    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    This 7-ply racket is praised for its light weight and ease of use, appealing to beginners and intermediate players alike. Its balanced performance between 5-ply and 7-ply characteristics is well-received, though some advanced players seeking powerful speed may find it lacking in explosive power.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Lightweight for a 7-ply racket, easy to swing
    • Soft feel similar to 5-ply with excellent control
    • Generates good spin and provides stable performance
    • Ideal stepping stone for beginners to intermediate players
    • Price point is considered somewhat high
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThis racket is recommended for beginners starting table tennis and those considering upgrading to a carbon racket. Spin is easy to apply and speed is achievable, making it a worthwhile purchase.
    ▽ CriticalDespite being 7-ply, it plays like a 5-ply racket with reduced speed on hard hits. The price is quite high, so comparing it with alternatives like Swat before purchasing is recommended.

      Compared to the Hadraw VK, it's easier to generate speed and easier to put spin on the ball. It's easy to control, and you can put solid spin on short-game shots or speed them up a bit too. When you drive, you get a heavy drive with plenty of spin on it. Meet-hits are faster too compared to the Hadraw VK. That said, compared to the Hadraw VK, it is a bit harder to control. Still, I think it's plenty easy to control overall.
      I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to vary the pace of their shots, or who wants to hit heavy drives.

      Really good - great for beginners.
      At first, we were "together."
      But we ended up breaking up.
      Still, it was really easy to use, so I'd recommend it.

      I've been using this blade for two years now, and I think it's really easy to use.
      I'd recommend this blade to beginners who are thinking about starting table tennis, or to anyone thinking about moving up to a carbon blade soon. The price is a bit on the higher side, but spin comes easily and you get good speed too, so I don't think you'd regret buying it.

      It is not 21 years old (Experience: 2〜3 years) The goodness that only comes from pure wood

      Player reviews

      I use it with 2.0mm thick rubber on the forehand. I mainly play close to mid-distance from the table, and my personal preference is a soft blade + soft sponge + firm topsheet, so this is a perfect match for me. Like it says in the promo video, it's based on the SK7. The grip is a bit slippery, so I put grip tape on it. Compared to composite blades, the speed drops off, but the control really comes through. Also, the wood on this blade isn't rock hard, so if you tap it lightly you get a light shot, and if you really smack it hard, it's blazing fast lol
      If you're an intermediate player looking for an all-wood 7-ply, give this one a try.
      It's the real deal, a classic all-wood 7-ply!

      I'd recommend this to anyone thinking about buying a new blade
      or anyone about to start playing table tennis.
      The price is a bit on the higher side, but spin comes easily and it's easy to control,
      so I don't think you'd regret buying it.

      It is not 21 years old (Experience: 2〜3 years) Recommended from intermediate level, or as your first 7-ply

      Player reviews

      I used to play with a Timo Boll ALC and Tenergy 05/80, but the ball left the blade too fast and my 05 wore out, so now I'm using this blade that I had lying around, paired with Rozena thick on one side and Tenergy 80 max thickness on the other. The first thing I noticed using it is that it really holds the ball, which made flicks and backhands much easier. I couldn't even do a chiquita before, but after practicing with this blade I picked it up right away. It's a different feel from the all-wood 5-ply I used to play with, and I really like it. That said, my speed on hard hits dropped compared to my old blade. But in exchange, I got more stability! Honestly, the ball-holding isn't amazingly good, but if you're using an outer-composite blade and feel like the ball leaves too fast, why not give this one a try? It really takes the fundamentals back to basics!

      This was the very first blade I bought.
      The weight is just right, speed and spin both come easily, and it's really easy to control too.
