It bounces a lot for a 5-ply blade. Of course, spin comes on well too. The feel isn't bad either — it's a softer feel for a Timo Boll series blade. I thought it could be a bit harder, but since spin is easy to put on, I figure this works too ♪ There's really no weakness to speak of. That said, it's not that well suited to high-level play. It suits beginner and intermediate players, but advanced players will probably find it lacking. Also, I said it bounces, but that doesn't mean it produces a lot of speed. Overall, my impression is a blade with no real quirks that works with any rubber.

I bought this in high school and now use it occasionally for multi-ball feeding.
It's stable, but I do feel like it's lacking in power and speed.
Personally, the feel is kind of a dull thud, so I'm not a huge fan of it.
I still use it for feeding balls though, since it gives a reasonable amount of distance and spin.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Light and easy to swing. It's a 5-ply wood blade with no carbon, yet it still has this much bounce, so the power on topspin drives is nothing to complain about. Serving is especially easy with it.

Pairing this with long pips is amazing. I thought it might not suit an offense-oriented blade, but that wasn't the case at all. If you want to play offense on the forehand at least and an all-round style on the backhand, I think you'll like it.

I'd recommend this blade to players from beginner to intermediate level. The price is reasonable too, and overall it's a very easy-to-use blade.
