Manyu (Experience: １１〜２０ years) Easy to handle

I didn't buy this for serious competition use.
My first impression was that it didn't feel heavy even with max-thickness rubber on both sides.
It has good bounce, but not too much, and I thought it was a well-balanced blade that's very easy to control. The feel on contact was pleasant too. Overall it reminds me of the discontinued Reygando.
The grip is anatomic, so it fits nicely in the hand. And the blade's design, and the box too, look great.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Easy to drive from close to the table through mid-distance. It's all-round enough that you can chop with it too. Smashes have amazing power as well.

The first thing I noticed hitting with it is the speed. But it doesn't fly too far. It's easy to serve with and easy to put spin on drives — a really good blade. Shots go in even when you back away from the table.

This is a really good blade for players who play from mid-distance. It's not like you get one massive shot close to the table, but the consistency of heavy, spin-focused drives from mid-distance is insane.

V15 (Experience: ６〜１０ years) A soft-feeling ALC

Compared to the Timo Boll ALC or the Kenta Matsudaira ALC, the feel is softer, so I'd place it as an ALC with a stronger grabbing sensation.
The ball doesn't leave the blade all that quickly, and it's a blade that lets you hit drives that really extend out, especially from mid-distance.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard
