Bob@S (Experience: １１〜２０ years) The benchmark blade for plastic balls
-
2018/09/15
National team player Oshima uses this blade, and a lot of college players use it too — it's become one of the benchmark blades for the plastic ball era. A lot of people struggled with getting pushed around by the ball or having trouble putting spin on it after the switch from celluloid to plastic balls, but with the Fortius FT there's nothing that feels hard to do — topspin drives, hitting, the short game, counters, none of it gives you trouble. It works fine with tension rubbers, tacky rubbers, and short pips too, and the price is reasonable, so I'd say any attacking player should try it at least once. The one downside is that the blade is on the heavy side, and being a 7-ply, the heavier individual blades tend to fly better. There wasn't a choice for the feel so I picked the harder one, but I'd call it medium.

It feels great to hit the ball with this one.
It's suited for players who swing big and bold.
This blade is heavy, but I want people to use it knowing that going in.
It pairs amazingly well with Mizuno's GFT4 rubber!!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

It puts plenty of spin on the ball, has good speed, and the feel is nice too, so I really can't find anything bad about it. The price is reasonable as well. It's heavy, so I'd recommend it to people who can swing all the way through. I really liked it myself.

This was my first time using a 7-ply, and it was really easy to use! I'm not a fan of the feel of Hinoki (cypress) wood, but aside from that, it's totally fine!

Everyone rates this highly and the reviews are good, so I got curious and bought it. Honestly, it's just okay for me. It doesn't bounce as much as everyone says, and it doesn't flex as much as I expected either. For me, 7-plies from other makers are clearly better. Maybe something like the 5-ply Intensity has more bounce, if anything. There is a sense of gripping the ball, but somehow I just wasn't that impressed. It's not going to be a partner for my table tennis.
Also, I don't like the sound it makes when you hit.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

This blade completely changed my playing style. The feel is soft, so it's easy to put spin on the ball, and the ball speed is pretty decent too. I think putting a GF series rubber on the forehand really boosts the stability!! The only issue is that it's heavy.

Up until now I'd been using a Viscaria with Tenergy 05FX and Impartial XS, but I wanted more spin and stability, so I decided to switch.
On forehand shots it produces a nice arc, and light shots with short pips on the backhand also have good pop — I got a good impression from it.
When I hit a forehand drive, the ball really carries through, giving that ideal feel.
Serve receive hasn't changed much from before, but it's not hard to do.
The only thing I found a bit tricky was meeting the ball on the forehand, but it's not that I can't do it at all, so it didn't bother me too much.
It also has good value for money, and I think it's a blade that's easy for anyone to handle.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
