Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
The thin and easy-to-grip handle is the standout feature, receiving high praise from people with small hands, women, and juniors. While the basic performance matches the Timobor ALC, the unique grip shape makes backhand and table-top techniques particularly convenient, earning consistently high overall ratings.
■ Frequently Mentioned Points
- Thin, round grip that's easy to hold for small hands
- Backhand and table-top techniques are especially smooth
- Outer carbon provides good rebound and lightweight feel
- Nearly equivalent basic performance to Timobor ALC
- Excellent compatibility with firm rubbers like Tenergy 05
■ Representative Voices
▲ PositiveThe thin grip is comfortable to hold, and my backhand significantly improved. All techniques are easy to execute with smooth forehand-to-backhand transitions, and this racket seems to have no weaknesses. Table-top plays like chiquita feel particularly natural.
▽ CriticalThe outer carbon structure provides good rebound but sacrifices ball retention compared to inner or wooden rackets, making it difficult to hit heavy balls. Control performance also receives mixed feedback from users.
