I got the Dragon fast blade and the Dragon Touch FLC blade… I really like the touch blade and I think I might like the dragon fast blade more…. I put $50 rubbers on the “fast” blade just to compare it to another high end blade that i had those same rubbers on…. This blade is just as good as my high end blade imo… My advice is…. Get a high end blade and compare it to this Dragon fast blade if you want… However, I think they’re pretty much the same.
Also, this blade is probably too fast for beginners. Maybe go for the Dragon touch if you are new. I won’t recommend any lesser a blade because I think you should just get used to a good blade from the beginning.

Nice blade with high quality finish, this blade is fast and not for beginners, I slowed the blade down a little with the Zero 1.7mm now I can handle it better.

I’ve been wanting to try this or the blade it compares favorably to so when a buddy of mine had a chance to pick me one with some rubber from the Arnold in Columbus I jumped at it and I’m glad I did.
Let’s get this out of the way. It’s fast. It has carbon. It makes the sound only a carbon blade gives you and I love it.
Ok now that that is out of the way let me mention some other things. Despite its speed I was very pleasantly surprised with the dwell time and control. Throw angle was medium. Much lower than the photino light I was using and that’s a good thing with the rubber I was using.
My blade has a much redder handle than in the picture and that’s fine, preferred even. The slightly larger head size makes it a bit head heavy but nothing too bad.
All in all a great blade especially for the price.

I got this blade because I am a looper that likes big loops. And the rubber I had completed that desire. It was defenitaly carbon (from the sound). This blade however did have good flex for its speed. It is to fast if you are still learning play, but it was perfect for quick attack.
