Sho-go (Experience: １１〜２０ years) Good blade, but...

It's a blade with the classic all-wood feel — soft, and it grips the ball well. Moderate bounce, good ball-holding, no wild behavior over the table, and few rubbers that clash with it — as a package, I think it's a fantastic blade.
Since it has that classic 5-ply feel, it can suit a wide range of playing levels.
Spec-wise it's a really excellent blade, but the price is likely to be the sticking point.
There are cheaper 5-ply options like the Korbel, and premium 5-ply blades like the Acoustic or Wa no Kiwami, so at this price it's a bit hard to pick, but I think once you've used it, you'll want to keep using it for a long time.
I'd recommend it to players who love that classic 5-ply feel and want some bounce on top of it.
It's also quirk-free enough that I think anyone who tries it would call it a good blade.

YF (Experience: ４〜５ years) Stable drive! Just as advertised!

It doesn't have that much bounce, but the topspin drive is stable and excellent. The spin was a bit less than I expected, but it was still plenty. I also like that the design is simple and cool.

Hiroaki (Experience: ６〜１０ years) A pretty versatile racket

It's characterized by moderate bounce and stability, and it's really easy to use. This blade works for a wide range of players from beginners to advanced, and for choppers, I think it makes strong attacks possible, not just chops.

Bear (Experience: ４〜５ years) Excellent overall!

It's light and easy to swing
Personally I love the way it resonates in your hand lol
The balance is good too, so I don't think it really has any downsides!
It's great for drives, of course, but it's also good for chops.
Among all-wood blades, this is top-tier performance
, no doubt!!
