      Using the Chinese-penhold 75g version.
      It keeps the weight down while still having a decent amount of bounce, and the special material gives it a nice wide sweet spot. As a Chinese-penhold blade the head is on the smaller side, and the thin plies give it flex, though the narrow handle means preference will vary — you can adjust it with grip tape.
      As an "international table tennis" style it seems to be aimed at Timo Boll's ALC, but compared to that it doesn't bounce as much, has more flex, and it's actually easier to put spin on your drives with this one. I'd recommend it to anyone stepping up from a 5-ply, or anyone who finds the typical 5.8mm "golden ratio" outer blades built like the Viscaria too bouncy. It's not quite like an inner-ply blade, but it does hold the ball, so it's still very easy to use even as an outer blade.
      I hear shakehand versions are still in stock, but honestly it's a bit surprising this masterpiece hasn't sold out yet.
      I don't think it's picky about rubber pairing, but since it's on the thinner side, I think it pairs well with hard spin-tension rubbers or tacky rubbers. Soft spin-tension rubbers felt like they held the ball too much, so I'd go with something 45 degrees or harder.
      It's also light, so it's a great choice for anyone who wants to use an outer blade while keeping the total racket weight down.
      Blades with this construction and this thickness are pretty rare, so I recommend it.

      Hossy (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Bounces less than expected

      Player reviews

      For an outer-ply (carbon) blade, it barely bounces at all — I'd put it in the low-bounce category even compared to a 5-ply blade.
      The ball-holding feel is really good, and drives and chiquitas feel stable, but I felt the speed was lacking.
      Because it doesn't bounce much and holds the ball well, short-game techniques (stops, flicks) are easy to do.
      I think you'll inevitably feel it's lacking something unless you pair it with a firm, bouncy rubber.
