    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.

      The feel is fantastic.
      A lot of people seem to feel it gets out of control in the short game, but I don't think it's that bad.
      That said, hitting a really good drive might be tough if you don't have much power.

      I used this before switching to the Hurricane Long 5.

      Like everyone else posting reviews here, it bounces so much you start wondering "is this really a 5-ply?"
      But in the short game it settles down and is easy to control.

      Compared to a normal plywood blade, the trajectory is more straight-line, but compared to a special-material blade, it flies with more of an arc.

      I owned both the Master and Legend grips, so I can compare them: if you want to use centrifugal force to send the ball flying, the Master is better, and if you want to grip it firmly and swing, the Legend is better, I think.

      The Master is thinner than I expected, so if it feels off in your hand, it might help to adjust it with some grip tape.

      Sorry for the long post.

      I switched from an outer-carbon blade to the Infinity VPS V, which is a really popular 5-ply.
      With my old blade, I had too much speed relative to spin, and it was hard to get the ball to spin, which was a problem. But personally, I think the Infinity strikes a good balance between spin and speed.

      I thought it might be hard and difficult to handle, but the feel is great and the speed and spin are incredible — nothing to complain about. I think it also depends on rubber compatibility. And it's light. Serves and receives feel stress-free too. Blocks don't get overpowered by the opponent's shot, and you're not affected much by their spin either. If you swing to really put spin on the ball rather than just flicking it, I think you can achieve unmatched strength with this.

      Player reviews

      Like the title says, this thing is something else.
      When you hit it softly it makes a high-pitched pokopoko sound, but when you catch the sweet spot, it rings out with this metallic "kiiin" sound — it's amazing.
      It's got a good amount of bounce too, I'd say.
      Also, shots that wouldn't go in with my old racket now go in easily.
      A lot of that's probably down to my own lack of skill, but when you hit the sweet spot perfectly, it really seems to bring the power. If you're on the fence, just buy it. I don't think you'll regret it.

      Player reviews

      I bought this because people said it bounces a lot, but honestly it's not much different from the Rosewood or the Intensity.
      That said, thanks to the VPS it's lighter, and even with this much bounce and usability, you can get it for around 10,000 yen, so I think the value for money is excellent.

      If you're thinking about buying a 5-ply blade, definitely give this one a try.
