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 it´s a looper dream. Overall it´s 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 can´t have it all. I´m 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 it´s spin, looping couldn´t be easier,
but it lacked a little more speed. Highly reccomended for
offensive technical players.
