    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    This outer carbon blade delivers excellent speed and drive distance while maintaining ease of grip and playability through thoughtful handle design. Widely praised by advanced to intermediate players, its performance varies significantly based on rubber compatibility, particularly with sticky-type and Kyohyo-series rubbers.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • High drive distance and speed from outer carbon material
    • Carefully designed grip shape ensures comfortable handling
    • Outstanding compatibility with sticky rubbers
    • Excellent balance between ball retention and control
    • Facilitates short-range techniques like flicks and chiquita
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveIt grabs yet flies smoothly and is extremely easy to use. Back-hand driving with spin rotation is particularly comfortable, more straightforward swing-through than Viscaria with smoother shot transitions.
    ▽ CriticalDifficult for beginners or under-trained players to master. Fast ball release and hardness require adjustment for serve and short-range techniques. Not recommended for those lacking confidence in swing speed or technique fundamentals.

      Hot spring table tennis (Experience: 6〜10 years) The best grip

      Player reviews

      This is the second carbon blade I've used. The handle made the backhand swing super easy, and it was fantastic! It took a while to get used to, but it's a really great blade.

      Mysterious old man x (Experience: 6〜10 years) Goes well with tacky rubber

      Player reviews

      Using Hurricane Neo 3 Blue Sponge on the forehand and Tenergy 05 max thickness on the backhand. My first impression is that it pairs way too well with tacky rubber. It flies fast but is really stable, so fine ball touch feels amazing. By the way, tension rubber suits the backhand best. There's Omega, Fastarc, and Tenergy to choose from, but for me Tenergy 05 feels the best.

      No name (Experience: 4〜5 years) ALC after all

      Player reviews

      I switched over from an Inner Force Layer ALC and the speed has gone up quite a bit. The control is more satisfying than I expected too. The short game was really easy to play, so why not give it a try? For rubbers, I'm going with the reliable, trusted 05 and 80.

      Use of arylate carbon (Experience: 4〜5 years) Easy to use

      Player reviews

      This is the 4th blade I've had since starting table tennis, and I finally found the one. When I hit with it, the power of the arylate carbon is insane!
      I put G1 on the forehand and C1 on the backhand and I'm really happy with it❗ Also, even though the handle is thick, the backhand is surprisingly easy to swing!

      Ping pong performer (Experience: 6〜10 years)

      Player reviews

      I switched over from an all-wood blade.
      First impression: it flies quite a bit. Makes sense since it has carbon in it. Techniques like loop drives were hard to pull off, since the ball flies off before you can put spin on it.
      For the forehand rubber, tacky works fine, or really any rubber that makes it easy to generate spin. For the backhand, go with whatever you prefer. The backhand stability is amazing.

      Incarnation of Chinese women (Experience: 6〜10 years) Good grip

      Player reviews

      The ball comes off the blade fast, so speed is easy to generate. Which means I think how you make up for spin is really important with this blade. It's no problem for speed drives, but if you're a looper, you should definitely go with a tacky rubber or a hard spin-oriented tension rubber. It pairs well with Hurricane Neo 3 too, but I personally found the Q4 easier to handle. The Q4 isn't crazy hard, so you can hit stable, heavy shots with it, and it makes underspin techniques easier. For the backhand, if you're going with the Tenergy line, 80 or 05 is good. If you're a player who often makes thin contact on your chiquita, 05 would be better. I'm curious how it'll pair with the upcoming Dignics 05, but even with 05 you can hit more than enough of a shot. For serves, tacky rubber unsurprisingly gives the most bite. If you want to really rip your serves, go with tacky rubber. Sticking it on a 5-ply blade would give even more bite, of course. Either way, it's definitely a good blade. It's not too expensive either, and the handle is easy to swing on both wings. The feel isn't going to suit everyone, so I'd recommend breaking it in with an inner-ply blade first.

      Tena (Experience: 11〜20 years) Same as Viscaria, different design

      Player reviews

      A junior teammate of mine had one, so I got to try it. Rather than being similar to the Viscaria, it was really just a different design. But my little finger hits the badge on the handle, so it feels a bit slippery.
      If you like Zhang Jike, I think it's worth trying.
      Though the Zhang Jike is basically like the Viscaria...
