User Reviews (from internet/newsgroups): The T-2 is a nice blade with a great
finish. It's feather light, but still seems to be dense enough to really drive
the ball well. It's a very fast up close to the table and is pretty consistent
in the short game. If you are used to traditional carbon feel blades and you
like to play a very light blade this is a good one. Because it's a traditional
carbon feel blade you'll find that it doesn't have a great deal of dwell time,
and you do lose alot of springiness that you get out of all woods. Clearly you
can drive the ball much better though. The throw of this blade is a fair bit
lower than traditional all woods too. I like this blade cause it did help with
the weight issue that I was having due to having a love of high tack high
control Chinese rubbers. This blade cut off 12 gm's off of my last setup with
ease. The long average thickness Straight handle is really comfortable, and the
detail in the woodgrains that you can see in the end of the handle is just
amazing. There is one drawback to this blade. The outter plies are very thin. I
guess they are like .7 mm thick. The cut of Cypress wood is great but clearly
too thin. If you strike the table you can chip it badly and with relative ease.
Also you should put a very thin layer of varnish on the surface because of how
thin it is. I thought that the carbon being so close to the surface of the blade
was going to make it tough to play a close to the table touch game, but it
hasn't been even a slightly difficult change, so don't be affraid of that. For
the money, you can't hardly get a better traditional carbon feeling blade.
