    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly praised for its ease of use and balanced performance thanks to its inner carbon construction, it is recognized as an excellent beginner and intermediate-level racket. However, many users note that speed and spin performance are modest, requiring careful rubber selection to supplement the racket's capabilities.

    • Excellent control and balanced performance
    • Modest speed and spin performance

    ▲ PositiveWith its inner carbon construction and stability, this racket is easy for beginners to handle with good compatibility with soft rubbers. It feels like the ball goes in even with loose swings.
    ▽ CriticalDespite using carbon, the speed is modest, and the driving power lacks compared to other carbon rackets, which is disappointing.

      Novice kid (Experience: ４〜５ years) Carbon blade, but easy to use

      Player reviews

      A rare carbon blade from Mizuno.
      You don't really feel the carbon much in this blade, but once you use it, it's surprisingly well-balanced and gives solid speed. There's no trouble with the short game either. Any performance it's lacking, you can just make up for with your rubber choice. I think it's plenty good for players up to intermediate level.

      DD table tennis member (Experience: ６〜１０ years) For carbon beginners & players lacking power

      Player reviews

      I'd always used 7-ply blades like the Fortius FT, and I bought this as my first carbon blade. Everything about it is reasonably easy to handle, and since it's quite light, it suits a quick-swinging style of play or junior high school players. Just be aware that the feel is light, but the ball itself also ends up feeling light. I think it's a really good blade if you're using short pips on the forehand. If you want inverted rubber on both sides, Butterfly's Viscaria might beat it in terms of spin performance. It doesn't produce much of a high-pitched sound when you hit it, so it's probably not for people looking for that metallic ring.

      Table tennis stupid (Experience: ４〜５ years) Seems to pair well with Tenergy??

      Player reviews

      Since it's an inner-carbon blade, I think it pairs well with softer rubbers like Tenergy 05.
      It's also stable, so even beginners can handle it easily,
      and in both a good and bad way, even with the carbon sandwiched in there, the speed doesn't come out too much, so you get the sense that you can swing pretty carelessly and it'll still go in!
      Personally I really like this blade!

      A bottle Easy to handle with good balance

      Player reviews

      Right off the bat, everything felt easy to do with this one. Good control, good balance. That said, the power on topspin drives is on the low side compared to other carbon blades. Also, as for the feel — put on a hard rubber and you get a moderately hard feel; put on a soft rubber and, being an inner-carbon blade, it feels really "wood!"
      I guess this one's suited to people trying carbon for the first time.

      Tatsudeko (Experience: ２〜３ years) A bit on the hard side, but...

      Player reviews

      It's on the harder side, but the speed isn't really all that, if I'm honest.
      It's supposed to be an easy-to-handle carbon blade, but... I feel like speed has been sacrificed for that.

      This is Mizuno's only (?) special-material blade.
      Most things are easy to do with it.
      The push in the short game is easy to control for a special-material blade.

      If you ask what it's best at, it's control, but that doesn't mean the speed and spin are bad either—not at all. It's an all-around solid blade, so I'd recommend it to everyone!
