Got at 85 grams. FastArc G-1 2.0 both sides. Medium trajectory, very good dwell time whilst also being stiff and creating straight line shots easy. Superb blocking, short game and easy to drive the ball and keep in play. Counter looping does take some getting used to because it does have a unique jumping characteristic when hitting hard at the wrong angle when someone has spin on the ball. It has great speed and power reserves 3-4 meters off the table and doesnt die when countering. Very easy to topspin with. I bet this blade would a superb loopers blade with tenergy 05 or something slightly softer and a bit more arc. It does really have a noticeable difference when holding and hitting with different grips which indicates it takes input very well and allows for all variations. Its best to play with the top layer of the blade when looping and countering. Opening and counterlooping are overshot or in the net sometimes and tends to tell me its a bit too stiff for my taste but may be better for less spin oriented players when starting the rally.

Stiff but soft blade, awesome control. Excellent for blocking. Very good short game, like an all wood blade. Limba top layer provides a good dwell time for top spinning. Cellulose nanofiber enormously expands the sweet spot and produces a mute feeling similar to zlc. Overall a very good blade, well worth the price.
