Fast and lacks of control. Difficult find rubbers that suits this blade. Chinese rubbers don't match. Soft rubbers don't match. Perfect for high skilled looping, bad for blocking.

It's a flex innerforce type blade for looping and loop drive. The speed would come out if you hit hard enough through the blade. Or it's like carbon version of YE (Yasaka Extra) almost soft and flex touch. Pushes is not good enough due to its flexibility. You need harder rubber on backhand or you would get too high throw angle.

Great blade. Compared stratus powerwood, the Kevlar carbon version is 3x more expensive, but it can be justified after trying the carbon version, I can tell for definite it's a upgrade from powerwood for sure. Speed is just a touch faster But other aspects such as control ,sweetspot , spin, flex are all better . Best thing it feels less hard and more softer than powerwood. The arc is same as powerwood. Anatomic handle is Great, this blade is looper best friend, or someone who likes to spin, lots of dwell aswell.

This is a great blade.Great control+speed is fast but manageable. Used Rakza 7 BH,FH.Spin I could generate was shocking.The handle design is great,very grippy despite sweating. Handle aids in looping motion-can't tell u why-but the spin I could generate made me happy!!!

Its a 5 ply + 2 ply Kevlar Carbon (3rd layer). Limba - Ayous/Limba? - Kevlar Carbon - Kiri/Ayous Core?... Slow in passive play, fast in aggressive play. Has intermediate gears but not many. ST handle is Round SQ and larger than standard BTY ST handles, FL handle is similar to BTY TB ALC FL in terms of size, wish FL was bigger (I have large hands). Top ply has very nice finish and handle is very smooth. There isnt much vibration or flex due to Kevlar Carbon but the blade doesnt feel dead/hard due to two top plies being wood. I guess it can be compared to BTY Innerforce Layer ALC blade in terms of construction, but not identical. It is slower than my old TB ALC but faster than BTY Primorac and Korbel. Great intermediate between BTY ALC blades and a 5 ply all wood. My FL version is 79g, ST is 87g. Can be head heavy with heavy rubbers. Great blade under $80.
