    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.

      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 blade

      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.

      DONG 7 (Experience: 6〜10 years) Defensive blade, stable both offense and defense

      Player reviews

      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.

      Cut favorite cut man (Experience: 6〜10 years) A recommended, wonderful blade

      Player reviews

      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.

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

      Lotte (Experience: 4〜5 years) Good for attacking, good for defending

      Player reviews

      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.
