Its thin 5-ply structure makes for less weight and adds control to any defensive situation.

I bought this wondering what the Shibuya Pro Model was like
Picking it up, it has a solid, noticeable heft, but I thought this might just be the best blade out there for a chopper
When I actually tried it out, I was surprised
You get nice, stable rallies with a comfortable feel
And when I tried chopping with it, I was even more surprised
It's stable
Just relentlessly stable and rips hard
You can grind it out defensively with heavy chops, or go for an attacking-chopper style and sneak in attacks when there's an opening!
All in all, it turned out to be an all-around bladeOverall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

My friend uses it. I tried it too, and it gives really stable chops.
He used to have 05 on it, but said it was too hard, so he switched to 05FX.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I borrowed this from a chopper in my club. First, the forehand chop returns the ball with strong backspin. Since the blade has slightly reduced bounce, the chop was stable, naturally. I used pips on the backhand, and just like the forehand, I could return the ball consistently. Attacking is also stable for a defensive blade. I'd recommend this blade if you want a stable chop.

Borrowed this from a clubmate, so here's my review.
It felt different from the Shibuya Pro Model I'd used before — though the rubber was different too, so that's part of it — but the chop feels sharp on this one right away.
When attacking, the ball comes out a bit slower than my usual blade, which was a little disappointing, but it's better for control. You might even be able to run Tenergy on the forehand with this.
The long pips on the backhand chop well too, maybe thanks to the weight. The short game feels reassuring as well.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

The spin on both attacks and chops is great.
Right now, for various reasons, I'm using a defensive inverted rubber, but back when I had an offensive rubber on this blade and was chopping with it, the backspin I could put on the ball was terrifying.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

It's easy to chop and also easy to attack with, so the balance between offense and defense feels really good.

I was torn between this and Butterfly's Joo Se Hyuk blade, but I went with the Hadraw Field, since you can put various forehand rubbers on it.
I actually put a tension rubber on the forehand and could use it without any trouble, so I really like it.
With a tension rubber on it, you get plenty of bounce for smashes, and it still clamps the ball down nicely on chops — I like that moderate bounce.
People often say it's heavy, but if you're a chopper with long pips on the backhand, it's not that noticeable.
There's a similar blade, the Matsushita Koji, so this one is a bit overshadowed, but I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to use Butterfly gear.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard
