I used the Fortius FT (FL)
and became the men's singles champion of the North Nagasaki district about 10 years ago.
Back then, Yuya Oshima and a lot of the top junior high and high school players nationwide were using it, and being the trend-follower I am, I bought one right away.
The Fortius FT is a blade I can trust.
Despite how well the ball holds, it bounces quite a bit.
The downside is that, since I was weaker back then than I am now, the blade's weight was too much for me, and I think I was a bit late on my swing at times because of it.
Actually, it also pairs well with short pips, so during my high school days it was the best partner blade I could ask for.
These days, I think you can really feel how good this blade is if you put Tibhar's plain Evolution MX-P 2.1mm on the forehand side.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Let me say this upfront: this probably isn't suited for choppers other than players like Hideda or those placing near the top at national tournaments.
I test-hit it with Rakza 7.
I'd recommend a different rubber.
The reason is that it bounces too much and you can't keep your chops under control.
This is recommended for players who like the feel of pure wood, want more bounce, like the hitting feel of hinoki, can't get along with special-material blades, like 3-ply construction, or like thick blades - or for players with an unusual rubber on the backhand who play close to the table.
It's also good for large-ball (38mm+) players.
It's such a good blade that I'm even considering switching from my current one.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I used this from 5th grade through my second year of high school, back when the Tenergy series was still 6,300 yen tax included, before the price went up.
Back then I didn't have much power, so I couldn't use hard rubbers at all.
Even now I still can't really use very hard rubbers.
What I wanted from a rubber at the time was
1) speed, 2) spin, 3) distance, 4) control, 5) softness, and I was looking for something as soft as possible that still had power - this was a perfect match, so it's the rubber I used the longest in my life.
The speed is right up there among the top one or two rubbers I've ever used.
However, once the price went up to what it is now, I had to give it up for financial reasons, but I'd like to use it again once I can afford it.
Later I had a bit more money to spare, so I used it again for a month.
When driving against backspin, at my level, using it on the forehand felt like the ball dropped a little short.
Still, it's such a good rubber overall that I keep debating whether to go back to it.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

The Avalox P700 surprisingly has excellent — really excellent — chemistry with short pips rubber.
Since most blades over 90g tend to be heavy, this might feel heavy for women.
It generates power even with a wide variety of rubbers on it, so it's aimed at people who want power from a wood blade.
The ball grip is also the solid kind typical of wood blades, giving you a lot of confidence when driving.
Also, as I keep saying, it's heavy, so if you don't swing through fully and recover properly, I think you'll easily be late on your swing.
Also, the grip is round and thick, so people with small hands will probably find it quite hard to hold!
I have small hands myself, so it was quite hard to hold.
Plenty of Chinese national team players used it in the past, so its compatibility with tacky rubber is top-notch.
As recommended rubbers,
for the forehand:
Dignics 09C
Dignics 64
Tenergy 05
Tenergy 25
Tenergy 64
the Hurricane series
for the backhand:
Dignics 09C
Dignics 64
Tenergy 05
Tenergy 64
Xianglong
the Hurricane series
and others like that are what I'd recommend.
As for short pips, I think it generally has really good compatibility overall.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

This is the blade I'm currently using.
The details of mine: weight 93g, grip FL.
I generally struggle with the feel and ball-holding of special-material blades.
Out of all the blades I've tried, this is the only one I've been able to handle well.
Why I'm using it now:
It bounces quite a lot, but it also holds the ball extremely well, so it's really easy to control.
The ball-holding is so good it almost feels like the ball sticks to the rubber for a moment.
The harder I hit it, the more the ball seems to trace a huge arc into the opponent's court.
Personally, I find loop drives really easy to do with this.
By the way, I'd recommend it for players using inverted rubber on both sides, but I'd especially recommend it for anyone who plays an unusual rubber on one side (short pips, variation pips, long pips, anti, or OX).
The unusual side's characteristics really come through.
This is definitely a blade worth trying at least once.
For now, I can't see myself switching away from this blade.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Hard
