Just bought this blade at the US Open. I usually play with Off - blades, so wanted to give this a try. I put on Joola Energy Extra and Joola Express and played for a couple of hours with it. It is rated as an Off- blade with a hard feel. Don't know why it got listed as "hard" when in actuality it feels medium to medium-soft. The blade was more like an All Allround blade so it played a little too slow for me. It did have good control, and was not too heavy, but a little slow for an Off - blade, so suggest you try something else if you're looking for a slightly faster blade.
