    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    The unique feel and excellent ball retention of the hinoki 3-ply wood are highly appreciated, making it especially suitable for aggressive cut players and technical style athletes. However, it requires adjustment period, and racket choice and swing technique are crucial.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Distinctive hinoki feel with sharp strike and excellent ball retention
    • Strong drive extension with easy spin application and stable trajectory
    • Cuts are linear and sink low for returning shots
    • Thick blade absorbs opponent's power for stability
    • Requires practice to master, rubber selection is important
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe pleasant hinoki-specific striking feel coexists with quick ball release and good ball control of wooden plywood, creating a seemingly contradictory racket. With persistent use, you'll discover its true merits.
    ▽ CriticalThe rounded blade makes it difficult to handle with aggressive strokes, causing many over-mistakes during the learning period. Counters are particularly challenging.

      Backhand cutman （Experience：６〜１０ years） I can't use any other racket anymore! Highly recommended for offensive players too!

      Player reviews

      To put it simply, I can't use any other racket.
      I'm an offensive-minded defensive player with inverted rubbers on both sides, and what I appreciate most is not only the offensive power but also the stability when cutting. While some reviews mention the ball flying too far, unless you're doing a deep, slightly older style of cutting, it actually doesn't fly that far. The ball feels like it's flying downwards, resulting in a low trajectory. Also, the ball sinks slightly upon landing, making it very difficult to hit. The ball leaves the racket faster than other defensive rackets, making it less susceptible to spin and easier to control, which I believe is one of the factors contributing to its control.
      When attacking, it's easy to apply spin, and the ball flies with a stable trajectory. Because it's a cypress wood racket, it's also easy to execute straight attacks like smashes. It's recommended for players who hit with a thicker contact, and therefore, I felt it paired well with the latest sticky tension rubbers.
      It's extremely stable, making it more than sufficient for intermediate offensive players. In fact, offensive players should use it.
      This is a racket I truly recommend for inverted rubber defensive players, and I want everyone to try it. (Though I wouldn't want to play against someone using it.)
