Flying into a rage (Experience: ６〜１０ years)

Used this back in my inverted-rubber-both-sides, drive-heavy days.
The feel is hard, and it suits players who do mid-distance topspin drives paired with a soft tension rubber.The power on the topspin drive is more than enough, but
it struggled with serves and the short game, and this blade made me realize all over again that I just don't like hard blades.
I was also trying a Timo Boll ZLF at the same time, and I felt that one had a better balance of spin and power — it was easier to use.That said, maybe because I got a lighter one, personally I found this easier to use than the Korbel SK7.

I've got Tenergy 80 on both sides.
The first thing I noticed when I hit with it was that it's hard and has a lot of bounce. All 7 plies are on the harder side, so control is tricky, but the speed is top-class among 7-ply blades.
The feel reminded me of the SK7a, but the W7 is way lighter.
If I had to name one weakness of the W7, it's that control gets really hard once you put a hard rubber on it. The SK7a is the same way
the blade itself is so hard that a hard rubber makes it tough to control. Even with Tenergy 80 it was a bit difficult. A 64FX might work better.
In conclusion, I think this one suits people who like soft rubbers and hard blades, or advanced players who already have good control. Hope this helps.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard

Bounce, flight, and speed are all more than satisfactory. The feel of the ball is extremely hard, and it really jars your hand. That said, it feels like it's hard to put spin on things like pushes and serves. I'd recommend it for people who are good at rallies, and players who play from mid-distance.

This was a gift. A senior teammate gave it to me. I'd say it has a pretty hard feel even among 7-ply blades. Because of that, I'd tell you not to expect much from spin-based play... that's what I'd like to say, but serves are actually where I could put a decent amount of spin on! You have to graze the ball thin to get spin, but when you do, it really grips! That said, with pushes and topspin drives, grazing the ball that thin is a difficult technique, so getting full spin is basically impossible! (though that might just be my own lack of skill). The weight is also considerable — putting Rakza X and Rakza 9 on it made it terrifyingly heavy. It's a blade that's hard to handle, so I feel like it's more suited to advanced players than beginners or intermediate players like me. Though no pro players use it at all, lol♪

You can't really put much spin on the ball!
Because it's too stiff, control and the feel of the ball are way too difficult.
The speed was pretty fast though!
Personally, I'd say it's hard to useOverall Speed Spin Control Touch

It has tremendous destructive power.
The way topspin drives bite the ball and how easy flicks are is especially good.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch
