Nice touch in the short game, service game, and touch shots, plays like an All+ blade in these areas, which is a good thing.
Great blade for looping, slow loops, power loops, loop kills. Plays like an Off- blade in the power game, fast blocks, drives, kills, and loops, which is a good thing.
This blade is ever so slightly larger than a standard blade. About the same length as an AC hero, but a couple of mm wider. It’s not big enough to call oversize. For me it is just the right size, I love the balance and the handle.
At the time of this writing, my favorite blade, which I use full time. For me it’s better than the AC Hero, Arylate/Carbon, and MegaWeave blades, all of which I’ve used in the past.
