Light 7 ply blade with good control and medium fast. Good for looping and flat hits. Paired with Andro R47 2.0 and R45 2.0.

This is a classic Clipper-like, 7 ply all-wood blade, on the thin side.
It's a good example of a blade that will grow with you, it can be used by a beginner as well as an advanced player, because it's very versatile: add a slow rubber and you get a control monster, add a fast rubber and you can compete with high level players without issues.
My favorite pairing is with Vega Europe 1.8 when I play ALL (training), it's consistent with a large window, all my shots magically finish on the table. But any faster Vega or Omega will push you to the OFF side.
I mention especially Xiom because the blade looks totally gorgeous with a black sponge (and no band), the striped pattern matches the handle and it looks cool (for those who value the look beside performance, it's a winner). Another good (and beautiful) combo is with Victas Triple Extra, that way you have a Chinese, HL3+H3 feeling but a bit slower and more controllable. A fast option I enjoyed is Hammond Z2. But I didn't like it with MX-P (too fast and heavy to my taste).
Construction is excellent considering the price point.
Handle (I use AN) is on the large side, which is perfect for my large hands but my 11 years old son likes it too. Actually he likes it so much he even stole that blade from me...

This is my go to for training sessions and longer ralley play, I paired it with MXP max on both sides. Its very precise compared to my other 6 blades which is the reason I love to use it, almost feels like magic returning shots and hitting winners you think your going to miss. Its just such a good allarounder and so consistant its baffling. More than enough speed can be generated aswell to apply pressure to the opponent. This one is great for anyone which makes it unique to most other blades that are specifically tailored towards various levels of play. Basically buy this blade and your good to Go from Amature to Pro. No wonder Bernie plays it and just beat Cheng Meng with it, it seemed like she just couldnt miss and stayed with ease in the backhand to backhand chinese women trademark ralleys. ;)

Its a thin but solid 7 ply blade.
Think Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition (TSFPBE), but slower, and with better control.
For local league players or developer players who find TSFPBE, Clipper CR, or carbon blades too quick/ too hard.
The ST handle is squared and very filling. People with big hands should like this.
