    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    The racket is highly praised for its excellent hitting feel and speed performance due to the hinoki wood material, while its high difficulty in control and requirement for delicate technique are noted as challenges. It is particularly suitable for aggressive players with strong muscle strength.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent hitting feel from hinoki wood and satisfying smash sensation
    • Early ball release makes backspin drives easier to execute
    • High-speed, heavy ball quality with superior speed performance
    • Control is difficult and requires delicate technique
    • Ideal for aggressive players, requires good muscle strength
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe hitting feel of smashes and counters is incredibly satisfying. After switching from the Swat Power, net errors decreased significantly. The slight holding feel of the hinoki wood material makes it easy to use.
    ▽ CriticalIf you hit the ball too thickly, it flies off too easily, so delicate technique is required on the table. Light tapping drives are difficult to execute, and ordinary players find it hard to control fast-flying rubbers.

      Player reviews

      Way back in junior high, I played shakehand with short pips on both sides, close-to-the-table all-round style.
      It's a bit dated now, but after watching videos of Singapore's Li Jiawei and Jing Junhong, I switched my backhand to inverted rubber.
      Back in the celluloid ball days my blade was a STIGA Clipper, but once the plastic ball came in, the bounce got weaker and I started netting a lot, so I made the bold switch to the Hinoki Carbon Power that Li Jiawei used.
      As the title says, smashes, counters, and blocks feel absolutely amazing with it. The feel overall is just great.
      That said, light connecting drives are difficult. It seems to help if you relax your shoulders and take the tension out of them.
      I really like it, so I'm going to keep working hard with this blade!

      This has been my partner since the celluloid-ball era. Back then, school rules only allowed Mark V and Excise F1, but even so, it gave me just enough bounce for playing close to the table. I recently got back into table tennis, bought rubber on a whim - Hexer Grip and Vega X - and I've reconfirmed that this really is a great blade. If you're a "forehand power hitter" type who uses meet-hits and blocks close to and at mid-distance, definitely give this a try.
      (I wish they'd bring back the cool-looking grip from the TSP era.)

      I thought this was really good.
      I especially found it easy to lift backspin balls.
      But since the spin isn't that strong and the ball feels light,
      it can get picked off easily sometimes.
      Still, the speed is fast, so you can sometimes punch it right through. Personally, though, I find the control a bit hard to manage.

      Player reviews

      Switched from the Swat Power. With this blade, I found it easier to attack backspin balls than with the Swat Power. I think that's probably because the ball leaves the blade faster. My net mistakes decreased. On the other hand, my overshoots increased, but I was able to fix that with practice. That said, a fast rubber on this blade is too much for an average player to control. It's a good fit for people who can put in a lot of practice time. It's on the flying side, but spin is easy to generate. The top ply is hinoki (Japanese cypress), so it holds the ball a bit longer than I expected (by "holds" I mean more than I thought it would). For average players, rubbers like Donic's Acuda pair well with it - the power and spin are very well balanced, and my win rate went up. The Blue Fire is uncontrollable, so I'd avoid that combination.

      Since it uses cypress wood, the bounce is good and the feel is pleasant, so you can hit stable topspin drives.
      I think short pips suit it well, so it should be good for close-to-the-table fast-attack players.

      Being heavy really shows - the ball quality is heavy too, and smashes are fast!
      On the other hand, if you make full contact the ball flies off right away, so you need delicate technique for the short game.

      Recommended for players with strength who want to attack aggressively.

      I borrowed a friend's and tried it, and my friend's impression was: it bounces, but spin is also easy to put on it. Speed is on the faster side too, and control is easy - it's a blade that's a perfect match for Tenergy 80.
