The ball flies in a straight line, so blocking and counter-hitting are easy. It's a little harder to put spin on the ball, but since it's lightweight you can swing through fully and make up for it. Recommended for players who fight from close to mid-distance! Great value for money too!

It's super light and easy to swing.
When you first start using it, it feels light all over,
but once you get used to it, you start to feel the weight in the head.
On the forehand I've got XIOM's Vega Europe (medium-thick),
and on the backhand Yasaka's Rakza 7 (medium-thick, I think).
I'm pretty happy with
this combination.
Even with a grip tape wrapped around the handle,
it doesn't bother me at all.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I switched over from a 5-ply blade.
Since it's a special-material blade, it's a bit too bouncy and hard to control.

This racket's biggest strength is that it's so light you never have to worry about the rubber's weight.
The top ply uses glass fiber, and the feel is basically like carbon (lol).
The ball leaves the racket very quickly, so I'd recommend it more for hitting/flicking-style play and matching your opponent's shots rather than for heavy spin play.
Opinions are split on the feel — you barely get any vibration in your hand — but personally I find defensive techniques like blocking easier, since you don't get pushed around by your opponent's spin or hard shots.
Why not give it a try if you're into close-to-the-table fast attack or reverse-pips styles?Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard

This is really easy to use and great.
First off, what surprised me was how light it is. When I first picked up just the blade, I thought, wait, is there styrofoam in this!? I thought it might be too light to be usable, but once I put the rubber on, it just felt a little lighter than a normal racket, and that worry went away.
Then, when I served during a forehand rally, it felt great. And as the rally goes on, if you're not careful, the speed just keeps climbing. So you need to control your power there, which is why I wouldn't recommend it for beginners.
Spin is also really easy to generate.
One thing that bugs me is that when I smash, the ball is fast, but there isn't much power behind it, so it sometimes gets blocked and returned.
Once you get used to it, I think it's a really good racket. It's a really good racket.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

The racket is incredibly light, so switching directions is really easy. It also has a lot of bounce, so when I hit a topspin drive I don't have to think about speed — I can just focus on spin, which makes it much easier to hit. I play mid-to-far from the table, chopping on the backhand and driving on the forehand, and even from far back, both my drives and chops go in consistently. Because the racket is light, it's easy to flip over, and I can swing a lot faster than with a normal racket. There's almost no vibration in my hand, but I can still clearly feel the ball sink into the sponge — I can tell exactly when I've got a grip on the ball versus when I've just flicked it off.

This racket has an interesting feel.
That said, the blade is a bit thick, so when I swing it the same way I did with my old racket (Butterfly Reygando), I end up catching the ball on the edge and missing more often.
Still, it's light and really easy to swing.
It's affordable too, so I think it's worth trying.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard
