Since it was discontinued, I bought the Chinese-penhold version — no gram spec, and mine was 72g.
If you look up reviews of this blade, most say things like "it stops really well over the table!" and "when you hit hard you can really feel the carbon kick in and get power!"
That's true, but maybe because mine was a light one, the feel is really hollow. The core might be paulownia or something, because it feels empty. I normally use STIGA blades, so maybe that's part of it, but I don't feel any sense of "oneness" from this blade at all.
So light shots stop in a strange way, and hard shots feel like they're being launched by the carbon alone. For medium-hard shots, like drives lifting backspin or connecting shots, the bounce was wildly inconsistent — sometimes it bounced, sometimes it didn't — with no stability.
I didn't notice it during basic drills, but once it came to matches, all I felt was how hard it was to use.
That said, it's light and doesn't pick rubbers, so if you want a blade that doesn't bounce over the table but does bounce on hard shots, it might be worth a try.
It could suit an unorthodox all-round style fairly well.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
