    Seven plywood racket reasonable price has combines the stability of charm

    Suppress the repulsive force and the hardness slightly, it is a racket that was stuck to ease of use, while seven plywood. Widely it corresponds from beginner to aim the attack-oriented style to attack the player's balance-oriented.

      A standard 7-ply blade. Despite being 7-ply, it's easy to use while still packing that destructive power only a 7-ply can offer! The amount of spin you can get on serves and drives definitely can't match a 5-ply, but this is a 7-ply that even beginners can use!

      The first shortcut should be noted. (Experience: 2〜3 years) Great for beginners. Not suited otherwise.

      Player reviews

      Used this as my first racket.
      Took 1st place in singles at the junior high regional tournament.
      Both forehand and backhand are nice and stable.
      The blade itself is light, so it's easy to switch directions quickly.
      In exchange for being nice and stable, it lacks power, so you end up relying on a multi-ball-hitting style.
      I'd recommend it to kids who are just starting out.
      I wouldn't recommend it for intermediate players and above.
      Unless you use a rubber with good bounce, the blade itself doesn't have much spring, so shots often fall short and hit the net.
      Once you get the knack of it, it should be plenty usable.
      Just sharing this for reference.

      Name withheld by request (Experience: 2〜3 years) Probably just a standard 7-ply

      Player reviews

      Pretty much a standard 7-ply blade.
      I started playing table tennis in junior high and used this until I retired from the sport.
      After about 3 years of use...
      Smash/Topspin drive
      Being a 7-ply, it's very stable. But since the blade itself is light, the ball doesn't have much weight behind it. You get some spin on it.
      The short game
      1. Push: easy to vary the pace, but hard to put spin on it.
      2. Block: goes in reliably, but you can't just tap it in.
      3. Flick: it's the type where you have to hit through the ball. Hard to make it go in.
      4. Chiquita: very easy to land. The spin isn't bad.
      Counter
      Feels like you push it with your arm strength. If you load it up properly, you get power.
      Rubber
      No tacky rubber needed. Tension rubbers are recommended. Since it's stable, inverted rubber works fine too.

      Among 7-ply blades, this one has especially good control, so it's every bit as easy to use as other special-material blades.

      It's a 7-ply blade, but it doesn't bounce much, so it's better suited to playing defense with long pips than to attacking players.
