NO.1 table tennis review site

My first impression of this racket was that the feel on contact is really pleasant! No matter which rubber I put on, the feedback through my hand felt comfortable. That said, with harder rubbers or max-thickness rubbers, the ball seemed to fly off before spin could really bite, so I'd recommend a softer rubber!

I switched over from the Swat, and the feel on impact was pleasant — my impression was that it's easy to use.
That said, I feel like it takes a bit of time to get used to.
Still, it bounces well and is easy to use, so I think it'd work well as a second 7-ply blade.

It's heavy but it really bounces. I think it works fine for an adult man. It might be a bit tough for juniors or women, though.

I'm not sure I have the right to say this since I haven't even been playing table tennis for a year, but...

Looking at it, the surface is a nice, clean brown.
As for speed, being a 7-ply blade, it really does deliver a lot of speed.
The amount of spin drops compared to a 5-ply, but it's not like "you can't get any spin on it at all," so I don't think it's a real problem.
Control is also pretty good. The ball goes pretty much where you aim it.
The feel is really satisfying when smashing or hitting power drives.

I'd recommend this racket to anyone who wants to attack with power. Since the blade itself is a bit heavy, I think it'll suit people with arm strength or people used to 7-ply blades. On the other hand, I can't really recommend it to people who aren't confident in their arm strength, or who are used to 5-ply blades.

It's a bit on the hard side. I wouldn't recommend max-thickness rubber unless it's tacky. If you put on a max-thickness tension rubber, the ball flies off before you can even put spin on it. I'd recommend either a thick tension rubber or a tacky rubber.
