    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.

      April (Experience: 6〜10 years) A 5-ply that flies surprisingly far?

      Player reviews

      I tried this because Fan Zhendong uses it, and it flies incredibly well!
      Fine technical shots are also really easy to pull off.
      Definitely give it a try.

      black coffee (Experience: More than 20 years) Bouncy

      Player reviews

      It bounces more than your average 7-ply wood blade.
      It's light, so you can swing all the way through properly.
      Because the racket is light, my drives feel a bit light too, which bugs me a little.
      If you've already got a solid handle on techniques where you don't want extra bounce, like blocks and the short game,
      you'll probably find this easy to use.
      The sound it makes on soft hits is a bit of a pokopoko (hollow popping) sound, which I do notice lol

      o.n. (Experience: 2〜3 years) Speed above all!

      Player reviews

      This is a racket I got handed down from my father, and it's incredibly fast. The ball comes off quickly, so I think it's perfect for someone who swings all the way through. I have Kiryu (short pips) on my forehand, and it's still fast.

      All right whale (Experience: 6〜10 years) Recommended for those who prioritize speed!

      Player reviews

      Forehand: Hurricane Neo3 max thickness
      Backhand: Rakza 7 Soft max thickness

      I bought this because it had great ratings on Table Tennis Navi.
      True to the ratings, it's fast. Even with tacky rubber, which is usually slower than tension rubber, it still generates plenty of speed. Also, even though it's light, the blade itself has good rebound, which makes it feel ideal for quick multi-ball exchanges.
      That said, I felt the ball comes off the blade a little quickly.
      Because of that, if you don't consciously swing through and add spin, your shots tend to go flat and straight, so players who like the feeling of the ball sinking into the sponge on their drives might need a bit of practice to adjust.

      Overall I think it's a good racket, but it seems better suited to players who prioritize speed over those who prioritize spin and control.

      extra (Experience: 4〜5 years) Incredibly fast!

      Player reviews

      At first, the reviews said it bounces incredibly, and I wasn't sure if that was really true, but after using it, it's insanely fast. My topspin drives are super fast now, and counter drives land more easily than with my previous racket. On top of that, chiquita and stop shots are also really easy to do. I think beginners might find it too bouncy to control, but I'd recommend it to intermediate and advanced players.

      Player reviews

      I happened to be looking for a light racket and found an 80g piece. It's really easy to hit with, and I can play both forehand and backhand with confidence. It's easy to handle on receive too, and my attacks are stable. It's a racket that makes table tennis a lot more fun. The grip is comfortable and I got used to it right away. I want to keep using this one for a long time.

      I borrowed this from a senior teammate and played with it, and I honestly thought it was a 7-ply lol
      That's how much it bounces
      The ball leaves the blade fast, so I felt like you need good swing speed to put spin on it
      It's exactly the feel I like, so I would've bought one if it were a bit cheaper
      It's a really satisfying racket to hit with
