I'd been using outer-type blades, but bought this one looking for more stability.
Here's what stood out to me.- The sound off the blade is high-pitched
→ On smashes and topspin rallies it makes a sharp metallic "clack." It feels really satisfying to hit.- The grip is thin and flat
→ My hands are on the smaller side for an adult man, but even so it feels thin. The base of the blade (the flare) is slim, so when you grip deep, your index finger tends to hang off the edge of the blade. This will probably be a matter of preference.- The balance point is a bit toward the tip
→ Because the grip is thin, the balance point ends up relatively closer to the tip.- Fairly lightweight among inner-type blades
→ I bought an 82g specimen. It's easy to swing through and switch directions with. Despite being light, it still has solid bounce, so I never feel outmuscled by an opponent's drive.I'd recommend this to anyone who prefers a thinner grip or wants a lightweight special-material blade. Also, it fully delivers on that classic inner-blade trait of not over-bouncing on light touches while still getting real distance on hard hits.
Overall, I think this is a blade with excellent value for money.

This is a blade where the limba surface gives you a "soft grip" on the ball, and the arylate carbon "launches" it.
The distance and the extension after the bounce are considerable, but there's almost no sense of the ball automatically settling onto the table on its own, so it has trouble with control when playing close to the table.
Because of this, I'd recommend it for players whose main playing area is mid to far from the table — the type who ride out rallies with lobs and fish shots and then counter-drive when they spot an opening. On the other hand, I wouldn't recommend it much for players aiming for "fast table tennis" who rely heavily on drives and smashes close to the table.Lobbing
It's really easy. Since you get good distance even with a weak touch, you can hit high lobs even from an awkward position.Blocking
It's easy. Once you get the feel of grabbing the ball and launching it, you can produce blocks with a nice straight trajectory.Smash
You can hit really fast, heavy smashes. However, because you get so much distance, over-hits become more frequent.Drive
Counter-drives from mid to far from the table are easy to hit. For drives close to the table, the weaker your impact, the more likely you are to hit long.Short game/over-the-table play
Since the ball tends to pop up even with a weak touch, it takes some getting used to and adjustment.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I bought this as an entry-level hard rubber, wanting to stabilize my short-game techniques (stop and push).
My swing is slow, so I was worried about handling the attacking side, but it turned out to be no problem at all.What stands out about this rubber...
- You can clearly feel the topsheet "grab" the ball, letting you push with a flat, straight trajectory.
- Drives have a high arc, so even if you close the racket face and take the ball early, it still lands safely on the table.
- Serves spin easily. It's also easy to mix long and short serves with varying pace.Those are the three points I noticed.
It particularly excels at spin-based techniques, but I didn't feel any difficulty on the attacking (meet-hitting) side either.It might be surprising, but I found the push to be the easiest technique of all with this rubber.
I'd also recommend it to players whose style is to build their game off push rallies (which seems more common among women players?).Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

This blade is known for a moderate bounce and a loud, sharp sound on meet shots. It's relatively light and has great maneuverability too.
As for attacking, it's better suited to power drives, smashes, and counters that take advantage of the kevlar carbon's rebound, rather than loop drives. Spin is a bit on the low side, but the ball flies on a direct trajectory and drives into the table.
On the other hand, short-game techniques like stops and pushes tend to float even on soft touches, so they're not very stable. It takes some adjustment and practice to get used to it. Defensive shots like blocks and lobs are no problem at all.- If you like the loud sound unique to special materials
- If you prefer a relatively light, well-bouncing blade
- If you prioritize meet-style techniquesIf any of these apply to you, this blade might be worth considering.
