    Unsurpassed ball feeling gives a perfect blade for players that can mix technical attack near the table and topspin play short distance from the table. Also a favorite with defensive players, due to superb control.

    • sand

      sand (Experience: 4〜5 years) Beginner racket, great with pips

      Player reviews

      Used with Elf Lark (thin) on the B side and 07 Stiff on the F side.
      The balance was really good and control was easy
      but it doesn't have much pop (・・;) Drives do go in, sure, but there's not much power and the arc is on the low side.
      It felt very much like a beginner's blade
      but if you're putting on pips, I think it's better than other beginner blades.
      I thought it'd be ideal for women or anyone who isn't confident in their power (‘ω‘)

      so sa (Experience: 4〜5 years) Soft, addictive feel

      Player reviews

      It feels really nice to hit with.
      The sensation of putting spin on the ball is very easy to get used to, so I'd recommend it for beginners.
      Speed might feel lacking once you reach an intermediate level.
      It also pairs well with unorthodox rubbers. Control is easy.

      Tats (Experience: 2〜3 years) More defensive than all-round

      Player reviews

      I use it Chinese-style.
      It's light, soft, and doesn't bounce much, but it's easy to put spin on, so I think it's suited for an offense/defense style with irregular rubber close to the table.
      Since it doesn't bounce on its own, I think it's a blade that helps beginners learn to swing all the way through.

      Seno ○ (Experience: 6〜10 years) Amazing control!

      Player reviews

      I switched over from Japanese penhold, and I had no trouble handling it.
      True to its all-round billing, it doesn't have much bounce or stiffness, but in exchange the flex and ball control are outstanding, and blocks and backhand shots land easily.
      Since it's a soft blade, I think pairing it with a harder rubber on either the forehand or backhand gives a nice balance.
      Overall it's a blade that lets you play a calm, controlled game.

      Knuckle Man This is what all-round means

      Player reviews

      I think this is easy to use with either long pips or a normal rubber.

      I used it as a penhold blade with pips, a so-called "pen-pips" setup.

      It doesn't have much bounce on its own, so it's better to put a bouncier rubber on it.

      It flexes a lot, which makes it easy to use, and it grips the ball well for spin on top of that.

      It should hold up reasonably fine with tacky or harder rubbers too.

      The quality is high, but it suits everyone. It gives off a real premium feel (lol)

    • China Rubber

      China Rubber STIGA

      Player reviews

      Swedish Classic, or "Swekura" as it's commonly known.
      Being a STIGA blade, it's a great match for tacky rubbers, as you'd expect.
      That's because the blade thickness is a shocking 5.5mm.
      It flexes nicely and keeps the bounce reasonably in check,
      so the control is good too. Easy to use.
      Since the bounce is kept under control, long pips are easy to use with it as well.
      The price isn't high by comparison either, so I'd recommend buying it!
