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

I bought this on a friend's recommendation.
Even though I use tacky rubber on my forehand, the blade itself gives enough bounce that shots still land consistently even when I'm playing further back, and it's also easy to produce tricky spin.
On the backhand with a spin/tension rubber, blocks, drives, chiquita — pretty much every technique is easy to pull off.
Even flipping it over to use the other side changes the ball quality quite a bit, so I feel like I got a really good buy.
For this level of performance, the price is amazing.

Chou Kuroneko (Experience: More than ２０ years) Power-focused yet easy to handle 7-ply

I used to use the Swat, a 7-ply with a nice flexy feel and good power, and I liked it, but there was a period when I was using Chinese rubber on both sides and felt like the backhand didn't have quite enough bounce, so I wanted a blade with just a bit more bounce and tried the Fortius FT.
The feel on contact is harder than the Swat, but it's not too soft or too hard — I'd call it a slightly bouncy blade that stays within a range you can control yourself. Just as advertised, it bounces strongly on drives and smashes when you want to hit hard, but doesn't bounce too much on light shots like the short game, so it's easy to handle. It pairs well with the Chinese rubber I use on my forehand, and even with a Chinese rubber that doesn't bounce much on its own, this blade's extra bounce is enough to give real power on forehand kill shots. As for the weight issue everyone mentions, I actually made my racket heavier on purpose because I wanted a heavier ball quality on my drives. The backhand bounce I was worried about also pairs well with the rubber I use, and blocks sit down nicely too. It's a power-oriented but well-balanced 7-ply, and I think if you put on a lighter rubber like short pips, it could work for women players too. I think the appeal of this blade is that it hits just the right balance.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

First off, I'd recommend Mizuno's GF series rubbers with this. The T48 in particular apparently feels great. I actually bought the Pro by mistake, lol. It's also a good pick for short pips players on the backhand, ha. The short game is close to perfect (for a 7-ply, anyway), and the power on a single shot is exactly what you'd expect from a 7-ply. Serves get a lot of spin too, lol. If you can get used to the weight, I think it can be really strong.
Anyway, everyone, keep working hard at table tennis.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Hibiki (Experience: ４〜５ years) A classic 7-ply

This is a classic, traditional 7-ply blade.
It has a thick blade with a slightly thicker-than-average handle.
When you hit with it, it's not especially fast, but it holds the ball fairly well and still produces good power. It also seems fairly flexible when it comes to rubber choice. The top ply tends to peel easily, so I'd be careful when pulling the rubber off.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Right (Experience: ４〜５ years) Too bouncy

It might partly be down to the rubber, but
it's too bouncy and my drives just don't land at all.
I wouldn't recommend pairing it with V15, lol.
Something like Tenergy 05 seems like it would suit it better.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

This might be a good fit if you like using heavier equipment. It's easy to put spin on, so I'd recommend it. I used to use a more expensive carbon blade before this, but I switched over. Also, this blade has really great value for money.
