    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly evaluated as a defensive-focused racket for beginner to intermediate cutters, while criticized for lack of offensive power and poor compatibility with sticky rubbers. Excellent control and stability, but considered insufficient for advanced players.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent stability and control in cuts and chops
    • Low ball trajectory ideal for beginners, perfect for basics
    • Weak attack power, lacking speed and ball power
    • Good compatibility with tension rubbers, sticky rubbers not recommended
    • Lightweight and easy to swing through, but proper footwork required
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe ease of suppressing cuts and control is outstanding, providing reassurance that the ball will land on the opponent's court even when tense during matches. An ideal racket for learning the fundamentals of cutting.
    ▽ CriticalToo dead to produce any response, resulting in self-destructing rallies for sticky rubber cutters. Attacks often go into the net, making progression from beginner level impossible with this racket.

    • Sprain cut man

      Sprain cut man (Experience: ４〜５ years) Stable

      Player reviews

      Recommended for beginner choppers

      Defensive techniques are stable

      Attacking does feel a bit lacking though

      I used it with a straight grip, and the handle is thin

      The top ply peels off easily, so a racket coating is a must

      Player reviews

      The stability was the best out of anything I've used so far.
      The blade itself is light, so the ball ends up too light and your opponent can smash right through it. Chopping with a good bite was difficult. But it's easy to add variation to your shots.

      Just like it's advertised, if you make contact right, the chop really does go in easily.
      Push stability is good too.

      But because it's so stable, the max amount of spin you can put on your chops feels a little lacking.
      I still think a harder blade bites better on chops when paired with long pips.

      But I'd recommend it to beginner choppers or anyone who wants to stabilize their chops.

      Okkun (Experience: １１〜２０ years) Not even usable for basic chopping — bad gear for a chopper

      Player reviews

      Chop: unbeatable
      Serve: unbeatable

      Drive: self-destructive
      Block: self-destructive
      Stop (short push): self-destructive

      Lift: very easy
      Smash: can work as a probing shot if done with the wrist only — don't use your arm for it
      Flick: needs to be hit hard
      Push: needs to be aimed carefully into the opponent's court

      Spin: intense
      Ball power: none
      Suited playing style: DEF-

      Quick review
      The chopping and short-game control are almost too good, which can backfire on you. It absorbs all the opponent's power, but because of that, this blade makes it impossible to graduate from beginner level. Think of rallies as footwork practice and use this equipment to build up your stamina.

      Side note
      I'm the swinger type, so to speak, in golf terms, and I didn't like this blade at all, so I gave it to a hard-hitting drive player, who ended up liking it more than expected.

      Pros
      The chops bite well and the pushes have a great feel too. It's also lighter than other chopping blades, so it's easy to swing all the way through. That makes the topspin drive more stable. Curve/long serves are more than good enough. You can attack too — even without inverted rubber on both sides, it works just fine.
      Cons
      When you get smashed hard and pushed back, a strong loop dropped in front of you is hard to return, or it floats up. Some of that's probably my own lack of skill too. Smashes... against a good player it's tough to put one away. Spin is there. Flicks are just laughable — most of them get punished right back lol. vs401 is 2.0, the pips are Curl P1R

      a cut man Feels like it doesn't bounce enough.........

      Player reviews

      It's made for choppers with inverted rubber on both sides, so it just doesn't fly at all.
      Even putting an attacking rubber on it feels kind of off...
      The chops bite well, but they tend to turn into more of a push.
      It really comes down to how you get through play close to the table.
