    The new Hadraw Shield is a defensive blade of the next generation.
    Its thin 5-ply structure makes for less weight and adds control to any defensive situation.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly rated for defensive performance among shakehand rackets, though its heavy weight limits the player pool. Valued for spin and stability, with many regretting the discontinuation of the Shibuya Pro model original.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent stability and sharpness in cuts and blocks
    • Thin blade makes spin generation easy
    • Good balance between defense and attack with moderate rebound
    • Heavy weight provides strong response to hard shots
    • High versatility in rubber selection
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveCuts are extremely stable and consistent with excellent spin. The moderate bounce allows stable driving. This racket offers outstanding balance between offense and defense.
    ▽ CriticalQuite heavy, making consecutive drives difficult. Smashes feel lacking in bounce. The grip wood has low density and easily becomes dirty through friction.

      B-BLUE (Experience: ２〜３ years) Outstanding stability

      Player reviews

      As expected of the reissue of the Shibuya Pro Model. Chops just land, stable, no matter what. The spin amount leaves nothing to be desired. It bounces just the right amount, so drives are stable too. The feel reminded me a bit of the Innerforce ZLF. Personally, I felt that a super-stiff Chinese rubber like Hurricane doesn't suit it that well. I think it's better to pair it with a somewhat softer rubber.

      Spring (Experience: ２〜３ years) Nice!

      Player reviews

      I've been playing table tennis for 2-3 years.
      This blade has really good control and a great feel.
      The blade itself is stable and good whether attacking or defending, but pairing it with the high-friction rubber [Rev Spin] makes it even more stable and even better, I think.
      [The blade itself is on the heavier side.]

      A blade that lands shots whether you're attacking or defending.

      It's a blade with pretty good ball-holding feel.
      The feel when hitting is like the ball sinks right into the blade. I felt like smashes were a little lacking in bounce. Lob rallies might drag on, so I think it works well for players with decent power, but overall it feels better suited to drives.
