Soulspin Roots Spin Offensive 3

Wonderful blade provides touch and power.

All wood Spruce offensive blade around 7MM thick with excellent spin and rebound. Good control but not as much as the Roots Basalt, excellent on serves, nice touch shots around the net, creates a nasty curving spin on strong topspin shots. Recommend heavier rubbers such as MX-S, P12, that works well with brushing strokes. SoulSpin can generate various blade weights by using heavy or light weight stock depending on your requirement plus handle grip weight can also be part of the final decision, my blade came in 83 grams with the K1/K2 handle grip options which were the lightest available. Handle grip options on both straight and Fl are varied from thick to thin in a variety of colors and woods. Workmanship is outstanding no hard edges to sand and the 3D handle creates a beautiful finished blade. The blade feels like part of your hand and generates a strong ball rotation without much effort. I think that is the one aspect of the blade I was surprised about was how much spin and power I could generate on the Plastic Ball without the need for composite material in the blade. UPDATE: The handle design has proved to be a significant upgrade to my game as I no longer need to change grip position from FH to BH and the continuos flow of the handle from head to ft provides a natural feeling that is more relaxing then conventional grips with thumb cuts either slight or deep. The blade is a jewel well worth the money.
