Excellent control for blocking, punching, pushes, and good soft touch. I get great dwell & power at same time. Easy to play with. Flared handle may be too skinny for some.
Very stiff blade, very low throw. I cannot understand reviews that say it is a flexible blade. The carbon glass core is very stiff. Not too hard, not too speedy. I used first C1 and first session was about to make backhands go over the net. G1 is harder and better for this blade. I always like the feeling of rigid blades but tend to think this is a habit you tend to regret when you face a difficult opponent. Needs more tests.
This blade is very light! And has a great potential with tensor rubbers, I really didn't like it with the Hurricane 8 I bought because they are both very hard equipments and it makes the racket slow and doesn't give the ball a lot of spin, so I tried Rakza 7 and Xiom Omega 4 Euro and it worked really well! Fast blade, fast response, doesn't have sucha great feeling as you normaly have with all wood blades but you can always tell where and how hard the ball hit your paddle, very good for offensive plays and blocking, choping may go long with no good touch and open ups need a very good technique if you want the ball to hit the table, most of times in the end of it, but attacking is definetly the purpose of this wood
This has to be the most flexible carbon blade ever. Said to be lower quality version of Hurricane King III.
If you prefer very flexible blades like Offensive Classic yet you want more speed without losing too much flex, this would be your choice. Suitable for mid distance looping, but not good for close to the table play.
Power looper's blade, suitable for very fast loops from mid distance with hard chinese rubbers.
Blocking, smashing and serving are the weakness of this blade.
