It's one of my favorites because it has a solid wood feel, and little if no vibration, due to its Bass wood component. Can you find a blade of the same attractive price without vibration? It weights 91g, according to manufacturer's specification, but feels a bit heavy if you are used to blades 10g or more lighter. The wood on the handle smells muddy. Use wood cleaner several times and it's gone. Overall, it's a good blade for close to the table players who enjoy placing the ball with control.
