Best regards
Jesper

Answer:

Your Ask the Experts question was answered by Shahin Akhlaghpasand. Coach Akhlaghpasand is a Coach at the Austin Table Tennis Club and his response is as follows:

Jesper,

This blade is a great choice for players who have a fairly equal split of attack and defense in their strategy.

In my opinion, this blade can be compared to blades that have high control like the Viscaria or Primorac OFF-.

Regards,

Coach Shahin
