    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe striking feel is excellent with a well-balanced elasticity that is stronger than All-round Evolution but not as bouncy as Celerol Wood, filling a previously non-existent position in the product lineup.

      The grip is on the thin side, so it's easy to hold, and it's an easy blade to recommend to elementary and middle schoolers who are just starting out.
      It has a low, slightly muffled sound on contact, a feel that resonates well in your hand, holds the ball a bit longer than average, and the design — a simple red-and-black two-tone — looks nice and puts you in a good mood.
      It doesn't really have any standout characteristics, but because there's not much excess to it, it doesn't flex oddly in a way that makes flat hitting awkward, and the ball doesn't shoot out straight before spin can grab it, so it feels like a well-rounded blade in a very Yasaka kind of way.

      For beginners it's fine to pair with Mark V, but if you're learning table tennis today, I think it's better to start with a lighter tension rubber like Rigan or GTT45.

      MUJI v (middle) A straight person Super easy to use!

      Player reviews

      I use it with Mark V on it, and it's really easy to use! It's great for mastering the fundamentals. My basic technique has improved a huge amount. (The control is so good and it's hard to miss, so as a result you end up practicing longer, which makes you better.)
      It doesn't fly much, so it's easy to put spin on, and if you're someone who can already hit fast, it's easy to vary your speed, so I think that's a plus too. In any case, it's just really easy to use!

      Shimajiro's Wow! (Experience: Less than a year) The feel is really great

      Player reviews

      The feel is really great, and the sound is amazing too!
      I can chop with it too (backhand chops are really easy with this).
      It pairs really well with Mark V, and the speed and control are outstanding.
      It's a bit fast, so you might not get used to it right away, but I think you'll adjust with practice. I've been using it for about 4 months now and have zero complaints.

      If you're just starting out in table tennis, I'd recommend this blade.

      Chubby (Experience: More than 20 years) Too good for beginners!

      Player reviews

      This is a well-balanced, properly "Yasaka" blade - it's been a while since one like this came along.

      The bounce is a bit stronger than the All-Round Evolution.

      And that amount of bounce is just perfect.

      For feel, spin, and control, the All-Round Evolution is good, but its bounce is admittedly weak. On the other hand, something like the Cellulose Wood or the Waldner OFF bounces a bit too much. The Korbel is too heavy.

      This blade hits that sweet spot that always seemed like it should exist but never quite did.
      It fills the gap in the lineup of 5-ply blades.

      The feel on contact is satisfying in that way that really says "made in Sweden."

      Put a firmer tension rubber on it, and it has more than enough performance for advanced players too.
      If more 5-ply blades like this come out, that alone should help raise the level of junior high players.
