Kido 7P offers a classic wood feel with good feedback, especially in the short game. It feels solid without being overly stiff or mushy, providing a balanced tactile connection that players appreciate for both touch and power shots.

The 7-ply wood construction provides good dwell time, allowing players to grip the ball effectively for generating spin. This is particularly beneficial for looping and heavy topspin shots.

Vibration is moderate with this blade. It produces a characteristic woody sound on contact and may resonate more with very hard rubbers, but it is generally not described as excessively or uncomfortably vibratory.
