This was the first blade I used when I switched from single-sided penhold looper to inverted rubber on both sides.
Some units weigh in the low 70g range, even down to the 60g range, so it's very light and lets you pair it with whatever rubber you like.
It also holds the ball well and is easy to control.
My only complaint would be that the power on hard hits and smashes leaves something to be desired.
I can confidently recommend it to people wanting to learn the backhand technique, or beginners moving into penhold with a Chinese-style grip.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

It's soft and easy to put spin on. When you bounce the ball on it, it has a kind of hollow, poc-poc sound. The top ply tends to peel, so it's a good idea to coat it with a blade protector. The handle is on the thin side, with a cross-section closer to round than oval. This is the type of blade where the rubber does the work of sending the ball, not the blade's own power.

Mine weighed 69g for just the blade when I bought it. Total weight with rubber on was 147g.
That said, the forehand rubber was medium thickness and the backhand was extra-thin.
The bounce is about medium, but that gives it good control. I think the rubber can cover for the bounce.
The feel is also about medium, easy to handle, and easy to put spin on.
It's light overall, so switching from forehand to backhand is easy, and the backhand side is easy to use too.
Good control, and if we're talking ease of use, I think it's the number one Chinese penhold blade.
If it had a slightly bouncier rubber so the overall weight could be kept down, I think it would be an even better setup.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard
