Nice blade that has great feel. Blade has speed when needed and offers excellent control for ball placement. The blade handle is very comfortable and feels very nice in hand. Blade is similiar to the Donic Ovtcharov Feat with a just a little more weight. QUALITY BLADE and well constructed with top-notch craftsmanship. Give it a try.

Sold as a all+, but it's off -. Same speed like a Stiga Infinity. Soft touch , no unpleasant vibrations. And yes flat hitting isn't the strongest suit. High throw angle. Control gets mushy with soft sponge rubbers. I got the best results with fastarc g1 and c1. Excellent craftsmanship and German construction knowledge by Mr Schneider from soulspin.

Blade is 5 ply Spruce, 6.1mm. Mine is 88g. Handle is perfect for small/medium hands and very well finished. I believe it could be considered an OFF blade, or at least a fast OFF-. Speed is comparable to my Tibhar SPW. Blade is most enjoyable when playing any mid distance offensive strokes (eg looping), but also blocks well close to the table. Pushes and flicks work well enough, while flat hits aren't it's strongest suit. When hitting hard counter drives or loops the blade makes an incredibly nice cracking sound, which feels like driving an old Italian car (for those familiar with the feeling) at high RPM's, quite lovely really. Paired with new 'clicky' Tensor rubbers, one gets a simultaneously click-crack type sound, which I'm a fan of. Has quite a high amount of feeling, vibration and feedback, which is great if you're sick of lifeless blades, although may not be fully appreciated by those coming from harder carbon or some ZLF composite type blades.
