NO.1 table tennis review site

I used the FL88.1G racket. It's extra-thick on both sides, weighing 183.4g.

I gave up on this racket a year ago, but I repurchased it and am giving it another try.

I've finally experienced the performance that lives up to its reputation as a universally popular inner racket.

The bounce isn't too strong, and even when you hit it, it settles in nicely without flying too far.

The feel of the ball is solid, with a woody feel, and while this may vary from racket to racket, light hits felt softer than the Harimoto ALC.

Strong hits produce the satisfying metallic feel that's characteristic of ALC, making it easy to tell whether the hit was good or bad.

The thickness of the racket makes it difficult to block, and the ease of use on the table, typical of inner rackets, makes it less likely to have technical weaknesses.

Overall, it's a well-balanced racket, scoring about 70 points in all performance aspects.

Personally, I'd recommend using this racket as the third racket after a 5- or 7-rack racket. If you're a beginner, you'll probably find the feel to be quite hard.
