Really great
Easy to handle, I really like it
But at first I felt the control was a bit difficult
For intermediate players — for middle schoolers, I think the second half of 2nd year is a good time to start using itOverall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

The reasons I chose this were the grip and the feel. I liked the grip because it's black. As for the feel, I felt that among special-material blades, this one leans more toward a wood-like feel. I think it's a good blade for people who want to try ALC, or a special-material blade in general.

I compared this to the outer arylate carbon blades currently on the market: the Timo Boll ALC, the Zhang Jike ALC, and the Gareidia ALC.
Speed
Timo Boll < Gareidia < Zhang Jike < Freitas
Power (impact, destructive force)
Gareidia < Timo Boll < Zhang Jike < Freitas
Control
Zhang Jike < Freitas < Timo Boll < Gareidia
Distance
Gareidia < Timo Boll < Zhang Jike < Freitas
Ease of putting spin on the ball
Gareidia < Freitas < Zhang Jike < Timo Boll
That's roughly how it felt. Well, this is just my personal impression, but I'd be glad if it's useful as a reference. Also, compared to other arylate carbon blades, the Freitas made all-round play easier, so definitely give it a try.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Since it's an arylate carbon blade, it has amazing speed and power. Also, even though the surface wood is hard, the feel is soft, so it's very easy to handle.

What defines this blade, above all, is speed and control! Once you hit with it, you can tell right away how fast it is!
However, the spin it generates on its own is a bit low, so like me, it's a good idea to put something like Tenergy 05 or Fastarc G1 on it! I've started beating opponents I couldn't beat before! If you hit it like a smash it tends to fly off the table, so if you commit to a proper drive, you get to enjoy amazing stability and speed!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Drives with this blade are very stable and fast. However, since Rasant Beat is soft, you don't get a lot of spin on serves, but I think if you use something like Tenergy 05, you could get sharp spin! Also, it has a lot of bounce, so I don't think it's suited for beginners. I think it pairs well with a harder rubber.
