      Origin 5-ply wood is great

      Player reviews

      It's listed as mid-fast, but it actually performs like a fast blade.
      On top of that, it works with any rubber, so it feels like a great deal!

      This is a blade I used back in junior high.
      Just like the name suggests, it felt like a Korbel with the speed turned up. Because of that, it's a blade for drive-oriented players. It's very easy to attack with, but I found serves and short-game techniques a bit hard to do. Switching from an all-round blade might be a bit of an adjustment, but switching from a special-material blade should be easy. Recommended.

      It has a good amount of flex and pairs well with tacky rubbers. It's got a decent amount of speed too.

      RAKZA Boy (Experience: 2〜3 years) Perfect except for the weight

      Player reviews

      Simply amazing, in a word.
      It's easy to control, and the top ply is soft, so it pairs really well with harder rubbers like Rakza 7.
      If there's one drawback, it's that it's heavy.
      With Rakza glued on both sides, the total weight came to 197 grams. So for players with inverted rubber on both sides who don't have a lot of power, I'd suggest pairing it with a slightly lighter rubber.

      Table Tennis highest (Experience: 4〜5 years) Nice~!

      Player reviews

      The blade is big, easy to put spin on, and it has good speed too!
      When I tried it with plastic balls, the bounce was toned down a bit and my topspin drives became a lot more stable.
      It's cheap too, and I think it's easy to use for a wide range of players, from intermediate to advanced!

      super (Experience: 4〜5 years) Butterfly's most balanced 5-ply racket

      Player reviews

      Speed, spin, and control are all good enough to satisfy intermediate players. Advanced players might find the bounce a bit lacking, but I think it's plenty for middle and high schoolers... It's a blade that works with any rubber. I've been using mine for over 3 years.

      fhattori121101 Great with tacky rubber!

      Player reviews

      I haven't been playing table tennis long enough to really compare blades, but this one feels great.
      It's a bit on the heavy side, but I think it's especially well suited to tacky rubber. It also has good bounce, so it works well with tension rubber too.
      Just note that even though it's called the "Korbel Speed," its performance is different from the regular "Korbel," so keep that in mind.
