    Ultra-high rebound! Racket for Large

    It is a high repulsive force racket popular rubber for large ball as "XTEND LB" with the goodness of the outstanding compatibility. And the outer two of cypress material, carbon, which is mounted on the inner side is raised to maximize the power of the ball. Hard feel at impact, high hitting sound, fast ball away, and attacking high-performance racket that is equipped with a sufficient distance. Back remains of Japanese-style pen grip There is also a JP-type grip that can be used.

      Player reviews

      I mainly play backhand, so my backhand isn't an issue, but my forehand topspin drive lacks power, so I was looking for a blade that would let me make up for it with smashes and counters instead - and I found one. The weight is concentrated toward the tip and the wood is quite thick, so this is the heaviest-feeling blade I've ever used. As for performance, even though it's an inner blade, it flies like the Gergely 21 or Primorac Carbon. What really stands out is the push - I've had a higher success rate cracking through with one push than with any other blade I've used. It might be because of that brief moment of ball-holding. It's discontinued now, so I'm going to take good care of it.

      I bought this for large ball play, but ended up using it for hardball on a whim.
      The ball comes off slightly fast, but the control is decent enough, so it feels really good to use!
      The smash is blisteringly fast, and you can hit a nice straight, high-speed drive too.
      The sound off the blade has that high metallic ring typical of carbon blades.
      It really bounces a lot, so it should suit anyone with a fast swing.
      It's a pretty interesting blade, so I wonder what would happen if I put large-ball rubber on it... (lol)

      I didn't know a blade with this much fly could exist for large ball — with a 40mm ball it flies even more lol. Control is actually pretty good since it's for large ball, and of course the speed is really high too! I'd recommend it to anyone who wants exhilarating rallies with a large ball.
