      Perfect for players who grind out topspin drives from close to mid-distance and then finish off chance balls with a hard smash!

      shuxxx1213 (Experience: 2〜3 years) It bounces well ( ^ ^ )/■

      Player reviews

      This is just based on my personal playing style, so take it as a reference only.
      By the way, my style is close-to-the-table fast attack.
      I test-hit it with andro's Power Grip on the forehand, and on the backhand with Koniyoru's Target Ultima 50, as well as Yinhe's Sun Pro Idatai (hardness 38).
      Since the blade has carbon sandwiched in it, it bounces quite a lot, but the racket itself is insanely easy to handle, so on the backhand, a fast-releasing rubber like Target Ultima 50 or Yinhe's
      Sun Pro Idatai (hardness 38) worked just right.
      Since I'm almost an all-forehand player, on the forehand I used andro's Power Grip, which holds the ball well.
      These are my impressions using Target Ultima 50 on the backhand, which releases the ball quickly, so if you copy this setup your shots might fly way out (lol).
      If you put max-thickness rubber on both sides of this racket and try to hit a chiquita or a flat power drive, honestly, without enough power you'll struggle just to swing all the way through, and you might end up hurting your elbow or other joints.
      Build up your basic strength first before using this one (lol)
