I've got the SR and SK so far. I plan on getting the V series as well, if that tells you anything! 

Very nice grips, wonderful appearance to the entire blade. Top notch butterfly quality. 

Playing wise... the SR is pretty stiff and solid. Softer than a Mazunov. Close to the Tibhar Samsonov Black Edition. Similar to the Ebenholz 7 in feel, though a bit softer still. Not as stiff as a Timo Boll W7. Harder/stiffer than the Liu Shiwen by far. Better feel than an Axelo, and higher dwell time. I'll throw out a bunch of blades here in case anyone has used any of them to compare, rather than "it's hard". 


The SK is basically the same, but with more control and a bit less speed. I prefer it over the SR for all-round play. The SK has a softer, 'noob-friendly' appeal. Maybe ALL+ in speed or so. More forgiving, with a strong jack of all trades vibe (leaning toward offensive play). While the SR seems more specialized for something like an Oh Sang Eun style of play, block oriented but still with enough feeling to loop when needed. If you like to loop more than drive/hit/block, then I don't think you'd enjoy the SR all that much -- unless you happen to prefer stiffer blades. 

My SR weighed in at 96 grams, so it is a bit heavier than the SK. Backhand flips/flicks all work VERY nicely on either blade. The SK works better for chopping as it isn't quite as stiff. Still, neither is overly chop friendly in comparison to something like a Defplay senso. I've got about 18 blades in my arsenal, and the hadraws are easily in the top 3. 

The handles are very smooth... perhaps too smooth for some! Once you get a bit of sweat going, they stick in nicely. 

I imagine the V series is similar, though a bit slower/flexier given the 5 ply. I myself prefer the sturdy feeling resulting from 7 ply blades.

The new Kenta blade:

What he is talking about Angry no subs? Looks like the handle is thinner, but this interesting "thing" - some weight maybe like a balancer is interesting. Any way i'm waiting Freitas to introduce his blade.
