NO.1 table tennis review site

FL, 86g
- Right in the middle of the current inner-blade trend!
- Regular-sized blade head, great for backhand-dominant players!
- 5.6mm blade thickness gives it excellent stability!
I think the carbon isn't ALC but something ultra-thin, though it grips the ball more than the ultra-thin carbon you get from brands like Yasaka, and it plays almost like an ALC or ZLC. I'd guess it's because they're using high-quality, dense wood, but honestly I'm not sure. What I can guarantee is that the performance matches the price.
I've only bought one blade from this brand, but the quality is quite high, which explains why it's advertised so much in Table Tennis Kingdom (Takkyu Oukoku).
I'm personally curious about the Maple S Inner and plan to buy one someday.
The top ply is limba, so the feel is guaranteed to be good - I also use Mizuno's Fortius FT-RE, and if you want quickness and a fast feel from a carbon blade, this one is a solid choice. On the other hand, if you're after distance, the thin board means it doesn't bounce much, so while receive is easy, you might start to feel a lack of power once rallies go on.
I think it's the best domestic wood blade out there!
