once very popular blade but noow not so much because speed glue is not allowed so it is not as good so not a lot of people use it, but still pretty good blade for its relatively cheap price. it has very unique speed and touch and sound feeling. it sort “clips” the ball, producing very swift, quick shots. the wood is medum hardness, absorbs some shakiness too. it is relatively heavy paddle to me, but may be different for other people. one thing that is not optimum is the durability. seems to chip and dent and tear VERY easy, so you have to be careful when regluing. otherwise, its wroth the buck.
