Diary of Nikki (Experience: ２〜３ years) Easy to use

Easy to use.
It's light, so it feels like a great choice if you don't have much muscle and are trying table tennis for the first time. That said, I think once you build up muscle you'll start feeling your swing get faster and something will feel a bit off. It's a blade that feels just right for a first racket. Even advanced players have said it might be nice since it's light and cheap. I really like it with V15 Extra tension rubber and Fly At Soft. By the way, the wood on my copy is pretty worn out.

Take it easy (Experience: ２〜３ years) Good as your first blade

I'd recommend this as your first racket. The control is good and the price is cheap, so it's great.

Polite tenacity (Experience: Less than a year) Just so easy to use!!!

You can get quite a lot of spin on it!
And smashes go in well too.
Also, as a side note, when paired with Safira it feels great to hit with and smashes go in easily.

And since it's cheap, I'd also recommend it to people who spend a lot on rubber and can't afford an expensive racket but still want a good one!

Tomo (Experience: ２〜３ years) The one for beginners

This was the first racket I bought
It's for beginners, and every technique feels easy to do with it, but among beginner rackets it bounces a bit more
It pairs well with all kinds of rubbers, but since it's aimed at beginners, I think it's good to switch to another racket once you improve
It's on the light side and easy to swing, so I think it's really good

Rie (Experience: Less than a year) Easy to use! Great value for money.

This was the first racket I bought when I joined the table tennis club in middle school.
It was marketed as an all-round racket, so I figured this would work and started using it.
It had plenty of speed, and with a normal rubber, the spin performance was no problem at all.
Since the control is good, rallies are nice and stable and it's easy to land smashes too.
I'd recommend it for beginners who don't want to spend too much on a racket but still want something reasonably serious!
