This blade is very good for intermediate players. This was my first blade in my setup and really improved my game. It is an offensive - which means it is for an all round offensive player.

The rubber I suggest putting on it should be offensive (this increases its speed). The handle is hollow like most stiga to make them as light as some one would want. I suggest buying this blade for intermediate players, but if you want it just buy it. I hope this review explains the key factors.

Extra: Two thirds of the handle can be twisted, but be careful, this may break the handle itself.
