It bounces more than you'd expect, so it's great for beginner-to-intermediate players who want exhilarating rallies, or for intermediate-and-up players looking for a racket with high control!

I'd assumed this would be a blade with poor bounce, but after using it, the bounce is actually quite good, which left a good impression. It doesn't quite blow through for a winner in one shot, but the rebound is just right.
I think its biggest strength is how easy it is to generate spin. Being light also makes rapid-fire drives easy, and it's easy to put sidespin on the ball too, so it should suit players who like to attack with spin. Overall, I don't think there's anything it's bad at in the short game either. The downside of being light, though, is that blocks are weak against a hard-hit ball from the opponent.
Control is good too, so it's a strong blade for attacking with placement using speed or loop drives. Image-wise, it's kind of like a lighter Korbel. It doesn't have much reach, so it suits close-to-the-table to mid-distance play.
I think tacky rubber would work fine too, but given the bounce, I'd recommend a spin-oriented tension rubber. A really good blade.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

For me, the bounce on this blade was just right.
I think it'd be a good pick if you like the color green.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

The listing says spin 10-11 and speed 10-11, but for me it was really great. It gets plenty of spin! It makes a nice high-pitched sound off the ball. I think it pairs well with a harder rubber!!! Also, it's light, so even paired with a heavier rubber it doesn't get too heavy, so you can swing all the way through! Anyway, I'd love for beginners to intermediate players to give this a try!
Thanks for reading...
