    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.

      This is from Butterfly's very famous Innerforce series, but among them, this blade stands out with performance a level above the rest. Everything about it is on a high level, so I'd want everyone to try it at least once!

      The thing I liked most is that the short game is easy to play.
      Carbon blades are generally good on offense, but they tend to bounce too much on soft touches, making the short game hard to control — this blade, though, stays stable, closer to a 5-ply all-wood feel.
      Another feature is that meet-hit techniques bring out the carbon's strengths and bounce really well.
      Players who use the block/short technique can generate power more easily than with a 5-ply blade.
      Loop-style drives are just as easy to hit as with a 5-ply blade.
      If you hit the drive hard into the blade you get a fast ball, but compared to a wood blade, it feels a little harder to generate arc through the flex of the wood.
      Hitting from a slightly higher contact point than you would with a wood blade gives you a better drive.
      I'd recommend this to players using a wood blade who want more power on their finishing shots.

      The clothing there is a cutlet ... (Experience: 4〜5 years) The best blade

      Player reviews

      Good ball-holding and good spin. It takes a bit of muscle, but instead of feeling like one of those super-stiff, blast-off blades, it has a soft wooden feel (medium to slightly soft). So I think it's ideal for control. As for speed, it has ZLC in it, but it still felt faster than a soft wooden blade. I'd call it around mid-fast, though that depends on the person. Even with the special material, it keeps the bounce somewhat restrained, so I think it's a blade that control-oriented players would want.

      Medium pen (Experience: 6〜10 years) Well balanced

      Player reviews

      You get a good amount of both spin and speed. It takes some muscle, but when you hit the ball it feels soft and all-around wonderful. It pairs excellently with Tenergy.
