    The Arylate Carbon fibers are located closer to the core than with non-layer blades, which leads to a softer touch and stunning feel.

    Arylate-Carbon fibers dampen vibration and allow for dynamic play and precise placement.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly praised as an ideal balance-type racket for transitioning from wooden rackets. The characteristic of feeling like wood on soft shots and benefiting from carbon flex on powerful shots is supported by a wide range of users from beginners to advanced players.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Best of both worlds: wood feel on soft shots, carbon flex on power shots
    • Excellent combination of spin and speed, especially powerful drives
    • Easy handling unique to inner rackets for touch shots and blocking
    • Great compatibility with tension-type rubbers like Tenergy
    • Versatility usable by everyone from intermediate to advanced players
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveI can't forget the excitement when I switched from a wooden racket. The balance is excellent. With inner rackets basically all back rubbers work. I've never seen a tournament where this racket wasn't used.
    ▽ CriticalThe price is a bit high - the official retail price of 16,500 yen feels expensive. Since there's no standout performance, there may be cases where users become dissatisfied.

      Really easy to use! Every technique feels easy!

      I use long pips and I can block solidly with it.

      Topspin drives are really easy, and it's easy to get power behind them!
      I can put a good amount of spin on my loops too.

      Cannot Get Better Disease (Experience: 2〜3 years)

      Player reviews

      Flicks and stops were easy to do. But I don't think it's suited to players who drop back and hit hard from a distance.

      I love Koki Niwa 〜! (Experience: 2〜3 years) A little unsatisfying, maybe??

      Player reviews

      I think this blade pairs well with Tenergy.
      Topspin drives and
      smashes are easy to hit, I think.
      But personally, I might prefer regular all-wood blades over special-material ones.

      Oorenji (Experience: 4〜5 years) Easy to use

      Player reviews

      This blade is really easy to use. It's especially good for mid-distance play. It holds its own in topspin rallies too. And since the carbon is inner, control is easy as well. I'd recommend it as a first special-material blade.

      Player reviews

      Every technique is easy to pull off. Works well whether you're playing the short game, mid-distance, or away from the table. Spin and speed are both good too.

      Player reviews

      It's been almost a year since I started using this. First, the short game - with enough skill, anything you try lands. The feel for stops is really good, and chiquita really rips. Pushes are easy to cut too, and there's no technique that feels hard to do. Even in rallies, when I can't swing fully and get a scrambling shot off, it still turns into a decent ball.
      I tend to drop back quite a bit, and because of that I was torn on whether to go with a ZLC instead, but if you swing all the way through it still lands as a good ball.
      Also, getting used to it coming from an all-wood blade isn't too hard, so I think it's a good first blade to switch to from wood.

      Manyu (Experience: 11〜20 years) Gearing up from wood to special materials

      Player reviews

      Up until now, I'd only used arylate carbon blades with the carbon on the outer layer.
      I bought this one aiming to tone down the bounce a bit and focus more on spin and control, and to build up more feel for the ball.
      Since the carbon is inner, spin and control were easier than expected, just as I thought they'd be. Power is a bit lower compared to outer carbon, but the feel is softer, and it was really refreshing to hit with. It makes the game more fun.
      Also, since the blade itself is on the softer side, it opens up the option of pairing it with a harder rubber.
      It offers great value for money compared to other blades in its class - a truly excellent blade.
      I think it works well for anyone from advanced players to elementary schoolers, women's players, or as a step-up blade for moving from all-wood to special-material blades.
