    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    The racket is highly evaluated for its exceptional elasticity and speed performance achieved through the wenge wood top board, surpassing expectations for a 5-ply blade. It is recognized as a high-performance racket suited for aggressive playing styles, though multiple reviews point out challenges in control and the slippery grip surface.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • High elasticity and speed from wenge wood top plate
    • Destructive power in smashes with heavy ball feel
    • Excellent compatibility with sticky rubbers
    • Grip surface is slippery and requires sweat management
    • Tendency to be difficult for control
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe wenge wood enables excellent balance between flat hits and spin, adapting well to any rubber. Despite its hardness, it offers good flex, and table play is highly functional.
    ▽ CriticalThe 5-ply blade has surprising elasticity with a narrow sweet spot, and compatibility with spring sponge rubbers can be problematic.

      The Hadraw series is really great, isn't it. It just reeks of being a classic, lol. Of course this blade also combines stability and destructive power at a high level!

      Personally I loved the really high-pitched sound off the ball!
      And the destructive power on smashes is amazing! Being able to hit really heavy balls is fantastic!
      But I did think the control was a bit tricky!

      Player reviews

      I think this is a rubber only guys who are confident in their skills should be allowed to use. (I know I'm probably not one to talk lol) If you just want to have fun, stick to that instead!

      Big brother (Experience: ２〜３ years)

      Player reviews

      The first thing I said after putting Hurricane on the forehand and starting to hit was "it bounces!!"
      It bounced so much I actually wondered, wait, is this a 5-ply? lol
      With tacky rubber, you'd expect a slower drive with plenty of spin and a nice arc compared to tension rubber, but this is different lol
      The arc is low and the drive comes in fast, almost like tension rubber, driving straight in lol
      I'm totally hooked on this blade now lol
      If you're using tacky rubber but not getting much speed and you're looking for a blade that suits tacky rubber, please give this a try!
      Sorry for the long post.

      barley tea (Experience: ４〜５ years) Love the feel

      Player reviews

      The feel is really nice!
      The sound is also that slightly high-pitched pure-wood sound, and it resonates nicely when you hit hard — very satisfying to use.
      It's got speed, so if you pair it with a really bouncy rubber, control might get tricky.
      But for a skilled player, using a bouncy rubber would really let strong drives and smashes shine.

      Apollo pitch (Experience: ４〜５ years) Outstanding power!

      Player reviews

      This is just my impression from borrowing a friend's and trying it out — personally I felt the control was a bit tricky, but the smash is just insane! Just like the title says, the smash has real power and destructive force, and my friend couldn't return it at all. As for the rubbers, I've got Nittaku and XIOM on it as noted, and I think these two work great together.
