    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly rated as a versatile racket for beginners to intermediate players, though its weight and limited spin performance become drawbacks as players improve. Multiple reviewers note that racket feel changes significantly depending on rubber selection.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent control performance, easy for beginners to handle
    • Great cost-performance ratio relative to price
    • Racket itself is heavy but offers flex and bounce
    • Racket performance varies greatly with rubber choice
    • Lacks spin and speed when players reach intermediate level
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveA racket recommended for beginners to intermediate players. Both forehand and backhand shots land stably, control is easy, and it's very user-friendly. The accessible price is also appealing.
    ▽ CriticalFor a beginner racket it's quite heavy, and as you progress, the limited rotation and speed become limiting, requiring eventual upgrade.

      GT （Experience：２〜３ years） Good for the first racket

      Player reviews

      At first I used a sliver EL. About half a year, the rubber became useless, so I changed the front of the table to Rosena. The racquet for beginners is easier to use than the sliver EL.

      I used slab EL on both sides, but I thought it was for beginners. I thought it was enough because the control was easy to hit even if I just started playing ping-pong, but it doesn't take a lot of rotation, and it becomes unsatisfactory as I use it. Recommended for beginners.

      Ituyu （Experience：Less than a year） By the rubber

      Player reviews

      The racket itself boils well. However, when I put the slaver EL, it is not much. It does not fly so much rubber
      That's why. The current mark V is nice.
      Would you like a soft rubber sponge?
