I have wanted to test this blade for a long time so today was the day. Kasumi Basic ST 86gr. 2 coats of sealer. T05 2.1 and Rakza 7 2.0 for BH. I was fearful the ST. grip would be to small but it just made it under the wire. Think BTY ALC ST. and take away one mm. Comfortable feel but could be a tic bigger. This is a high quality blade for it's price! No sanding needed. Build quality easily on par with some of BTY's higher end blades. Some flex, soft. limba outer plys. (Looks like limba) Not head heavy, balance very good. After a 2 hour session I felt this blade would suit a ton of players but not power players away from table. Looping was a breeze, short game great, blocking a bit vague but still good. Very good dwell but lacked that crisp feel when smashing probably due to blade thickness of 5.8, a little thin for me for an all wood blade. Not an allround blade and not for aggressive attack. It's a " tweener"! Solid OFF- class blade. I really like this blade but think my old Runlox has better kick away from table than Kasumi. Flicks were deadly, short chops controlled, chopping long was not so great thanks to Mr. T05, :) A very good blade for almost everyone except all you speed monsters out there. It would be great to get yogi's opinion of Kasumi's not so current blade. :) Edited by frogger - 10/01/2014 at 10:47pm |

This blade must be to "Basic" to mention. With the new ball a stiffer blade might be better. Ok I will go zone out out my lilly pad. :) |
