Gishio (Experience: ４〜５ years) The best racket

It bounces way more than you'd expect for a 5-ply blade.
And it's really light too.
Hitting against backspin was especially easy.
I think it pairs well with tacky rubber.
Since it's light, you can swing it just fine even with a heavier rubber on it.
Serves were easy to produce too.
Personally, I thought it was a really great racket.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Among non-carbon blades, this one bounces well.
But since it's not carbon, it also grips the ball, so I think it's a very well-balanced racket.
Maybe because it's on the softer side, it's easy to pair with hard rubbers like Turbo Blue too.
Personally I think it's really similar to the Swat.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Yaa~mo (Experience: ２〜３ years) All-wood, cheap, but bounces well

Even being all-wood, it bounces really well.
I also like that there's no printing at all on the side where you glue the rubber, and that the product logo on the grip is small. You can catch a glimpse of a philosophy of not letting unnecessary things hurt performance.
At my skill level, I can use it with no problems at all.
That said, I also put on a rubber I have no experience with, so to avoid mistaking the rubber's effect for the racket's own performance and tendencies, I'll hold off on a detailed evaluation.
Still, it's amazing that you can get a racket like this at this price.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Ping-pong (Experience: １１〜２０ years) A friend's trial hit

My impression after getting to hit with it:
it grips the ball, but it's hard to put spin on.
Since it grips the ball just a middling amount on flat hits, the power ends up middling too.
It feels like it's suited to beginners through intermediate players.
It's not specialized in anything in particular, but I felt it could work as a first racket.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

It has the good ball-gripping feel of a 5-ply blade, but there's no lack of speed or anything like that. I use short pips, and I think it pairs well with them. If you want a quick release off the ball, you might find it lacking. I'm the type who wants to hit with my own power, and I wanted that good grip on the ball, so this was a perfect match for me. Even swinging straight forward, the ball doesn't feel like it drops off, so I think you can swing all-out even in match situations.

A racket that strikes just the right balance between a 7-ply and a 5-ply. It has a high-pitched sound on contact, a good feel, and plenty of speed, and I never really struggled with the short game, counters, or push hits. I feel like the amount of spin is a bit lacking, but the stability and speed more than make up for it, so it covers that well enough. I've come across a racket with really great performance for the cost.
