Quite manageable and, at the same time, an attacking blade.

Light and with lots of vibration. I always prefer a zero vibration blade… well this one definitely is unique. Go ahead and put on medium hard max rubber and its control is marvelous. Speed is not too slow. With LP 1mm on backhand for far distance and close to the table, it is awesome. A good thin defensive blade. Hardly see any reviews about this balsa defensive blade. This defensive blade is indeed very good for a fast attacking game. The handle feel is nice and comfortable.

I played with this new toy a few times, Victas VS402 limber on FH and BTY Feint long 2 1.3 on BH. It is really stable for either looping or chopping. The interesting point is I can counter the strong topspin from opponents by topspin looping, and most of them return back to the table with extraordinary curve. It makes the opponent surprised and unable to return it back. I like this blade!
