Giant Dragon Kris

I am a modern defender who uses 729 Battle 2 (2.1 red) on the offensive side, and Feint Long 3 1.3 (black) on the defensive side. Overall, I like this blade for a modern defender-the def side is fairly slow and combined with FL 3, it is very slow, it gives a lot of dwell time on the blade resulting in good control for chopping. I am not an at the table push/blocker so "deception" doesn't mean diddly sh*t to me. Used for the purpose of chop/blocking, the soft blade and soft sponge will fail! Used to accomplish chopping defense; this blade sings: awesome control, spin manipulation, heavy , very heavy under spin!( If one wanted to push block, I guess maybe Cloud and Fog 3 in OX would be effective and squirrely? This is a skill set I dont have perhaps someone else could comment on this style of play. On the offensive side, the Battle 2 already has high throw angle and a lot of gears, used on the Kris this gives a lot of arc and is probably best suited to euro type spinners -the offensive side is fast and can accomplish, fast loop, loop drive, slow loop,, or even forehand chop with great ease. The bad: man this pig is fat-meaning the thickness of the blade is exceptional-as a player who prefers thin blades, this takes a little getting used to. In spite of being oversized, this blade is not heavy, It is very wide, so wide that twiddling is difficult. I suggest getting one of the $1.25 (usd) rubber grips for comfort (because the plastic clip on it is a huge design flaw-why did they do this) ??? Over all a combo blade for ruffly $30.00 usd? awesome...MC

legno con doubleface, diritto rigido indicato x l'attacco, rovescio un po' piu' lento x gioco allround al massimo.
