I think the performance really depends on the skill and playstyle of whoever is using it.
For beginners it might feel a bit heavy, but it's a blade that makes it easy to learn how to get the ball on the table and pick up the basic techniques,
and for intermediate and above, it's a blade that responds to your level of skill.
It's the type of blade where you have to generate your own power to send the ball, so compared to special-material blades it might feel like it lacks impact, but it doesn't discriminate between rubbers or players.
When you first try it, you might not feel its appeal right away, but at some point you suddenly notice how good it is - it has that reassuring, "coming home" kind of feeling.
If I had to name a downside, it would be that, compared to special-material blades or more recent blades, it's harder to get speed and distance on the ball.
That said, at this price, I think it's well worth picking up at least once.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I think this is a blade that shows your true skill level directly. The bounce is on the modest side and the blade is relatively thin, so it's easy to put spin on. It's on the soft side, but I really like how you get a bit of feedback in your hand on hard hits. There might be some individual variation, but my Korbel is around 90g, on the heavier side, but it's solidly built and I think it's a great blade that really lets the rubber's performance shine through.

It's easy to put spin on and you get decent speed too.
It's also quite heavy. I'd recommend hitting the gym and building some muscle before using this one.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Table Tennis of persimmon peak (Experience: ２〜３ years) Is this the blade that suits me!?

I've used carbon blades and 7-ply blades before, and I never expected to get this level of usability at such a low price. It's listed in the catalog as mid-fast, but with a fast-release rubber on my forehand, it felt more like a full "fast" blade. The feel is mild too. The only downside is the weight - with max thickness rubber on both sides, it easily goes over 200g. But in exchange, the ball has real weight behind it... It also doesn't seem picky about rubber. Might be fun to try tacky rubber on it too... Definitely give it a try ＼＼٩( 'ω' )و ／／

I used this right after my first blade, so it felt a bit heavy to me. But the feel is good, and I think it works with pretty much any rubber.

You can tell from how long it's been in the catalog lineup that it has a lot of fans, and the ball-holding feel is really good - good enough that I almost wished it had a bit more bounce. For a Butterfly blade, I think it flexes more than you'd expect.
The best part of this blade, though, is probably how easily it brings out the performance of whatever rubber you put on it.I've used it regularly myself since I was a beginner, but once the non-glue era started, I wanted more bounce from the blade itself, so I switched.
That said, if you put something like Tenergy on it, the lack of bounce is solved to some extent, so you can use the good ball-holding to hit topspin drives and attack with placement and change of pace.However, as other reviews mention, a lot of these weigh over 90g relative to how much bounce they have, so if you put heavy rubbers on it, it ends up as heavy as a 7-ply blade.

It's really easy to use and the control is great too. On top of that, it has plenty of speed and spin. Any rubber you put on it works just fine. The only downside is that the blade itself is heavy. So if you buy it online, you might end up with a really heavy one, and I'd recommend buying by specified weight or getting it in person at a shop. That said, I don't think there's another blade this cheap with such high performance and value for money, so I can definitely recommend it to everyone. Just trust me on this one and give it a try.
