I started out with a 5-ply blade, and while also using other 7-ply blades, I picked up a Clipper Wood as well.
Compared to other 7-ply blades, this one has even more destructive power. That said, I don't find it hard to handle — it feels just right.
It's a wood blade, but it's got power too, so I think it suits a wide range of playing styles. Until I make the jump to carbon, this looks like it'll be my main blade.
By the way, it weighed in at 91g, but maybe because the balance is good, I don't feel like it's hard to swing.

I think there's some variance between units, but the balance and weight are easy to swing. Mine, by the way, weighs 87g.
Light hits don't produce much speed, but I think smashes are very easy to hit and come out with real power.
The black finish looks cool, but you can't tell at all once you've put rubber on. The grip is colored, which gives it a distinctive, pretty cool look that I like.
One feature of this blade is that the feel doesn't transmit much to your hand on impact. I also like blades with more feedback, but I like this soft-impact type too, so it doesn't bother me.
Overall, it's a very easy-to-handle blade. It has the control you'd expect from a 5-ply blade, plus even more destructive power on smashes than that would suggest, and when you're hitting well, forehand rallies feel great and you don't get overpowered. I think it's a good blade.

I bought an 83g blade and put on 2.0mm rubbers — Vega Europe on the forehand and Yasaka's Rigan on the backhand — but I found it lacking because it just didn't bounce or fly much at all, and since it was a light blade, I put Vega Asia max thickness on the forehand and kept Vega Europe on the backhand, and both the balance and the bounce got a lot better.
It's very easy to control and easy to use. I have other blades that fly more, but I want to keep using this one for a while too.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Coming back to table tennis after more than 20 years, I chose this as my first blade.
I started with Mark V rubber, which was quite easy to handle and control. But over time I got frustrated that it didn't fly enough, so I switched the forehand to Vega Europe, and it started flying quite nicely.
When you catch the ball dead center, the feel is the best.
However, the one drawback is the weight. I bought a 91g one, but maybe because the balance leans toward the tip, it felt even heavier than that.
Because of the weight, and wanting even more bounce, I moved on to a 7-ply blade, but it's one I'd like to try again once I've improved.
