I think it's a good blade with enough control and power. The price is high tough. And the dyneema carbon it's not my preference, feels plastic sometimes.

Hello friends! I've been playing with this blade for 6 months. I used to play with such blades - Butterfly Petr Korbel, Stiga Infinity VPS, DHS PG7, Yinhe 970xx A, Yinhe V-14 Pro.
I can say
1. Control. I think this blade has maximum control, you can put the ball anywhere on the table. It's better than the blades I mentioned. The sweet spot is huge. The ball bounces off the blade for a very long time, you can easily pick up the reverse spin, the block is great. There is no catapult. You know exactly where your ball will go. But I want to warn you, you will feel a void in the blade, as if you are playing with a butterfly net, the ball falls very hard into the racket. It doesn't bother me, it gives me total control.
2. Speed. It's not an Off+, it's a standard Off blade. This is enough to win a point. 90% of players will say that the speed is good.
3. Rotation. The rotation is good. Not as much as the 970xx A. There are blades that have more spin. A lot depends on the tires.
4. Rubber. Tried different tires. Many fit well. I think the best combination is FH - a hybrid of medium hardness, BH - a European tensor. Currently playing TIBHAR K2 and MX-P (47). The hybrid adds rotation, and the tensor makes a great active block.
5. Results. Maybe some players will find the blade boring, it does everything too right :) But I admire the quality of the blade, which can make elements at a high level. This blade is very predictable, no surprises. I recommend it to any player who is looking for a reliable weapon.

It is a very hard and stiff blade. It gave me a lot of power, especially on my backhand. Unfortunately, it reduced my consistency by a lot, as well as my spin. Overall nice blade, but if plays very different compared to your usual 5 ply-wood blade or alc-blades. You will need a long time adjusting to it, if you come from those blades.
