The first bats I ever bought, pre-made with Tibhar Volcano on fh, and Tibhar Vari Spin on bh. This blade helped me improve as a beginner, having pretty good control and feeling. I feel like the bat could have been better with better rubbers, but the blade is a good choice for a beginner looking for quality control and feeling to develop their strokes. UPDATE: Since using this blade, I have bought and used the Stiga All-round Classic and the Tibhar Drinkhall All-round Classic, and these blades are so much better.

I've been using this blade for a year and the feeling that you get when playing a looping stroke is very good. But from further off the table the loop becomes slower. It is a very good blade for beginners since you get a lot of feeling so it will help the person to develop the stroke more

This is a good blade, a five ply all wood blade. Not a very fast blade for playing offensive loop, but I don't need to loop often so fast from medium distance since my style of play is modern defensive. It has an awesome control, good for blocking using inverted or long pips rubber with a softer sponge hardness, good at the table play especially flat hit and smash, also good for topspin at the table or medium distance away from the table and the spin character is sharp and precise. Good for chopping backspin and push too, since I could chop with inverted on forehand and lp rubber on the backhand as well. This blade suits the style of All round offensive and defensive. I put my backhand using Dawei Saviga V lp rubber and it's so enjoyable to do the chopping at the table or away from the table. Just have to practise more to get the better feeling and precision.

I have to agree with Ogondia for a bit.
Above the table fast enough and very good control. The control is very consistent which makes this blade a blade very well suited for allround attacking players. However the further you get away from the table it gets slow very fast. This makes it hard to spin from mid distance or further. For a close to table player who blocks, flips and close to table topspins this is an excellent blade which you gonna love. The control it gives makes it excellent to defend with as well but its not at its best there.
For a player like me who likes to mix up his play with close to table play, mid distance etc etc it gets frustating at times.
Im currently looking for a blade what suites my style of play better. So if anyone has a suggestion feel free to advise me.

I used to play with a Yasaka Extra Special, Alpha SGS is too slow for me, it´s lighter and it isn´t good for mid distance.
