: The small brother of the Samsonov Force Pro blade; Vladi Samsonov, our multiple European and World Cup champion personally tested the prototype and said: “you can really feel each ball on the blade, no matter if you hit it hard or slow”. It features excellent speed and is supported with good acceleration. Perfect for players who prefer sensation, speed and spin.

Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary

This 7-ply racket is praised for its excellent ball retention and stable play despite its soft construction, excelling in all techniques including block, counter, and drive. Its versatility allows players from beginners to advanced users to adapt it by choosing appropriate rubbers and adjusting the grip.

■ Frequently Mentioned Points

Exceptional ball retention and spin control uncommon for 7-ply
Highly stable blocking and counter-attacking performance
Thick blade (6.8mm) delivers power and durability
Tabletop techniques as easy as 5-ply rackets
Grip is notably thick, often requiring adjustment

■ Representative Voices

▲ PositiveThe ball retention is remarkable for a 7-ply racket, and blocking and counters are incredibly stable. The drive feels satisfying with controlled spin before acceleration, making it ideal for Samsonov-style play that disrupts opponents from mid-court before attacking.

▽ CriticalThe grip is considerably thick, requiring modifications or sanding for most players to achieve a comfortable fit.

I love Samsonov (Experience: ４〜５ years) Really great racket

This is a blade that can do everything, from close to the table all the way to far from the table — drives, blocks, lobs, you name it.
Basically, it can do anything.

google (Experience: ４〜５ years) Super stable

Basically every stroke feels stable with this blade. It's quite soft for a 7-ply, but since it's on the thicker side at 6.8mm, it's easy to generate power when you hit through the ball.

Nyakky ★ (Experience: ６〜１０ years) A 7-ply with great ball-holding

I borrowed this from a friend and tried it out.
I think it holds the ball really well and lets you put stable spin on your shots.
It's easy to block with, which makes sense since Samsonov uses it.
This is just my opinion, but the grip is on the thicker side - though not too thick, more like a comfortable thickness to hold.

It's a soft 7-ply blade, but if you hit hard it still bounces solidly, so you can produce powerful shots even from mid-distance or away from the table.
Personally, I felt like pairing it with a harder rubber gave it really good balance.
Depending on the rubber, I think this racket can work for anyone from beginner to advanced level.

GK (Experience: ６〜１０ years) A racket that turns you into Samsonov

First, I was surprised by how thick the grip was. I bought the AN grip. It settles into your hand nicely and is easy to hold, but it was just too thick, so I sanded it down quite a bit.
The feel is soft and the ball grip is amazing. It doesn't feel like a 7-ply at all. The difference from a 5-ply is the extra distance and the strength that doesn't lose out to hard hits.
Blocking and countering are super stable. Drives feel great — you really grip the ball before it flies off. The short game is as easy as with a 5-ply.
Rather than a 7-ply that attacks aggressively with a fast initial speed and heavy shots, I think this is a blade that lets you play more like Samsonov — breaking the opponent down with the short game and blocks and attacking from there.

Since the switch to plastic balls, some players around me went from 7-ply blades down to 5-ply. I think that's because, given how hard it is to put spin on the plastic ball, they decided a 7-ply blade just couldn't generate enough spin. But with this blade, that's not something you need to worry about! It's very easy to put spin on and lets you play a stable game!
