XVT Cannon

My first blade called Cannon "Vivace" and is similar to this Cannon !!! I only played this blade for a short time, because it seemed too fast and too uncontrolled. However, I first played with very soft rubbers, which in my opinion are not suitable for this (rather soft) blade. With harder rubbers (at least medium hard), the feel is much more pleasant and direct and controlled. But nevertheless the Cannon is a bit too fast for me. ( - ... because I've only been playing table tennis for 43 years and I´m still a beginner. ;-))

Exactly the same blade as the old xi enting Apache blade, with 2 red ALC layers and 7 wood ply - in fact it's just a rebranded Apache. The walnut top wood is good for feelings, and it's only 6.0mm thick, still some flex left. Great combination of speed and control. Plays well with soft sponge rubbers. I tried the Skitt Terminator on both sides, and it performs quite well in every aspect. With a better rubber, it will outperform a $100 BTY blade.
