      Player reviews

      Coming back to table tennis after a 25-year break, I was browsing blades at a shop and found that the blade I used back then had become a whole series, so I bought it out of nostalgia. It's been my good partner ever since. The butterfly logo has gotten a lot more stylish - really makes you feel the times have changed, lol.
      Back in the day I remember the blade often breaking from hitting the table, but
      I'm surprised at how tough modern blades are.
      It's built for chopping, so it feels a bit heavy and the feel is on the hard side.
      It has a lot of bounce, so you can go for a one-shot attack! But you do need to be careful when chopping.
      Still, I think my top recommendation is honestly just how cool the handle design looks!

      For intermediate choppers and above, this is a fantastic blade that balances offense and defense really well! It's quite a difficult blade for beginners though, so if you're a beginner, you'll need some courage.

      Player reviews

      It has quite a bit of bounce.
      Drives and smashes get good speed.

      Chops tend to go long, so I don't think it's suited for beginner choppers.
