and easy to hold. The feel is medium — not too hard, not too soft. It's got decent flight, about average for a 7-ply blade, and the spin is excellent too. You can play a fast, punchy game or lean fully into spin. The arc isn't too high or too low — it comes up just right, so pushes are easy to hit, and power drives produce ridiculous speed while still carrying tons of spin. And on top of all that, it's only a bit over 7,000 yen. The value for money is insane ('Д') — honestly, the performance is on par with a blade in the 10,000+ yen range.
The spin and speed are several levels above even that high-performance, great-value SWAT blade. But there's one drawback: the weight — it's on the heavy side. Still, it's not as bad as the SK7, so it was fine for me.Also, I heard that Oshima switched from a Timo ALC to a Fortius FT to prioritize maneuverability in the short game, but honestly, the short-game handling is just average. With a bounce level like GFT or Rakza, you can stop the ball firmly enough, though. If you're coming from a special-material blade, the short game might feel easier, but I think a 5-ply user switching to this blade will find the short-game handling a bit lacking.
