Black Coffee (Experience: More than 20 years) Does it have carbon in it??

Moving over from the Infinity.
Like the title says, when you hit lightly you might wonder, "wait, is there carbon in this?"
- it's that smooth a transition from an all-wood blade.
I put max-thickness rubber on both sides, but it doesn't bounce excessively
once you get used to it, control isn't an issue at all!
When you hit hard (both drives and smashes), it flies exactly as much as you swing
with very little energy loss, which is great ♪
Serve receive, blocking, and other techniques where you don't want the ball to fly were also easy to do.
It responds exactly to however much you want the ball to fly
it's an excellent blade.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Using the Chinese-penhold 78g version. I moved over from the Infinity.
Even at hardness 45, there's quite a lot of speed. It has more speed than the Infinity, but even with all that flight, the short game still stays under control. I used to have Shoryu on it, but when I switched to Hurricane Neo 3, this blade completely transformed. It generates the most spin I've ever gotten out of any setup. The blade makes up for the bounce, so it's an outstanding combination. Serves and pushes are the strongest part, but on the other hand, tension rubbers are easier to use for rallies. Highly recommended for tacky-rubber users! Mizuno's GF PRO was also good - it worked well with hard rubbers.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I bought this out of curiosity since Chinese players Chen Meng and Zhu Yuling use it. It gets decent speed and it's easy to generate spin with, so it's a good blade.
