    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    An outer ALC racket that achieves a soft hitting feel and excellent ball retention through its Limba wood top plate, offering a well-balanced combination of speed and control. It receives high ratings from beginners to intermediate-advanced players, though users note it is not suitable for front-court players and requires practice and technical skill to master.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Soft hitting feel despite outer ALC material with good ball retention
    • Excellent balance of speed, rotation, and control
    • Particularly suitable for players who retreat and play from mid-to-back court
    • Weight variation between individual units
    • Requires technique adjustment for front-court play
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveRecommended for those who want outer rackets with both ball control and speed. This racket excels at ball retention, with all performance aspects balanced at a high level.
    ▽ CriticalFor front-court players, the performance is only 30-40% compared to 100% at the back court. Players who don't retreat shouldn't buy this as it won't be useful, making racket selection based on playing style essential.

      WAON A very good racket

      Player reviews

      When I first started using it, shots kept flying too long, but as I got used to it things became more consistent.
      Since switching to this blade, I feel like the quality of my drives has gone up.
      You get speed, you get spin, and the feel on contact is amazing. That said, I think it takes some practice to really get used to it.

      This is the best blade I've ever used!
      No complaints at all about speed or spin!
      The ball really flies!
      I think any rubber pairs well with it!
      The grip design is sleek and cool too!

      Player reviews

      I put on the tacky tension Hui Long on one side and the reliable Fastarc G1 on the other.
      When I hit with it, I felt like the ball-holding is the best I've experienced.
      Serves are easy to produce, drives really extend, and it's light — nothing but good points.

      The first time I used it, I thought it flew a bit too much,
      but I got used to it as I kept playing.
      I also felt it suits topspin rallies from mid-distance well.

      If you put a Chinese tacky tension rubber
      on the forehand, you can hit incredibly consistently.
      (Just my personal impression)
      The forehand is easy to use,
      but the backhand felt a little harder to handle.
      Since the ball leaves the blade quickly, spin-oriented tension rubbers
      might also be a good match!

      Player reviews

      The Freitas ALC combines speed and spin at a high level, letting you play every technique consistently. That said, after using it for a long time it can start to feel a little boring because it's almost too stable. Still, it's a great blade for winning matches, and a great first carbon blade to try!

      OL Napolitan (Experience: 2〜3 years) The best blade

      Player reviews

      Just the right amount of bounce and the feel on contact is spot on. Blocking feels effortless — like it just goes in without any fuss. The grip is a bit on the thick side, so it might feel a little big for people with small hands. For people with average-sized hands it fits perfectly! It might be a bit heavy, but you can still swing all the way through with confidence. Ideal for intermediate to advanced players!
