The Infinity VPS V - with Diamond Touch is a lightweight 5-ply offensive blade built around two hand-selected middle veneers that are special temperature treated (VPS-technology). This gives the blade a unique stability and the Infinity VPS V is ideal for offensive players who demands good speed combined with control. The final finish by the Diamond Touch technology gives the outer surface extra hardness and an incredibly smooth finish.

This is finally my third review lol. I've been going back and forth with the Carbonado 45, but I've come back to this. Of course the Carbonado is a masterpiece too, but the Infinity is the best. Rasant R50 might be a good rubber match. Tenergy is also fantastic on it. There's no question hard rubbers suit it well. I have high hopes for something like the 05 Hard too. If you like a thicker grip, this might suit you. It has amazing pop, so I really like it since I use a lot of smashes and close-to-the-table counters.

It's a 5-ply, but it flies just as well as a 7-ply, no contest. And it's hard.
Honestly, switching over from a 7-ply is completely doable with this.
The good part is the power it puts out; the downside is that the short game is a bit tricky (though that might just be a skill issue on my end lol)
It pairs well with tacky rubber.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I'd been using an inner-carbon blade for a while, and tried this one for a change of pace — turns out it's an elite blade that handles every technique flawlessly. Spin, speed, ease of use — everything about it is excellent. And it's light and bouncy. I think it's flawless, honestly perfect. That said, if you're careless with maintenance and handling, I think it breaks easily. Let's take good care of our equipment ^ - ^

First of all, I have Tenergy 25 on my forehand, so my opinion might be a bit different from typical tension rubber users. As for bounce, this is top-class among wood blades — nothing to complain about there. Next, the ball release: I feel it's a little quick. Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of the feel. Some people describe it as a "metal racket," but to me it sounds more like a high-pitched pon-pon drum sound lol. I think the feel is something people will have different preferences about. Rather than putting a ton of spin on the ball, I think this is perfect for players who counter close to the table or who play a meet-the-ball style.

This is only the second racket I've used since starting table tennis. Up until now I'd been losing in the first or second round of local tournaments, but since switching to this racket I've made it to the round of 8, and even won a tournament once.
This racket has that typical 5-ply feel in the short game and on soft drives, but when you smash or hit a hard drive, the feel turns hard and the power output is stronger than an outer special-material blade. (The Infinity can definitely put out more power than a certain brand's inner-carbon blades.)
Also, maybe because of the grip, chiquita was really easy to do. It pairs so well with tacky rubbers like Hurricane that you might not be able to switch away from it. It's also light at 83g, and it pairs well with hard, spin-oriented rubbers, so please give it a try!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I was looking for a light plywood blade that bounces well with a light touch, and this was recommended to me, so I bought it.
At 80g it's light, the balance point is close to the grip, and it's thin and on the shorter side.
Switching direction is stress-free too.
Forehand: Fastarc G-1 (thick)
Backhand: Morrist SP (thick)
The Fastarc traces a nice, clean arc.
The backhand rubber is speed-oriented, so the trajectory is more of a straight line, but it doesn't catch the net.Hit it flat and it drives into the table with tremendous speed.
As for the short game, it doesn't bounce too much, and you can control both length and height.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

This racket has speed, spin, and the maneuverability you'd expect from a 5-ply.
It gives a different impression depending on whether you hit it flat or brush it.
When you hit it flat, it's hard and gives you speed and distance; when you brush it, you still get speed, but not as much distance as the flat-hit impression would suggest.
The trajectory is also a nice, easy-to-place arc on soft shots, while on hard shots it flies with a low, swerving path.
It's faster than your average mediocre special-material blade, and thanks to the good spin and pop of a 5-ply, it's also less sensitive to the opponent's spin — a genuinely high-performance blade. And it's light too.One thing to watch out for: the top ply is weak. It's weak enough that the top ply can peel off just from removing the rubber. I applied wood glue to the sides myself.
It has a distinctive feel, so opinions will probably vary, but it's a racket I'd like people to try at least once.
