    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    The racket is highly praised for its excellent speed performance despite being an outer carbon blade, though opinions vary on its difficulty to handle and weight. The excellent compatibility with sticky rubbers and the outstanding ball retention and flex despite being outer carbon are recognized as its greatest features.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent hitting feel and ball retention despite being outer carbon
    • Exceptional compatibility with sticky rubbers
    • Easy to combine speed and spin
    • Suitable for fine techniques like touch shots and blocking
    • Requires familiarity before mastering and not recommended for beginners
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveDespite being outer carbon, it has wonderfully pleasant hitting feel and excellent ball retention, making it easy to produce both offensive and defensive shots. Small techniques and touch shot handling are supreme, making it ideal for precise, controlled play.
    ▽ CriticalIf you expect the classic Acoustic feel, you won't find that ball retention quality in the carbon version, and its significant hardness and weight make it difficult for players without strong technique to handle effectively.

      It's quite bouncy, but it still has that easy-to-use feel typical of the Acoustic
      The shots come off pretty directly
      If you're aiming to play like Mima-chan (Mima Ito), maybe give it a try?

      It's easy to put spin on the ball
      It's stable on the backhand and easy to use
      Pushes are easy to do too
      The drive goes in easily and it's easy to get spin on it, really good
      It flies further than expected, so at first you might overshoot a lot
      The speed was pretty good too
      I think it's best for an all-round intermediate player

      That's just my opinion!

      Flower lily dumpling (Experience: 2〜3 years) A very difficult blade

      Player reviews

      My impression after hitting with it was that it felt really easy to use. But I can't really recommend it for beginners. I switched from a more stable rubber and had a really hard time getting used to it. It's very bouncy, so I think intermediate to advanced players would find it easier to use. I'd suggest an attacking rubber like G-1 on the forehand, and something stable but still capable of spin on the backhand.

      I bought this because a carbon version of the Acoustic came out. But it turned out to be totally different from the Acoustic. The Acoustic's selling points are its flex and control, but the carbon version bounces a ton. On top of that, it's harder to control. Since it's a completely different blade from the Acoustic, I wouldn't recommend it to people switching over from the Acoustic. But if you want some flex in a carbon blade, I'd recommend it! Using a slightly softer rubber might make it easier to control.

      PARFECT HUMAN (Experience: 6〜10 years) Seriously?!

      Player reviews

      Previously I was using a Bawell Fleet with G-1 and Bryce Speed FX. But my stops and backhand drives kept flying off the table, so I decided to spend everything I had on a new blade. With this one, even though it has carbon in it, my stops don't float up at all - I can drop them right at the net - and I've had fewer over-the-table misses and net misses on my drives too. Since Mima Ito and Ayane Morita both use G-1 on their forehand, I was already confident on the forehand side, but I was a bit unsure about putting V>01 Limber on the backhand. It turned out to be a great match though. With this combination, you really can't go wrong.

      Player reviews

      It's very heavy and pretty easy to put spin on. I felt like you'd need to be at least high school level or above to really use it. The topspin drive is amazing, but blocking takes a bit of a knack since it's bouncy. It's a fairly all-round blade.

      SHIGE Bounced more than I expected

      Player reviews

      I switched over from a certain Butterfly ALC blade, and this one had more bounce than I expected, so I made a lot of over-the-table misses at first. But once I started brushing the ball a bit more firmly, I was able to get the trajectory I wanted. I'm satisfied with it now.
