    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    This 5-ply blade is highly appreciated for its exceptional elasticity and spin performance that belies its ply construction, along with its lightweight and easy-to-handle characteristics. However, many users note that selecting the right rubber and possessing adequate technique are essential to fully utilize its superior performance.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Exceptional bounce and speed uncharacteristic of 5-ply construction
    • Lightweight and easy to swing
    • Excellent spin generation and ball holding quality
    • Particularly compatible with sticky rubbers
    • Performance significantly varies with rubber choice and player skill level
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThis 5-ply blade bounces unexpectedly hard, delivering speed comparable to inner rackets. Its light weight and excellent compatibility with sticky rubbers make powerful drives easy to execute.
    ▽ CriticalThe extreme bounce makes control difficult and rubber selection challenging. Its combination with tension rubbers is not ideal, and considerable technique is required to fully harness its capabilities.

      Tacky Flower (Experience: 2〜3 years) Pairs well with tacky rubber

      Player reviews

      It pairs really well with Hurricane Neo3.
      You get speed and spin both,
      and I think it suits not just Hurricane but other tacky rubbers and tension rubbers too.
      The price isn't too high either, so please give it a try.

      Mum (Experience: 4〜5 years) A 5-ply built for real matches

      Player reviews

      This racket's character completely changes between soft and hard shots.
      On soft shots it felt like it had strong pop, but on hard shots it flexes and holds the ball, giving you drives that combine both speed and spin. Full away-from-the-table play is tough distance-wise, but if you're only a bit further back than mid-distance, it's manageable. For a 5-ply, it really flies.
      Soft rubber doesn't let it flex properly, so I think a harder rubber on both sides is better.
      Blocks have strong pop, so you need to hold them down firmly.
      Honestly, the short game doesn't feel like it has that settled 5-ply calmness. Some of that might be a skill issue, but unless I relaxed and touched the ball just right, it would pop up too high... In that respect too, I think a harder rubber keeps things calmer.
      Honestly, I think tacky rubber suits it best.

      I think you can basically treat the VPS as an outer special material. But it's lighter and flexes more than special-material blades.
      I'd recommend this to players who want to take advantage of that and swing hard and often.

      One more thing — unfortunately the top ply really is weak. Countermeasures like racket coat are a must.
      If only that one issue were solved, this would be a really great racket...

      Beginner's extreme (Experience: 2〜3 years) Soft on light hits, hard on smashes

      Player reviews

      Like the title says, it didn't feel all that hard on forehand hits, but when I hit hard it felt really hard. On the forehand you get a solid drive, and on the backhand you can produce that knuckleball effect typical of short pips — overall a really easy racket to use. I think it also suits short pips and long pips well. It's cheaper than STIGA's other blades too and offers good value for money, so it's definitely a racket I'd want people to try at least once.

      T Shinya (Experience: 11〜20 years) A racket where rubber choice matters

      Player reviews

      For the forehand, I'd recommend a hard rubber like a Chinese rubber.
      If you hit with a lot of impact, a soft rubber will feel lacking. Even with Evolution MX-S I felt some energy loss!
      Same goes for the backhand — I think it's better to go a bit harder than whatever you'd normally use. Right now I'm feeling like MX-P isn't quite enough, so I'm thinking of switching to something a bit harder!

      Novice kid (Experience: 4〜5 years) Top-class speed among 5-ply blades!

      Player reviews

      The balance is fantastic overall. I put on Praxon, which is a slightly lighter rubber, so switching between forehand and backhand is easy,
      the control is good, it takes spin well, and the speed is really impressive! This racket has no weak points.
      It pairs really well with Praxon, I think.
      Speed drives are easy to hit, and they come in on a low, flexy trajectory. Loops are easy too. In the short game you can respond smoothly without it getting out of control. I compared it with the Quartet, and the Infinity was faster — I was impressed that a 5-ply could put out this much speed. It's a fantastic racket, worth more than its price.
      I completely understand why it gets such high ratings! If you choose your rubber according to your level, I think this is a gem that even advanced players can use without complaint. Up to intermediate level, I think a slightly softer rubber lets you make the most of its performance. For advanced players, I'd recommend a harder rubber.
