    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    An advanced player-oriented racket with excellent rebound and spin performance, characterized by a hard hitting feel and substantial weight. Highly effective when mastered, but success heavily depends on strong impact strength and racket-rubber compatibility.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Outstanding bounce and sharp balls with low trajectories
    • Hard hitting feel with stable spin performance
    • Heavy weight requires strong impact technique
    • Ideal for aggressive shots like loops and drives
    • Beautiful design and superior craftsmanship
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveA racket that combines both rotation and speed. Stops properly, cuts effectively with topspin, easy to catch at mid-court, and despite the hardness, provides excellent feel and control.
    ▽ CriticalOn off-days with weak impact, balls hit the net. Requires extremely strong impact to handle and is too heavy for players unable to swing it through properly.

      ahirU96 Hard despite being 5-ply

      Player reviews

      I use a Chinese penhold grip.
      First off, it really bounces well. In terms of feel, I'd say it bounces even more than the Evolution NCT VII.
      The feel is hard and suits a striking style, so I think it also works well for players who attack close to the table. It holds the ball on the racket surprisingly well thanks to the flex you only get from a 5-ply blade, so I think it's also good for topspin drives.
      The control is good too, and it's surprisingly easy to handle.
      If there's a weakness, it's the weight, but since STIGA lets you check their stock, you should be able to find one around 85g.
      The design is nice too. I'd recommend it.

      Bamboo Panda (Experience: ６〜１０ years) The ball really flies!

      Player reviews

      My first impression was the sound — it makes a high-pitched "clack, clack" when you hit the ball.
      Just like the maker says, it bounces incredibly well. It bounces so much you'd wonder if it's really wood.
      The ball leaves the blade quickly and has speed, so when you hit it, it really zips off.
      Because of that, at first I couldn't get good spin on it and kept sending balls long, but once you get used to it the ball really flies with spin.
      If you drive close to the table it tends to go long, so hitting from mid-distance is best.
      Blocks and topspin rallies are relatively easy to do.
      You need to be careful with serves and receives — they tend to go off the end of the table.
      Also watch out for the weight (mine was 95g...).
      Strong high schoolers or adults can bring out its full potential,
      but it might be a bit much for elementary or middle schoolers. Still, if you can handle it, it's a really great blade.
