I use this with a flared handle along with the Stiga Airoc S 1.9mm on both sides. It works very well and surprised me with the speed you can achieve even if you have softs. The control was as you would expect running a soft sponge. I am not too concerned with the weight with regards to speed as it was easy to defend against smashes and surprisingly good at fast aggressive loops.

I purchased 2 of these and they are very different in speed. 1st one was quite good in terms of speed(pretty fast) but the 2nd one was like all blade and seriouly lacking speed. Also suface of the blade was very rough. After I took out the rubber, I sawsome file fiber coming out. But I liked the 1st one though.
This is a loopers blade especialy mid distance. Lacks a bit of power away from table. Straight handle is too small. A decent blade but nothing special.
