    I bought this out of curiosity since it's basically an inner-ply version of the TSP Vesti I used to use. It shares things in common with the Vesti - the balance point is close to the handle, it's light, and control is good - but it's better than the Vesti when it comes to generating spin. That makes it especially well suited to the plastic ball. The Vesti has slightly more speed, but this one still has plenty of bounce. Another advantage is that the short game plays almost like an all-wood blade. When I went to a table tennis specialty shop, I heard this is currently their best seller. It's light enough for women to swing easily, yet it bounces and generates spin easily if you swing hard - a real all-rounder. It doesn't have any one standout strength, but its overall performance is just very high.

    This is better than any chopping blade I've used before. It gets good distance, and the spin makes it easy to attack. Yet chops still land in. It's similar to the Kohji Matsushita Offensive, but the ball sits on it a bit longer, which brings stability to both attacking and chopping. The grip is a slightly rounded flat type that's easy to hold. What really stands out is how good the feel on contact is. Blades with this pleasant a feel are rare.

    A 7-ply blade with an interesting concept. Its biggest strength is how easy it is to generate spin. The bounce is roughly on par with an all-round blade like the Koji Matsushita Offensive. The larger blade head suits chopping fairly well, but it's not great for fast counter-attacks that need quick switching. It was apparently designed originally for unorthodox-style players, but I feel it's actually best suited to all-round choppers with inverted rubber on both sides who rely heavily on backhand drives, like Eida. It's a blade with its own unique niche, and the design looks great too.

    With the plastic ball I felt Omega V Euro was too soft, so I bought this newer sister rubber instead. It has good grip and suits the plastic ball well. It's moderately hard, which seems to suit wood or inner-carbon blades. This rubber shines the most when hitting against backspin. It's aimed at players with a fairly strong impact, and interestingly it's surprisingly easy to chop with too. I've heard a lot of national-level senior players use it, and I can see why - it's a high-performance rubber.
    The one downside is durability. Having used the long-lasting Rakza X before, this one feels like it wears out a bit faster. Also, it's a heavy rubber, so watch out for the weight.

    I mainly play backhand, so my backhand isn't an issue, but my forehand topspin drive lacks power, so I was looking for a blade that would let me make up for it with smashes and counters instead - and I found one. The weight is concentrated toward the tip and the wood is quite thick, so this is the heaviest-feeling blade I've ever used. As for performance, even though it's an inner blade, it flies like the Gergely 21 or Primorac Carbon. What really stands out is the push - I've had a higher success rate cracking through with one push than with any other blade I've used. It might be because of that brief moment of ball-holding. It's discontinued now, so I'm going to take good care of it.
