This Ask the Experts question was answered by Rachid El Boubou. He is a Coach at Tulsa Table Tennis Club and his response is as follows:

Hi Manuel,
 
The Primorac blade without carbon is very similar to the Gamma Seven blade.
 
It is  very good for beginners because its wood allows the ball to stay on the racket longer, which helps you serve longer providing good feel and control.
 
My advice is to use this blade at the beginning. I used it for several years.  
 
Best of luck!
 
Coach Boubou
