I've been using this blade for around 18 months now. I've tried other blades but keep coming back to this one. That cork handle is just fantastic. I really can't see why other manufacturers don't use the same material much more. Also the blade has loads of control and enough speed to finish a point when required. I'm currently using DMS Spinfire on the fh and Giant Dragon Meteorite Ox on the bh. As another review suggested it works great with Donic Bluegrip C2. I did find that the blade was a little soft for my chop block style but i can punch and drive with the ox pimps and it's very nice with spinny short pimps. I'm a terrible fiddler so I looked for a harder veneer to try on the bh and used 0.5mm Bamboo. The handle design is perfect for adding veneers. It has transformed the bh performance. I can do pretty much everything with the ox pimps now. It gives great spin reversal, chops, drives, punches, chop blocks and even what looks like a loop (it tends to come off the table rather flat). Cost me 3 to do. I now have 5 blades and reworked 4 of them with bamboo. I'm a bit of an EJ! I did have 7 but people keep asking to buy them off me as they're so nice to play with! Try this blade. You'll love it

The best blade i have used, extreme control in every hit, ideal for chopping especially with feint long 2 or 3 and significantly good at blocking and fishing. Being slow enables hard chopping from behind but you will need a fast offensive rubber to attack. I have tried it with tenergy 05 but its a bit hard to play and attack from far off. For me it best suits with a Chinese top sheet rubber. I have played with hurricane neo 3 and its the best combination to get the best feeling and security in every shot. Potentially can be managed better with Donic BlueGrip C2 as its a faster version of hurricane.
The backhand is not so comfortable to use as the forehand, you have to get used to play. The control is good speed is low great for defense play. Not too happy because the blade is curved a little and I didn't catch that it was saying a straight handle but isn't . Still struggling with the back hand play.can't give more than 3 star because of the back hand play. ..
i always wanted to buy this blade since i considered quite good due to the nature of construction of it . the blade is not big , around 158 mm x 154 mm so it close to the dimensions of an offensive blade . i rate this blade as an ALL , with extreme control , kind of slow but very consistent on about 80 % of the blade surface . i'm currently using it with an offensive pimple rubber - TSP P-4 - and i think it would go well with a slower P-1 rubber . as for the other rubber , i'm paring it with an Acuda S3 , which works well when it comes to blocks , spin , chop , even top spin , but i might migrate to a better defensive rubber . overall , this is a very good blade , in my opinion it is at least at the level of the Defsenso blade from Donic , if not above it due to the cork handle . i would recommend this blade to a friend !
This is the blade if you looking for control and block. The perfomance almost perfect. For attacking this blade is not to fast.. But You can generate a a lot of frightening spin with this blade to surprise you opponent! I rate 9 for the overal
If you want xtra control with decent power, just get this. This excels in everything ( chops, loops, push, blocks). But controls where this WangXi dotec shines. With amount of feedback on your every hits this thing is like an extension of your arm / hand. But might not suit an attacker because of so-so speed / power.
had a couple of sessions to play with it, i used the BTY joo se hyuk prior to this and the first thing i noticed is that this blade is bery light compared to joo se hyuk and is much quicker. The same chopping actions resulted in more spin being imparted in play, forehand loops became quicker and overall i was tensed if this is a replacement to joo se hyuk for the way i play this is even better.
