    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    The overwhelming majority rate it highly as a versatile all-around racket that excels for penhold use. The unique feel combining wood and carbon with excellent spin control is the main appeal, though some note that it requires practice and skill to master.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent ball retention and spin performance, easy to hit stable drives
    • Soft wood-like feel despite carbon material, superior control characteristics
    • Versatile across all techniques: table play, loop drives, serve receive
    • Exceptional compatibility with offensive rubbers, especially Tenergy
    • Springy response that can suppress short touches yet explosively drive aggressive shots
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe hitting feel is good including backhand drives I'm trying for the first time, with moderate rebound that I appreciate. Considering tabletop handling and backhand operability, there's a strong possibility I'll continue using it.
    ▽ CriticalDespite being an inner-type, the carbon hardness is felt, making table play and receiving somewhat difficult to handle. Though with continued use, the challenging control aspects should resolve over time.

      I love Table Tennis (Experience: 6〜10 years) Amazing, just wonderful

      Player reviews

      Topspin rallies, the short game, serves, receives, and smashes are all well balanced. It's a truly wonderful blade.

      abc soup (Experience: 6〜10 years) Holds the ball yet still flies

      Player reviews

      This is my impression after about 2 years of use. I got a heavy unit at 89g.
      It's an inner blade that combines high power with good ball-holding - a genuinely high-performance racket - but it's a bit tricky to handle. Light touches don't bounce much, yet hard hits really fly, so that takes some getting used to too. Personally though, I love the feel and just can't bring myself to switch away from this racket. If you want both ball-holding and bounce, I'd say pick one up and give it a try.

      Stray clouds in Shibuya (Experience: More than 20 years) Maybe the best for my level?

      Player reviews

      I picked table tennis back up at 65, after a 25-year break.
      I played in a corporate/community team tournament at 37 before getting too busy and stepping away (I'd also retired once before, back in high school, after making it to the Kyushu regional tournament and then hurting my knee - I picked it back up casually once I became a working adult). This time I came back purely as a hobby, more like a collector.
      I originally played penhold with short pips, close to the table, fast-attack style, but I tried Chinese-penhold and started hunting around for equipment.
      I started with the MA LIN SG, then bought the Viscaria Super ALC and the SK7 Classic, but none of them quite felt right...
      The SK7 was too heavy, the Viscaria Super ALC had too much bounce, and the MA LIN SG struggled to hold up against blocks.
      The last one I bought (though who knows if there'll be another) was this racket, and including the backhand strokes I'm trying for the first time, the feel is great, and personally I like its moderate rebound.
      If I get a bit better, I might go back to the Viscaria Super ALC.
      But given how it handles the short game and backhand control, there's a good chance I'll just keep using this one as is.

      pendora middle school (Experience: 6〜10 years) The best blade

      Player reviews

      Easy to put spin on. Light touches feel like wood, while hard hits bring out the carbon - the short game stays controlled, and drives come out with a sharp trajectory. I'd recommend it for intermediate players and above.
      It's not cheap, but it's definitely worth trying.

      www (Experience: More than 20 years) This racket for life

      Player reviews

      This racket is the best. I currently own 3 of them - two for hardbat/standard ball (to try out rubbers that suit me) and one for large ball. I don't think I'll ever use another racket as my main one again. The control, feel, flex, and rebound (amazing on hard shots!) are all great. Over the table you can hit soft shots too, and stops drop right near the net beautifully. I've been undefeated at large ball since I started using it too (lol), though it's only been about half a year. Mind you, there haven't been many matches lately because of Covid (lol).

      tenn (Experience: 6〜10 years) Very easy to use!

      Player reviews

      Really easy to hit with!
      It grips the ball well and the feel is great!
      Even from far off the table, the shots land in nicely - it's a really good racket!
      The blade's stiffness is just right too, so I think it works with all kinds of rubbers!
      You can do all sorts of techniques with it and it's easy to use, so definitely give it a try!!

      Rudder What is this blade?!!

      Player reviews

      How should I put it...
      In a word: amazing.
      The ball is heavy, and it still gets plenty of speed.
      It also pairs great with Tenergy
