    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly rated as a high-performance racket suitable for aggressive playing styles, while many note that its weight and difficulty in handling make it best for advanced players. The combination of speed, spin, and power characteristics is widely appreciated.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent speed performance with straight, powerful drive shots that are easy to execute
    • Good compatibility with tacky rubber and high spin capability
    • Thin grip provides stable backhand with smooth transitions between forehands and backhands
    • Requires weight management and high operational skill, designed for advanced players
    • Difficult for beginners to handle, requiring time to adapt
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveSpin and speed are achieved at a high level simultaneously, yet control is effective. A great racket that works with various rubbers!
    ▽ CriticalThe flight resembles outer-type rackets with a hard hitting feel, causing beginners to lose control with fast ball release and produce weak shots. Recommended for advanced players with strong power.

      Penguin (Experience: 4〜5 years) Bounces well

      Player reviews

      I switched over from the Innerforce Layer ALC.S, and it really flies even with Hurricane rubber. I'd heard it flies a lot, but it flies so much that if you don't hit it properly, the ball goes off the table. I felt it's suited for intermediate to advanced players. That said, drives and chiquitas felt really easy to do. Short serves also come off nice and short with plenty of spin.

      Tea ayataka (Experience: 4〜5 years) Once mastered, this racket packs serious power!

      Player reviews

      This racket is so fast that even with tacky rubber you get incredible speed! Which means it can be hard to control. Also, at first the weight might feel really heavy. But in the end, once you can handle it, it's the strongest there is!

      Player reviews

      The feel is hard, but in a way I think that's really good, because
      the hardness gives the ball more power and lets you push your opponent back,
      so it felt really nice to me

      ( '· ∀ · `) Aramaa (Experience: 4〜5 years) The ideal trajectory

      Player reviews

      Drives fly on the ideal trajectory and drive right into the table. Yet you can still swing with plenty of spin. I had this preconception that it should be paired with tacky rubber, but German tension rubber works just fine too. If anything, it might even be better, since you can put spin on a fast drive.

      Those of there All Japan competed experience (Experience: 6〜10 years) To win — recommended for attackers

      Player reviews

      This racket is insanely fast, so it pairs great with tacky rubber. I used to use the Ma Long 5, but after switching, my backhand drives and chiquitas got faster. That said, the stability went down, and if you're not used to it, you can lose control and even lose to opponents you should beat. So it's a good idea to practice properly and get used to this racket. Also, the reason I put Rasant on my backhand side is that it's soft and easy to control. It still gives you decent spin and speed, so if you can't afford Tenergy, I'd recommend putting on Rasant like I do.

      Supra (Experience: 4〜5 years) Amazing racket!

      Player reviews

      It's an excellent racket - you get tons of speed, and spin gets put on the ball just by touching it. It's pricey, but I really recommend everyone try it out!

      butterfly Staff (Experience: More than 20 years) Good

      Player reviews

      I'm normally a Butterfly guy, but I ended up going with Nittaku because of the looks and the name lol
      It really lives up to the hype. The Ma Long name isn't just for show! It's number one for how easily drives go in and how much destructive power they have! The looks are great, it's strong, it's just an insane piece of equipment.
