NO.1 table tennis review site

Even if you try to put rubber on both sides of a Japanese style racket, you will run into the following obstacles:

- The center of gravity is too close to the tip

- The board is too thick to be used on both sides

- Many double-sided Japanese style rackets do not bounce

- There are no options in the first place

This racket has an oval shape, so the center of gravity is closer to the hand and it is 6mm thick, so you can swing it firmly even with rubber on both sides.
The racket itself weighs 73g, and even with rubber on both sides it is only 159g, so it is easy to operate and improves the quality of light hits.
Compared to the Chinese style, the wrist is more effective, so the head turns and the back drive runs well.
Since it is a Japanese style rather than a reverse style, the thumb is stable in the back short, and the range of reception is also wider.
The ball feels hard when hit, leaves the racket quickly, and the amount of rotation may be modest, but it stops firmly. The outer carbon gives it perfect bounce.
Above all, Japanese style rackets are cool!
Since I started playing the backhand style, my only option has been the Chinese style, but now I am returning to the Japanese style for the first time in 20 years.
