    Balance-based carbon with the feel at impact of the wood

    [Five wood + two carbon] to suppress the hard feel at impact of the carbon-specific, plus the power to feel at impact of the wood. Optimal one for the transition from wood racket to carbon racket.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    This carbon racket is characterized by its modest elasticity despite its material, making it suitable for players upgrading from plywood or combining with pimpled rubber. Users seeking speed may find it insufficient.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Restrained carbon-like elasticity
    • Ideal for stepping up from plywood
    • Excellent compatibility with pimpled rubber
    • Hard feel prioritizes control
    • Not suitable for speed-focused play
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveIt feels like the middle ground between Swat and Swat Carbon. Speed and spin performance exceed expectations. As easy to use as Swat, it performs very well with Chinese penhold grip.
    ▽ CriticalNot recommended for players seriously transitioning to carbon rackets. Lacks carbon characteristics and despite the speed-suggesting F1 name, it produces surprisingly slow shots.

      The feel of this blade was hard. Well, it does bounce, but only moderately.
      If you're looking for speed and moving up to a carbon blade, I think this is a good choice.

      The shakehand version of this blade doesn't bounce much, so I think it pairs well with long pips. The long pips rubber I'm using is Hellfire X OX on the back. On the forehand I have Fastarc G1 thick. The feel on contact is hard, and it's easy to control. In particular, control with the long pips is easy, and you still get decent speed. One thing that bothers me is that when I stop the ball with the long pips, it sometimes loses speed and drops more than I expect. If you're thinking about running long pips on the backhand of a shakehand blade, I'd definitely recommend giving this a try.

      Even though it's a carbon racket, it was surprisingly low-bounce.
      The feel is like a plain wood blade.
      Since it doesn't feel carbon-like at all, I think even beginners could use it.
      The name is "F1," so you'd expect it to be fast, but with these specs it's slow enough to get lapped. (lol)
      If you snap through the shot, you can get some really nice hits out of it~♪

      There's really no other way to put it than "just okay."
      If this is going to be your first carbon blade, I can't recommend it.

      I got it (Experience: 4〜5 years) Quite

      Player reviews

      I used it with a Chinese-style penhold grip.

      It was pretty good.

      I've also used the Swat and Swat Carbon, and this one feels roughly in between those two in hardness?

      Both speed and spin were better than I expected.
      I think it's just right for my current level.

      I'm sure once I reach a higher level I'll find things to complain about, but like the Swat, it felt like a pretty easy racket to use.

      For a carbon blade, it really doesn't bounce much.
      If you're thinking of making a full switch to a carbon blade, I can't recommend this one.
      That said, it does bounce more than a regular plywood blade, so if you feel plywood blades don't bounce enough but carbon blades bounce too much, this one might suit you.
      Hope this helps.

      For a carbon blade, it barely bounces at all — it's on the calm side. I think it's well suited as a step up from wood.
