      I put on Hurricane Blue Sponge and Tenergy 05 and tried it out.
      Flat forehand hits don't fly all that far, but drives really take off, sending in heavy, deep balls.
      On the backhand, fast balls landed deep too.
      Stops were easy to angle and stopped short nicely!
      Blocks held their ground without getting pushed back too.
      Thanks to the grip, the angle never wavered, which made it really easy to use!

      LIU (Experience: 6〜10 years) It really flies!

      Player reviews

      For anyone switching over from a wood blade, this is honestly a whole different level of blade.
      Put tension rubber on it and it's just plain bouncy. Put tacky rubber on it and the short game gets easier, but unless you make solid contact and brush properly on your drives, you end up with weak, feeble shots. It seems like you'd need to build the kind of physique China's top players have to handle it properly.

      What really stands out is the sense of unity you get holding it in your hand.
      Even with wrist-heavy strokes like backhand drives and chiquita, you can grip it firmly and still swing all the way through.
      I think forehand hitting would also get easier with continued use.

      In the end, I don't use it in matches — it's become more of a fun conversation-piece blade for me.

      Sughi (Experience: More than 20 years) The FL is wider than the Timo Boll ALC or Timo Boll Spirit.

      Player reviews

      Compared to the old-logo era Viscaria, it seems like the blade's flare has disappeared? The blade shape was the same as my Timo Boll Spirit and Jun Mizutani ZLC.
      What's completely different with the FL grip is that it's wider side-to-side than on other models.
      Because of that, the balance point sits closer to the grip, so when putting spin on shots like a backhand drive, I don't feel any strain on my wrist at impact.
      Because of that, I was able to keep topspin rallies going for many shots, regardless of where I was playing from.

      The blade shape feels really off to me, though...
      I bought it overseas, so I honestly don't know if I got a real one or a fake (lol)
      I guess I'll have to go check with a shop sometime!

      DONG 7 (Experience: 6〜10 years) Popular blade used by Zhang Jike

      Player reviews

      This blade is now discontinued in Japan, but I once borrowed one from a friend who owned it and got to hit with it. First off, this isn't about performance, but just knowing Zhang Jike uses it really boosts your motivation. I paired it with Hurricane NEO3 and it matches tacky rubber really well. Since tacky rubber can make up for spin, I'd recommend pairing this blade with tacky rubber.

      3344 A good blade

      Player reviews

      This is a good blade.
      Performance-wise it's the same as the Timo Boll line of three blades (four if you count the Freitas).

      It flies well, but somehow it's also easy to handle.
      That said, easy to handle or not, it's still an outer blade after all.

      Even paired with tacky rubber, I could only manage weak, wobbly drives...

      Unless you're an advanced player with real confidence in your arm, a softer tension rubber is probably the better choice.

      Now Whoa, insane

      Player reviews

      It's amazing, amazing, and amazing again — that's how good it is. Personally I could probably keep piling on praise, but let me just get the review out for now.
      The outer layer uses arylate carbon, so it pairs incredibly well with tacky rubber.
      Of course it works great with tension rubber too.
      I think you can bring out Tenergy's full potential with it. But personally I went with the classic Hurricane, and even though Hurricane isn't usually very bouncy, the first time I used it on this blade it bounced enough to send the ball long!

      Up Down Service (Experience: 6〜10 years) Good!

      Player reviews

      It's aimed at advanced players, but really anyone can use it. It suits tacky rubber too. Even with a 25 on it, it still bounces and gives you that spin the 25 is known for. It's what people call a "god blade." I personally like wood blades, so this ended up as my backup, but you won't regret buying it.
