    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    The majority highly evaluate it as top-class performance among 5-ply plywood rackets. Many praise its spin-ability and stability, with excellent compatibility with sticky rubber. However, some note slight disadvantages in weight and speed compared to other models.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Surprising bounce for a 5-ply plywood racket
    • Easy spin application with good ball grip
    • Excellent compatibility with sticky rubber
    • Thin grip enables better touch techniques
    • Larger blade with tip-heavy weight distribution
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveTop-class performance among 5-ply plywood rackets with excellent balance between spin and speed. Works great with sticky rubber without distance concerns, adaptable to any playing style.
    ▽ CriticalLost bounce significantly compared to SK7. Unsuitable for flicks and smashes, specialized for heavy topspin techniques which beginners find difficult to control.

      I switched over from the SK7.
      The bounce is quite a bit lower than the SK7.

      The blade is large and the grip is thin, which felt a bit odd at first, and since the weight is toward the tip, adjusting the racket angle felt difficult until I got used to it.

      It's not really suited to techniques like flicks, smashes, or pushes, but with shots where you really put spin on the ball, I felt I could get exactly the ball I wanted, and it felt easy to use.

      I'd recommend this to players whose style is to generate their own spin on both forehand and backhand.

      Imitation pinpon (Experience: ６〜１０ years)

      Player reviews

      It doesn't fly too far, so it's easy to handle. You still get a decent amount of power. I think it pairs well with long pips too, and it's a good step up as you improve as a player.

      Player reviews

      The consistency is about the same as other 5-ply blades, but the power on topspin drives and smashes is on a completely different level from other 5-ply blades. I have long pips on the other side, and it pairs really well with long pips too.

      Player reviews

      Topspin drives have power while still staying consistent. I have pips-out rubber on the backhand, and it makes blocks and the occasional chop easy to play. When I flipped it around and put inverted rubber on the backhand instead, the short game (chiquita and the like) became easier to play.

      After all it is amazing (Experience: ４〜５ years) Amazing as expected

      Player reviews

      The Ma Long really is amazing, as expected.
      It suits the Fastarc series, the Tenergy series,
      and the Hurricane series too.
      My first impression when I started using it was that it flies incredibly far.

      Loves table tennis (Experience: ２〜３ years) Great compatibility with Butterfly

      Player reviews

      I tried pairing it with Tenergy
      and I think it really flies.
      It also pairs well with tacky rubbers,
      so I think it's a pretty good blade.

      Table tennis boy (Experience: ４〜５ years) The best!

      Player reviews

      Overall, I thought this is a blade that suits just about any playing style.
      The slim grip makes it really easy to hold, and I love that about it.
      The fact that the whole blade is black is one of the reasons I like it too!
