Hurricane 3 NEO 2.15 (FH, fresh)
Tenergy 05 (BH, 2 years old)
Prior blade was Gambler Mega Weave
Control 9.5/10
Speed 8.5/10
Vibration 3/10 (just a slight bit)
Over the table drives are really controlled.
Touch game was everything you could ask for. Controlled enough for tagging the top of the net.
Compared to the Mega Weave, I would say it has more control and is slightly on the speedier side.

I actually own a BTY TBS AC, so I have a very good point of reference. This blade has a higher speed with more control as well as a lighter weight than the TBS butterfly, I would venture to say it is all upsides when compared to the TBS. It does have a bigger head that can be a positive or a negative depending on the player also it has more feel and vibration, again this can be considered a positive or a negative depending on the player. I gave this blade 5 stars, clearly the best composite by Gambler to date. when compared to the price of the TBS it is deserving of more stars.

This is my first carbon blade and I love it. I have Gambler Burst Thors Hammer Sponge on both sides.My topspins and serves improved immediately. It has nice feel on touch shots n flicks. The overall pace on my shots has increased with seemingly the same effort for the stroke.The assemled bat arrived in 3 days. Rubbers were trimmed perfectly with edge tape.Throw in a nice blue dragon case and a nice lightweight Gambler shirt and its a great value. I tried several high priced bats of friends with name brand rubbers etc and I feel my AC Hero is comparable and so do my friends who have tried it!. Tom was also very helpful in answering various questions I had. Overall an excellent purchase that I'm pleased with.
