This really is TSP for you.
For the price, the balance of performance is really great.
The head is on the smaller side and the grip is slim, so even with my small hands, it feels really good to hold.
It's also light — mine weighed 74 grams — so swinging through and switching between shots is fast.
It's perfect for Chinese penhold users.
The feel is a bit hard, the initial speed is fast, and the trajectory is fairly flat, but since the bounce is just right, control is good.
I'd recommend it for a close-to-the-table style that pushes at a fast pace.
As for rubber, it seems to go well with short pips of course, but also with fast inverted rubber at medium thickness.
If you're a Chinese penhold player with a close-to-the-table style, you might not need anything more expensive than this.
I'd also recommend it for kids and women.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Masato Tanaka 00 Just the right hardness

Since it's smoke-treated, it still has good bounce.
On top of that, it doesn't get overpowered by the opponent's spin, so it seems like it would suit short pips too.
It's also on the lighter side, so it seems like something I could recommend to people who aren't confident in their power.

Good points
- Lightweight
- Swings through nicely
- Doesn't fly too far (stays in well)
- Ball comes off cleanly
- Just the right amount of rebound
- Some sensation comes through to the handPoints of concern
- The sound and feel on contact are a bit dull/hollow
- Not well suited to using or absorbing the opponent's power
(basically, unless you're the one initiating the shot, you can't create variation and it tends to become monotonous)
- When you're pushed off the table or have to lift the ball from below, instead of grazing it you end up more just laying it on the ball (you can't expect much spin)Overall this suits short-pips players.
I tried moving from single-sided short pips on Japanese penhold to short-pips/inverted on Chinese penhold, and thanks to the light weight the transition was easy.
The change in feel from using rubber on both sides (unlike single-sided, you lose that "pass-through" feeling and the contact feel becomes a bit more muted) also felt relatively minor.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

You can swing through it plenty well even with mid-penhold inverted-on-both-sides. Also, since the wood is processed, it still gives you good bounce. If you're not a fan of special-material blades but still want some resilience, this one's for you!

Great value for money!
Also, the combination of its just-right lightness with a softer tension rubber is an outstanding match!
I really want anyone who's struggling with their game (and looking for equipment that suits them) to at least consider giving this a try!!

Kotaro (Experience: ６〜１０ years) For short-pips play

Like other reviewers have mentioned, my impression is that this blade suits short pips and half-long pips rubber. The feel is hard, and the ball comes off very quickly. It's not the type that gives you a lot of distance, so it's probably not a good fit for players who want to do inverted-rubber topspin rallies.
For shakehand players, I'd picture a style with inverted rubber on the forehand for loop drives and hitting, and short pips or half-long pips on the backhand for hitting and knuckle balls.
For mid-penhold, I think it suits short pips close-to-the-table attacking on the front, with the lighter feel working well on the reverse side too.
There's one quirk to this blade: it's a bit thick, and it doesn't flex. Because of that, long pips rubber takes some skill to absorb the ball's power with. It's more about bending the pips to let the power dissipate while stopping the opponent's ball with the center of the pip. Adding side tape balancers around the edge would help.
This blade would also suit a backhand player who blocks with a short, punchy stroke.
It's a bit of a specialized tool for a first blade, so I think it's a good option if you're aiming for a speed-over-spin style of table tennis.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

It's just really light. I think this blade suits short pips well. With inverted rubber, it feels like the rubber's natural grip on the ball is toned down a bit.
