Very good wood. The wood itself is not the fastest.
I found the best rubbers to be Tibhar Hybrid MK Pro in 2.0 mm for both forehand and backhand. On the forehand, it’s a spinning and killing machine.
This blade works best with hard rubbers. Believe me, Rakza 7 and regular Hybrid MK are too slow.
This blade is magical. It offers exceptional control. I often execute shots that I anticipate will be out of bounds, but surprisingly, they land within the playing area. When I switch back to my previous blade (Andro CO OFF), I feel vulnerable and disconnected from the game.
DISCLAIMER - For context, I have been training with a professional coach for 14 months and have primarily used the Andro CO OFF and Nittaku Mima Ito Carbon blades. My primary objective was to enhance control, which I have achieved with this blade. While the Nittaku Mima Ito Carbon provided a satisfactory level of control, it fell short of this blade and was also noticeably slower in speed. In comparison to the Andro CO OFF, I perceive minimal to no reduction in speed but a significant improvement in control. My coach has also expressed their positive impression of the blade.

This blade is too heavy at the tip and does not feel like a carbon frame. In my opinion, it is too elastic and not very powerful, but the control is perfect.
