    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly praised for its exceptional speed and power from the 7-ply design, though weight and difficulty of use remain challenges. Many users regret this excellent racket being discontinued.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • 7-ply structure with relatively soft ball feel and stability
    • Exceptional speed and destructive power
    • Heavy weight requires significant strength to handle effectively
    • Rotational performance requires careful technique due to ply construction
    • Excellent for smashes, blocks, and counter-attacks
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveDespite being 7-ply with destructive power, it delivers stable drives and serves. The hitting stability is excellent, achieving a high level of bounce, power, and control simultaneously.
    ▽ CriticalBeing 7-ply makes it difficult to handle. The weight is challenging for beginners and children, and without sufficient swing speed, rotational power on drives tends to fall short.

      The weight is just right for a high schooler to use
      It's fast and controllable, so it's easy to use
      I've got tacky rubber on mine
      Putting tacky rubber on it increases the spin and makes drives go in even more easily

      Since it's a 7-ply blade, it's heavy, but that gives you quite a lot of speed in return.
      It has just the right amount of flex, so it's easy to put spin on the ball too.
      It's easy to use.

      AdoTaro (Experience: 6〜10 years) Just my personal opinion

      Player reviews

      It's generally said to be hard, but maybe thanks to the limba wood, I felt an enveloping, pleasant feel on contact.
      The bounce is good, and you don't get much stress hitting against backspin. The one flaw I noticed is that controlling lobs is difficult.
      If you don't think this will suit you, it's probably because you like the harder feel of koto wood.

      A kouhai of mine started using this, so here's a quick review.
      First off, it's heavy.
      He's got relatively light Fly Att rubbers on both sides,
      but even I, who normally uses Chinese rubber, felt it was a bit heavy.
      Might just be individual variation though.
      The feel when hitting wasn't really my taste.
      It's a weird in-between of resonating and not resonating (probably the rubber's influence).
      The bounce is really good.
      My kouhai kept overshooting his drives at first,
      but once you get used to it, you get heavy, good shots.
      The short game is hard to pull off.
      You should be careful not to overshoot with chiquitas and the like.
      Serves are about average, I'd say. Nothing special either way.
      Smashes seem to be really good.
      It seems to spring the ball off quite easily.
      Blocks naturally turn into something like a counter.
      So when you counter, the whole balance of attack and defense flips completely (lol
      Other than that, there's the thickness.
      Since it's a bit on the thick side, even with a shakehand grip your finger
      can sometimes catch on it when serving.
      It's the kind of blade where countering the opponent's drive and then smashing the ball that pops up
      just naturally becomes your flow.

      The sense of speed is great.
      The ball just blasts across the court.

      That said, I feel it's a little short on flex.
      Might be a bit tough for beginners.
      It's heavy too.

      The feel is really good, and the rush you get when you hit a topspin drive with it is amazing

      Anyway, the SK7 has high rebound, so even a normal touch gives you speed on its own. However, it's quite heavy, so it might be hard for kids to handle. So I think it's best suited for adults who play with drives and want to prioritize power.

      watanabe It's heavy, but.

      Player reviews

      The destructive power is amazing, but most of the time it ends up overshooting. It also puts a lot of strain on your shoulder. Still, considering the cost performance, I think it's worth it.
