Shogun (Experience: 11〜20 years) Balance-focused, made for beginners

1. It bounces more than a typical entry-level or beginner blade - my impression is a bit more than the Korbel.
2. The trajectory is a little flat/straight. I'd recommend a rubber that gives more of an arc (maybe something like Rozena).
3. There seems to be some variation in weight between units. Mine was around 87g.
4. Made in Japan, and the build quality is good (though it doesn't feel especially premium).
5. The feel on contact isn't great - the vibration is weak and it feels a bit dull/mushy. Not suited to anyone who likes a wood-like feel.
6. The grip feels slightly on the thin side. It's closer to the SK7 than to the Korbel or SK Carbon - maybe close to a Timo Boll Flare.Overall, this suits beginners through intermediate players. For beginners, it's a blade you can use for a long time if you start with something like Sriver or Roundell and then step up to Rozena, etc. Technically it has solid performance, so that gets a thumbs-up.
That said, personally I find it lacking because the wood-like feel is weak. It's lighter than the Korbel, so for beginners either the Mace or this one would work.
I don't think this is a blade intermediate-or-above players would specifically go out of their way to buy. Just for reference.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

This blade flies about as much as an inner-carbon or a 7-ply all-wood blade. The feel is harder than an inner-carbon, though. That makes aggressive techniques like counters and topspin drives easy to pull off, and since it's a plywood blade the arc is also nice and high. Because it's a hard blade, it doesn't pair that well with soft rubbers. It's cheap and it flies well, so I think it offers excellent value for money.

The grip is thin like the Korbel's, but narrower than the Korbel's. It's a well-balanced blade that's lighter than the Korbel and flies a bit more. For an inverted-inverted drive player, I'd recommend this over the Korbel. If you prefer a heavier blade, or you're a chopper or use unusual rubbers, I'd recommend going with the Korbel instead.

L (Experience: 4〜5 years) Hmm, what is this

*This is just my personal take before release.
First off, I think this overlaps a bit with the Mace Advance and the Korbel. All three are 5-ply blades. The Mace Advance is 6.7mm thick, the Korbel is 5.9mm, and the Falsioma is 6.0mm. Bounce-wise it feels like Mace Advance > Falsioma ≒ Korbel. Honestly, I'm not sure I'd spend 6,600 yen on this one. If I were buying, I'd get the Korbel instead. The Mace Advance is also the lightest of the three, and the Korbel has top-class stability for a 5-ply blade. I don't think it's a bad blade at all, but I would have liked to see a 7-ply version.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
