bass (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Backhand block finally lands

My elementary school daughter had been using a carbon blade from another maker, but she struggled with pushes and kept missing blocks long, so I decided to switch her to this one.
The feel took some getting used to at first, but in a good way it doesn't fly as much (making it easier to control), and she's become able to watch the ball well and move her opponent around with blocks. As a result, it's helped establish a style that suits her — absorbing the opponent's attacks and going on the offensive when a chance comes, which is a great outcome for this blade. As a bonus effect, she's now motivated to work on her weak pushes too because she likes the blade so much.
That said, it's still a fairly heavy blade, so a slim elementary schooler might end up straining their arm from swinging it around, or struggle to keep up in fast rallies.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Looking up to Yuya Oshima, this was the first blade I switched to back in junior high.
Honestly it feels really heavy, but when I hit with it, it flew so well I wondered if it could really be all wood.
It has that nice all-wood feel, the short game is easy, and it's good enough that you won't lose out in rallies even playing from further back.
The price has gone up a bit recently, but I still think it's a really great blade for how cheap it is!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Easy to put spin on and plenty of speed — sounds like it's all good, but it's incredibly heavy...
If you're not a power hitter, I think it could work well for a player using pips on one side, since the weight ends up being neither too heavy nor too light.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I've only test-hit it a little so far, but it's just really easy to handle. Spin comes easily and the price is reasonable too, so I'd recommend it.

Bought this as my third blade.
The short game feels easy, without the quirks you get from special-material blades. Drives have plenty of power too.
It is heavy, so that's the one thing to watch out for.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Bought this as my third blade, in penhold.
It's very easy to use.
Smashes have plenty of power, and drives are excellent too.It also generates a decent amount of spin, so it's a blade that should suit just about anyone.
I'd really recommend it to inverted-on-both-sides drive players.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

ukigumo66 (Experience: ４〜５ years) Ideal 7-ply with great value

Hitting some light shots, it had a moderately soft, nice feel on the ball. Then a hard drive — very fast, powerful shots come out. That's the strength of a 7-ply for you.
Next, the short game... amazing! Stops are solid. Drives over the table also have outstanding power.
Blocks and counters are excellent too. You don't get overpowered by the ball, so even a light swing is enough to get it in.
What's great about the Fortius FT is that it transmits your own power directly, which makes control really easy.
Personally, I felt it pairs well with spin-focused rubbers.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
