    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    The exceptionally lightweight design and impressive speed performance are overwhelmingly praised, while opinions vary on spin capability and ball feel. Durability concerns and required adjustments due to the thick blade design are noted as issues.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Exceptional lightweight design enables fast swing switching
    • High repulsion power and speed performance overwhelm opponents
    • Excellent compatibility with lightweight rubbers and great value
    • Low durability - prone to cracks and dents from drops
    • Spin and control performance ratings vary by user preference
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveIncredibly lightweight with improved precision in response and exceptional ease for emergency blocks. Provides impressive speed when striking, and at this affordable price, everyone should try it once. It's now my main racket.
    ▽ CriticalLow wood density causes immediate denting when hitting the table, and worst case, cracking. Not recommended for players who frequently bump the table or throw their racket in frustration. My previous racket would have been undamaged.

      I use it as a shakehand.
      A light racket goes really well with tacky rubber on both sides.
      Give it a try.

      Medium pen driveman (Experience: Less than a year)

      Player reviews

      I used it with tacky rubber on both sides. Since the outer ply has glass fiber, the speed and feel were almost like a carbon racket. On top of that, it's super lightweight, so it's easy to control and I can place the ball wherever I want. For players struggling with weight,
      this is a racket I'd definitely recommend.

      Every chan (Experience: 4〜5 years) Too light!

      Player reviews

      If you want a fast-flying racket that's also light, this one is a sure bet.
      It's a thick blade, so opinions on the feel will vary, but even with max-thickness rubber on both sides it still comes in under 160 grams.
      It's so light that I personally feel a bit off using it, but I'd recommend it to anyone looking for an even lighter racket.
      There's a 5.0 version too, but if you tend to play further back from the table, go with the 7.0 without hesitation.
      Since it's all balsa, you still get decent speed and spin.

      Ebben (Experience: 6〜10 years) Feels like it suits tacky rubber

      Player reviews

      I used this racket for about three years.
      At first I had tension rubber on it,
      but I was told it was making my swing look off because it bounced too much,
      so I switched to a low-bounce tacky rubber.
      Since it doesn't bounce much, if you don't swing all the way through the ball catches in the net. But because the racket is light, you can swing it over and over and still put spin on the ball.

      Novice kid (Experience: 4〜5 years) Lightweight and high-performance

      Player reviews

      It's just really lightweight, so switching between forehand and backhand is quick, and your swing speed goes up too, letting you hit fast shots. I paired it with a lightweight tension rubber (Regalis), and it's not a bad combo, but a speed-oriented tension rubber might actually work better. I think using at least a thick sponge and letting the ball sink in a bit matches well with the racket's stiff rebound.
      The downside is that while the shots are fast, the ball feels light. I think you'd get more powerful table tennis by either using a spin-oriented rubber for stronger spin, or a speed-oriented one for even more speed.
      Among lightweight rackets, this one stands out for its performance, and it's cheap too, so if you're interested, definitely give it a try.
      The even lighter Black Balsa 5.0 is a great racket too.

      Tani Man (Experience: 4〜5 years) Good ball feel

      Player reviews

      I used to have Vega Pro on before! I've got G1 on my forehand! The feel is really good, and above all you can really control your serves with it! Even without a full swing, the topspin drive flies through nicely.
      The C1 I put on the backhand is easy to control and easy to block with,
      and receives land well too! It's light, so chiquita is easy too!! Might be good on the forehand as well.
