    It arrived yesterday so I tried it out in practice right away.
    I haven't used it for long so this might not be very helpful, but please bear with me…

    I compared it to the standard defensive blades Nittaku "Resist II" and STIGA "Defensive Classic NCT" (both with the same rubber setup) and I'll list a few impressions.
    - For a carbon blade, the bounce is fairly subdued (well, that makes sense since it's a defensive blade…)
    I'd say it's about the same as the Classic NCT, maybe a bit more bouncy.
    - Smashes are very easy to keep under control.
    In terms of ease of control: Pro = Resist II > Classic NCT
    - Maybe because of the soft carbon, the feel is almost the same as a wood 5-ply defensive blade.
    - It transmits slightly more vibration to the hand than the Resist II.
    Though this might just be because it's fresh out of the wrapper and not fully dried out yet.
    - The weight is light.
    - Being light, it's easy to swing through.
    - This might be because of the forehand rubber, but the sound barely changes whether I chop or hit a knuckle ball.
    - This might also be the rubber's doing, but when I hit a topspin drive it bounces quite a bit for a defensive blade!
    Overall it's roughly Pro > Classic NCT > Resist II.
