Unlike Japanese penhold blades, this is a 5-ply blade, so the ball comes off quite fast. Because of that, you're less affected by your opponent's spin — definitely worth it for power players or anyone confident in their reflexes!

Meeting the ball and blocking feel a bit hard, but interestingly, countering and driving feel soft.
This time I put JOOLA Rhyzm Tec max on the forehand.
It seems to pair well with this blade.
This blade makes it easy to produce sharp, low third-ball shots, and it's easy to arc the ball on mid-distance topspin drives.
The ball release is also incredibly well balanced — when countering, the ball leaves fast and comes out heavy and quick, but when driving, it somehow feels like the ball stays on the blade longer... how does it manage to do both...
On top of that, it's easy to stop blocks short, and easy to hit short counters too...
Every technique is easy to pull off, so I can recommend it for anyone moving up from a 5-ply blade in search of more power.
For this blade, I think slightly softer rubbers like JOOLA Rhyzm Tec, or andro Rasant Turbo or Rasant Grip, would suit it well.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Speed, spin, and control are all well matched. Hitting topspin drives with this feels really great. It's also great for countering. You do need a fair amount of muscle for it, I think. On the other hand, the feel is a bit iffy since the blade is quite hard. I'm also working on adding backhand attacks.

Even though it's a Chinese-style penhold, it's got some thickness to it, so it's perfect for one-sided power play.
It's especially good for topspin drives and the short game.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch

This blade can easily produce the kind of "heavy ball" that's hard to get out of a Chinese penhold, and the handling is excellent too.

Because it's heavy and gives you power, you basically have to give up on using the backside, but that's exactly why every single shot hits so hard.

This is one of those fast-attack penhold blades that's considered old-school these days.
It's insanely heavy, so I only put pips on it.
Actually, Kaii himself only has rubber on the front side.
Run around your backhand and hit forehand. I'd recommend it to anyone who just wants to hammer away with their forehand.
It's not super expensive, so it's definitely worth trying.
The downside is you end up moving around so much you might strain your body.
Honestly, I got pretty exhausted after just one match. If you're confident in your fitness, go for it.
