    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    This racket is characterized by its lightweight and hard feel, suitable for penhold players and attacking styles with short pimple rubbers. It is widely supported by beginners to intermediate players for its good value and ease of use.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Lightweight and easy to swing through, suitable for players without much power
    • Excellent compatibility with inverted and short pimple rubbers
    • Hard hitting feel with fast initial speed and excellent control performance
    • Appropriate bounce and quick ball release from smoked wood processing
    • Well-balanced performance for the price
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveGreat balance of performance for the price, with a small face that feels good in hand even for people with smaller hands. Lightweight with fast swing-through and racket changes, making it ideal for penhold players.
    ▽ CriticalNot suitable for absorbing opponent's power in defensive shots, requiring aggressive attacking play. Not recommended for backhand loops with inverted rubber, and can produce a hollow popping sound when hitting.

      Shoshinsha Kozou (Experience: 4〜5 years) Not bad

      Player reviews

      The blade is about as small as a kids' racket, but it's lightweight to make up for it.
      The feel was less bouncy than I expected, honestly a bit of a letdown. But the control is good, so I think you get the most out of this blade by swinging freely. Meet shots and topspin drives are easy to do, and since the blade is small, the short game is smooth too.
      That said, the bounce is still weak, so I think it balances out better if you use a tension rubber with at least "thick" sponge.
      Intermediate players might find it a bit lacking - the Swat has a better balance.
      I'd recommend this as a first racket for beginners and kids.

      It's not the kind of blade that has one standout strength and is otherwise just average, so it might be good for beginners.

      Tatsudeko (Experience: 2〜3 years) Good balance

      Player reviews

      Heat-treated blades will be a matter of taste, but this one suits me.
      I bought the Chinese penhold version for my wife.
      I'm currently using the shakehand version myself.

      The rebound is decent, and both my wife and I like the harder feel.
      It's hard, but it doesn't fly out of control like a carbon blade, so beginners and intermediate players can use it without issue.
      If you don't like a soft feel even from a 5-ply blade, give this one a try.
      It's also inexpensive, which is easy on the wallet.

      Anbisu_1118 (Experience: Less than a year) Vibrates in the hand!!

      Player reviews

      This was the first racket I bought for myself, though it's broken now...
      The smash speed is insane. The spin is great too.
      And it's light! Even with thick rubber on both sides, it's super light — 165g!!
      As someone without much arm strength, that made me really happy!!

      Tatsudeko (Experience: 2〜3 years) Excellent, easy-to-control blade

      Player reviews

      It's not as fast as I expected, but the rebound is still good enough that shots tend to fly a bit long.
      When you catch the ball properly and hit through it, you get a stable, powerful shot.
      I think it's a blade that's very easy to control.
      It also seems to pair well with Speedy P.O. rubber.

      Kisaragi Jorgen (Experience: 2〜3 years) Great with short pips

      Player reviews

      I used this when I was in my school's table tennis club. Put short pips on it and it becomes the strongest, fastest blade around.
      If you want a Chinese penhold blade, I'd recommend the Alsnova.
