I borrowed a friend's and hit with it. Even with a light touch it feels very soft. But strangely enough, even hard shots don't drop off, and the ball carries further than I expected. Personally I'd recommend using it on the backhand, but I think it's fine on the forehand too for beginners or people who like a soft feel. True to having "Spin" in the name, it's outstanding at how easily it puts spin on the ball.

This was my first blade, recommended to me by the shop staff. The rubber I'm using is my second rubber.
First, this blade has a good balance between speed off the blade and grip on the ball. Because of that, it's easy not just for drives but also for flat hits like angled shots. I think that's probably why Karube used it.
A moderate weight, a moderately thin grip with a moderate roundness, moderate speed, moderate spin — all of it is perfect for finding your own style. I felt the same kind of all-around versatility, and the same slight lack of a standout trait, as Nittaku's Factive.
The feel on contact wasn't to my personal taste, but I think using this blade helps you establish your playing style, so if you're struggling to find your way in table tennis or want to discover your own individuality, I think it's worth trying at least once.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

I bought this from Takugeki-ya. I was using the Innerforce Layer LT, but the grip was thin and I wanted more arc on my drives, so I switched. I haven't been able to play much because of COVID, but the grip feels like a slightly more angular version of the SWAT's, and it's really easy to hold. The feel is on the harder side for a 5-ply blade, but it has a good grabbing sensation. It's not one of those blades with a hard top ply that are trendy right now. I'll review again once I've had a chance to actually play with it.

I borrowed a senior teammate's blade and gave it a test hit.
When I hit lightly at first, since the rubber was on the harder side, I got the impression the ball leaves the blade quite fast. Thinking it must be more speed-oriented, when I hit a topspin drive I really felt that grab-and-launch sensation, and it was easy to put spin on the ball.
However, that grip on the ball can't match a soft 5-ply all-wood blade, and the speed at which the ball leaves it can't match an outer special-material blade. Just because it's inner carbon doesn't mean it has the softness of a 5-ply blade, so that's something to keep in mind.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

I borrowed this from a senior teammate. It works great on both forehand and backhand, with insane arc and spin on my topspin drives! That said, the feel was kind of mushy and honestly felt pretty unpleasant to me. Well, that's just a matter of getting used to it and personal preference, so performance-wise I think it'd suit pretty much everyone! By the way, a rubber with a similar feel is Factive.
