    Special material racket that boasts outstanding cost performance

    Achieve a low price while a carbon racket. While having sufficient momentum is also excellent in operability, it is also recommended for players to challenge for the first time special material.

      It's decent enough to use.
      I think it's a good recommendation for beginners or as a first carbon blade.

      Yua (Experience: Less than a year) Personally I like it

      Player reviews

      I thought this was perfect as a first carbon blade. Put Yasaka's Rigan on it and even a carbon blade becomes easy to handle, so it's my top pick.

      Tacky rubber user (Experience: 2〜3 years) Goes well with tacky rubber

      Player reviews

      I use Hurricane Neo3 Blue Sponge on my forehand and Omega V Tour DF on my backhand, and I think it goes really well with tacky rubber. It bounces enough even in topspin rallies from further back, so it's easy to send the ball. Hitting from far back on the backhand still lands deep and sharp, so it's easy to use. If it's your first special-material blade, or you want to use a special-material blade together with tacky rubber, I think it's excellent.

      Smash Bros (Experience: 2〜3 years) Beginner blade

      Player reviews

      For a 5-ply blade with 2 carbon layers, it didn't have much pop. It might be good as a second blade for beginners. I wouldn't really recommend it for players who can already hit decently.

      Tacky rubber user The strongest‼️

      Player reviews

      This is the easiest blade to use out of all the ones I've tried! I use tacky rubber on my forehand, and I personally think it suits tacky rubber well.
      My backhand is tacky too, but I switched to tension rubber lol. Re-gluing rubber is easy too — it comes off easily and leaves no glue residue at all. This blade is cheap and easy to use, so I highly recommend it.
      By the way, I made the best 16 at the Kaede City tournament with this blade! Thank you, Yasaka!!

      Player reviews

      It goes really well with tacky rubber, the feel is great, and the rubber peels off very easily. The surface of the blade is glossy, and no glue residue is left behind when you peel the rubber off. I really recommend this blade, so please give it a try.

      Nakazawa (Experience: 4〜5 years) Recommended for your carbon debut

      Player reviews

      I'm a first-year high school girl on the table tennis team. My parents bought me this blade (my second one) to celebrate qualifying for the prefectural tournament back in 8th grade. Since it's made of a special carbon material, it makes a high-pitched sound on contact and the feel is amazing. I'd really recommend it to people who are good at attacking from away from the table, or who want to try their first carbon blade.
