    Truly awesome blade for the modern and versatile defensive player! The worlds most successful veneer combination (5-ply allround ) is manufactured with two dampening but elastic outer plies. (Gabon and Anegre), the vibration and the speed of the blade is reduced by increasing the size of the blade by 3 mm, the Senso technology brings maximum dampening effect. The result: an unbelievable control for all defensive shots. A fantastic acceleration for all offensive shots. Pure playing excitement.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    This racket has become the standard for cut players and is highly rated, especially among beginners and intermediate-level cutters. Its excellent defensive performance is overwhelmingly praised, while its low attacking capability is consistently noted across almost all reviews.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent cutting stability and spin generation, even beginners can execute clean cuts easily
    • Low elasticity design with good ball retention and superior control performance
    • Lightweight with high customization freedom in rubber combinations
    • Lacks drive speed but maintains adequate spin, compensatable with rubber choice
    • Thin grip for comfortable handling, but beware of significant individual variations
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe cutting sensation is amazing with excellent responsiveness, and you can attach heavy rubbers without issues. Beginners can easily execute clean cuts, and you can score adequately by attacking with spin-focused drives.
    ▽ CriticalNot suitable for offensive-style cut players, as front-court drives become slow and weak. Those with previous aggressive-style cutting experience will find it difficult to adapt, lacking speed in smashes and counterattacks.

      It is a racket currently in use. Anyway the sense of stability is wonderful. The rotation also takes time. Moreover, it is surprisingly easy to drive. Personally, I think that it is very much in grain. I think that all cut man should try using it once.

      Player reviews

      I used this racket with the Tenkyoku 2 rubber and Materialspezialist-der's Specter 1mm. Cutting is very easy with this racket, and I highly recommend it for beginner defensive players. Depending on the rubber combination, you can become quite strong. However, drives forward are very slow and feel light, so I wouldn't recommend it for offensive defensive players.

      It's great because you can stick heavy rubber on it

      Pig face butazura (Experience:6〜10 years) After all this is the best

      Player reviews

      It's a classic racket for cutting
      First of all, I like the low hitting sound peculiar to the cutting racket.
      Forecut and Tsuttsuki were made without difficulty
      But even with the back grain, the back cut came out of the table
      That is the point to be careful
      I recommend it because it is a good racket normally.

      Kanbei (Experience:6〜10 years) Interesting racket

      Player reviews

      Buy ST. The weight of the racket was 86g, but the total weight with Vega Asia (1.8mm) on the fore and Feint Long II (Gokusu) on the back was 166g. Since the grip is light, the center of gravity is on the blade side, and I felt heavier than the actual weight, which was just right.
      & lt; cut & gt;
      No problem at all, excellent control
      & lt; attack & gt;
      The drive is slow but has a decent amount of revs and is slow but stretches well. Smash is no problem whether the combination with Vega Asia is good.
      & lt; Other & gt;
      The grip of ST is too thin than I expected, so FL may be better.

      Gionis (Experience:4〜5 years) It is a good racket

      Player reviews

      It is a racket for cutman that I bought for the first time when I started cutman. Currently I am using normal Koji Matsushita, but both are quite similar. However, Diff Play Senzo does not bounce more than Koji Matsushita.

      Self-proclaimed intermediate (Experience:4〜5 years) Versatile type that can be used by beginners to advanced users

      Player reviews

      I have been a Cutman for 5 years.
      To be honest, I think that Cutman is a racket that everyone will accept, I think it is better to use this first before focusing on attack such as Zhu Seiji and defense like Defplay Classic.
      The only thing to say is that the drive is a little tricky. I think it's okay for those who emphasize defense, but it is difficult for those who emphasize attack unless they get used to it.
