| Been playing with it for 2 or 3 years. Great blade for looping, very light and elastic, and very fast (especially if you reglue). I use it with Mark V GPS 2.0 on both sides (with plenty of glue) and itīs a looper dream. Overall itīs probably one of the best blades for playing close to the table (very good for serve & 3rd ball attack, and great for fast blocking and playing with extreme angles). However if you go too far away from the table (tpospin-against-topspin rallies) maybe it lacks a little more power but, hey, you canīt have it all. Iīm considering switching to regular Mark V for a little more speed (the blade is very elastic and GPS is a very soft rubber, so the combination is too soft, i think). Also, i tried it with Xtend SG and was very impressed with itīs spin, looping couldnīt be easier, but it lacked a little more speed. Highly reccomended for offensive technical players. |
