      Player reviews

      I used this for about two years back in high school when I was a drive-oriented player.
      First off, it's black! It looks so cool! (I'll admit about 70% of why I used it back then was just this.)
      The top layer peels easily, so applying something like racket coating is a must.

      The feel is a bit on the hard side.
      The speed isn't that high, it's pretty middle-of-the-road.
      It holds the ball well and it's easy to put spin on, so drives are really easy to pull off.
      The short game was flawless too.

      I think it works well across a wide range, from intermediate players up to advanced players who play close to mid-distance and prioritize stable drives.

      As for rubber pairings, the forehand in particular matches very well with spin-oriented tension rubbers or Chinese tacky rubbers, and I felt the two brought out the best in each other.
      I also tried it briefly with short pips, but I felt that combination wasn't very good.

      Tsukasa The grip is flat

      Player reviews

      The flat grip is its defining feature (lol)
      Since it's a wood-only blade it doesn't have much speed, so blocking is easy, but it might not suit players who like to hammer away with heavy topspin drives.
      It's more for players who prioritize blocking and stopping.
