    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Most reviewers highly praise its spin and control performance. Although speed is modest, the racket is widely recognized for its stability and ease of use, particularly well-suited for penhold grip styles and backhand attack playing patterns.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent spin generation and shot control
    • Stable feel with five-ply construction
    • Ideal for penhold backhand attacking tactics
    • Modest speed but favored by spin-focused players
    • Makes techniques like chiquita easy to execute
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe ball retention is excellent and spin is easy to apply. With five-ply construction, it offers sufficient bounce and impressive spin-making ability, providing a controlled and manageable feel.
    ▽ CriticalSpeed is somewhat inferior to other rackets. Additionally, the lack of Japanese distributors makes purchasing difficult and the price is relatively high.

      If you play mid-pen with inverted rubber on both sides, this is a blade you'll want to try at least once. I used the Chinese-penhold version at 85g.
      First, the grip is fantastic — it's wide, almost like it was made for someone who holds the racket the way Wang Hao does. Some Chinese-style penholds these days have thin straight grips, but with those the backhand isn't stable and you can't get much power. The larger area where your index finger rests is nice too.
      For a 5-ply blade, it has plenty of bounce and spin is easy to generate — great. The feel isn't too hard either, so it's easy to handle.

      My impression was that it's like a power-upgraded version of STIGA's Offensive.
      There don't seem to be many light individual blades, so if that doesn't bother you, it's a great blade.

      I was using this with tension rubber

      It held the ball really well and was easy to put spin on - overall a very easy-to-use blade
      The speed is a bit lower compared to inner-carbon blades, but I didn't feel it lacked much
      Personally, I think the blade just looks really cool!!
      It'd be great if it had the JTTA stamp, but from what I've seen, finding one that actually has it is pretty rare

      If you've got some money to spare, I think it's worth trying

      Honestly, this is a really good blade.
      The standout feature is that spin comes on easily and ball control is very easy.
      That said, the bounce isn't great.
      Also, the blade head is a bit larger, so you don't get pushed around by the opponent's power, making blocks and counters very easy, and if you commit to a full swing you can hit a really good ball.
      It's also a 5-ply with a thin blade thickness in the 5mm range, so stability is outstanding too.
      So I'd recommend it for people who prioritize stability, people who prioritize spin, or Wang Hao fans (lol).
      This blade comes in both shakehand and Chinese-penhold versions, so it's one I'd recommend for either grip.

      This is the easiest blade to use in the series. Its speed/bounce is just average within the series, but compared to other blades it's actually quite fast. Even beginner-to-intermediate players can handle it well!

      Do you know Wang Hao?

      He's a player who uses his backhand on the reverse side almost all the time.

      He's a Chinese player, so he boasts serious strength.

      This racket is his model racket. It's easy to use.

      Since it's a DHS product, it's safest to pair it with something from the Hurricane series.

      The backhand side is easy to hit with. So even something like a backhand chiquita turns out to be surprisingly easy to pull off.

      The downside is that it's hard to buy if there's no distributor in Japan.

      Also, it's a bit pricey.

      I switched from a Chinese ULC.

      I can hit drives with a lot of spin. The speed isn't that great, but I've been able to hit powerful drives with delicate ball control.

      When I tried chiquita, I got it — it's really easy to do chiquita with this!

      The short game got easier, so it's become a favorite.
