It's heavy.
Also, it doesn't fly very far for its weight, so I'd say it's not well suited to beginners.
The Swat is lighter and gets more speed.The feel is exactly what you'd expect from a soft blade.
It's kind of "boingy," and personally I didn't like that.Plenty of other reviewers have already covered the good points, so I'll just mention the downsides.

This is perfect as an entry-level rubber.
Since it's a modern rubber, you won't have any trouble with the launch angle when you move up to tension rubbers later.
It gets a lot of spin, but I feel like the speed is a bit lacking.Its control is excellent, so beginners should definitely give it a try.

Soft, and light.
Much easier to handle than a heavy blade like the Korbel.
Even for beginners, it's a perfect fit without bouncing too much.
If a blade doesn't fly at all, that can actually hold back a beginner's progress, but that's not the case here — it's a pretty good blade.It's also reasonably priced, so if you're buying your first blade, I'd say pick this one, the Swat, or the Allround Evolution.

This is a really good rubber.
Even though it's soft with high control, it still lets you produce fast, point-scoring shots easily.
It spins well too, so I'd recommend it for players who like to attack in the short game on the backhand and then move into backhand-to-backhand exchanges.
You can use it on the forehand too, but it gives you more confidence on the backhand.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

First, as far as outer blades go, this one falls into the fairly easy-to-handle category.
Probably because it uses arylate carbon, it's not the kind that flies uncontrollably. But it's not soft either.
I'll say this outright: it's still an outer blade, so even if you put tacky rubber on it, you won't get much spin, it won't fly, control will be bad, and there's no point spending a lot of money on it that way.
Stick with tension rubber.
Ratings by technique, out of 10:
Drive... 9
Speed and spin are great, produces really good shots. Plenty of carry too.
Just watch out, if you muscle it too hard the ball flies off.
Smash... 9
It has that outer-blade snap to it, and it's very easy to smash with.
Block... 5
Not easy. This isn't the kind of blade that absorbs the opponent's power, so the ball flies out a fair bit. If you can't get the angle right, it's rough.
Push (tsuttsuki)... 4
If you try to cut it, it flies too long, and if you just make contact it floats up — not stable either way. Hard to do.
Stop... 7
This one was oddly easy to do. It stops short nicely, which is satisfying. Same as before though, if you put too much force into it, it flies off.
Overall... 8
I think this would suit a player with 3+ years of experience, someone who can win a couple matches at a prefectural tournament.
The attacking power on drives is great, true to an outer blade.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard
