    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.

      10 + 10 (Experience: 2〜3 years) 7-ply blade?

      Player reviews

      It's so light you'd never guess it's a 7-ply. That makes it easy to swing and easy to control. Also, because it's easy to swing, you can generate speed too, and it's harder for opponents to read your impact timing, so you can catch them off guard! Recommended.

      Player reviews

      It's a 7-ply, but it's incredibly light.
      It's probably the lightest 7-ply out there?
      It makes all-round play easy, and even with heavier rubbers on it, my wrist doesn't hurt.

      Racket love family (Experience: 2〜3 years) The grip feel is

      Player reviews

      The first thing I noticed using it was how good the ball-holding feel is - the touch is great and shots go in easily. And it generates real power. Seriously, it's an incredibly easy-to-use, top-tier blade.

      I like table tennis

      Player reviews

      I just bought this recently.
      I originally planned to buy a VK, but decided to try a 7-ply instead, so I got this one. A friend of mine has a VK and lent it to me, and compared to the SK, the VK feels more stable and easier to put spin on. That said, when a shot lands with this one, the power is a real strength. It seems like it'll take some time to get used to, but I'm going to give it my best!!!

      20 years ago Kyushu Tournament competition (high school) Chorido (Experience: 6〜10 years) Easy to use

      Player reviews

      Switched over from an Innerforce ALC.

      After getting back into table tennis after a while, I found the balls had switched to plastic and my drives were flying straighter, so I decided to try this blade, which has no composite material.

      It was listed as 85g, but when I got mine, it weighed 93g.

      I thought, well, that's basically the same as an SK7 Tactics then, but once I actually used it, it turned out to be really easy to handle - blocks stop dead, backhand meet-hits feel great, and drives shoot into the opponent's court like an arrow.
      It flies exactly on the trajectory you picture in your head.

      It really made me appreciate all over again how good an all-wood blade can be.

      Sho-go (Experience: 11〜20 years) A soft 7-ply blade

      Player reviews

      I got to try a friend's blade, so here are my impressions.
      First, even though it's a 7-ply, it's not hard. The Butterfly SK7 is also a 7-ply, but with a strong kick, whereas this one gives you a real sense of holding the ball.
      It holds the ball almost like a 5-ply, but you can still feel that 7-ply kick within that, so I think it's a good option for people who feel a 5-ply doesn't bounce enough or that they can't win rallies outright.
      It's a really well-balanced, excellent blade, but if you're looking for more bounce, you might find it a bit lacking.
      Also, it does fall into the pricier category, and since it's a balance-type 7-ply, I'd recommend comparing it against something like the Swat before you buy.

      Player reviews

      The feel is soft.
      For a 7-ply, the bounce is fairly restrained, but it's very easy to handle.

      Since it's light (80g), the power is just okay, but I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a light blade but feels a 5-ply isn't quite enough.

      Both drives and blocks are very stable.
