This is a racket with a good balance of speed, spin, and control. When you topspin drive, it grips the ball firmly, and when you hit flat, you get a reasonably fast ball. It doesn't bounce too much in the short game either, so it's easy to control, and even a beginner should be able to handle it.
I'd recommend it to people who want to switch between drives and flat hits, and to beginners.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

It's easy to put spin on the ball and control is very good. Speed-wise, if you've used a special-material blade before, you'll probably find the speed and bounce a bit lacking. It doesn't fly with a light touch.

It can do everything, but nothing about it really stands out either. The Rozena I use is kind of the same — an all-around racket paired with an all-around rubber, so together they can do everything. I'd recommend this combo for junior high schoolers and the like.

This racket has really good balance, and I felt control was especially strong!
I think it's a racket that works well for a wide range of players, from beginners to advanced!
It's easy to attack with, and drives land very consistently!
It's easy to hit a high arcing drive, and I think you'll land good, deep drives with it!
Definitely give it a try!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Pretty much every technique feels good with this (I personally found the counter easy to do).
If you can swing properly, you get plenty of speed.
Loops grip a lot.
I'd recommend it to beginners looking for their second racket, or to advanced players who loop with inverted rubber on both sides.
I heard even some top-level players who've been to nationals use it and are good with it.
It can surprisingly handle chopping too.
Personally I'd recommend pairing it with a harder rubber.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

UMI (Experience: ２〜３ years) A good blade with stability, spin, and power

Compared to other rackets, this one doesn't fly out much, so it's very stable. It also grips spin well, so pushes, topspin drives, and serves all bite hard and get opponents to miss, and smashes come out with real power too. Speed is decent as well.
That said, the blade is a bit wider than other rackets (like the five-ply TSP racket I used before) — kind of like a chopper's blade — which makes switching directions harder, so it might be a bit weak in fast rallies. Also, since it really doesn't fly, if you play with the same feel as your old racket you might rack up a lot of net misses.
I'd recommend this racket to anyone who wants to win with spin, wants stable play, and wants to hit reasonably powerful shots. It's a good racket that works well from beginner to advanced level.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

All round table round (Experience: ４〜５ years) Butterfly's hidden masterpiece

I've been using this for about two years now. Other reviews have already covered the stability, so I guess I don't need to repeat that (lol), so I'll write about the power and the feel instead.
- Power
Honestly the initial speed off the racket isn't that fast, but the way the ball keeps accelerating after it hits the table and the amount of spin are incredible — opponents often send it long. You can hit a heavy ball.
- Feel
The soft-wood "poka-poka" feel it has is something that splits opinion. Hit the sweet spot and it really resonates in your hand.
- Grip (flared)
It's surprisingly thick and gives a solid, secure grip.
- Meet-hitting
Depends on the rubber, but it works fine.
- Who would I recommend this to?
I'd recommend it to almost everyone except close-to-the-table attackers, players who focus on rallies, or people using unorthodox rubbers who want speed.
It has strengths that carbon or hard rackets don't have. Please give it a try.
