Equipment Review Chen Weixing Blade By Tom Nguyen, Equipment Junkie
The Chen Weixing blade is named after one of the greatest chopper/loopers in the game today. Former Chinese Team Member Chen Weixing is known both for his legendary defense and for his looping attack. This style of play requires a defensive blade with great control for chopping, and yet faster then a typical defensive blade. The blade is approximately 90grams, and composed of Limba, Koto, Black-Cloth, & Kiri.
With the larger head, it gives you lots and lots of surface area for your chopping game. It also is very good for pick-hitting. The Black-Cloth Layers contribute to the extra control. In terms of speed, I would categorize this blade as Medium, which for a defensive blade, is fast. So if you are trying to modernize your defensive game, this is perfect blade for you! |
