    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    An affordable 5-ply wood racket designed for mastering fundamental techniques. Its excellent control and ball retention are praised, while the significant weight variation between individual units and performance gaps compared to modern composite rackets remain debated topics.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent control and superior ball retention
    • Comfortable grip shape and high-quality feel
    • Large individual weight variation (85-100g)
    • Good compatibility with various rubbers
    • Suitable for players from beginners to advanced
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveAffordable and easy to use, comparable to expensive rackets. The drive follows a beautiful arc and lands cleanly on the table with manageable control. Smash power is sufficiently strong.
    ▽ CriticalHeavier weight with significant individual variation affecting performance at 80-100g. Difficult for weaker beginners, and produces less speed compared to modern composite rackets.

      K_K (Experience: 2〜3 years) Compatibility with Fastarc S1 is.....

      Player reviews

      You can play the short game with it, and shots from away from the table go in too.
      However, when paired with Fastarc S1 it flies way too much - the rubber does the flying instead of your own power, making it hard to control. Other than that, it's a flawless piece of equipment.

      Kim Tex is God (Experience: 2〜3 years) Well-rounded, decent at everything

      Player reviews

      The only thing I'd want a bit more of is speed - otherwise it's pretty average at everything.
      The amount of spin you get is especially high, and the control is excellent too, so it's easy to use.
      Also, pretty much any rubber you put on it works fine.
      I'd recommend it since it can be used by anyone from beginners to advanced players.

      Player reviews

      The first thing you notice when you pick it up is the unusual grip. It's wide but thin, kind of like a thinner version of the Viscaria grip. It has slightly less bounce than the Innerforce ALC. I use thick rubber on mine, and it's plenty for both topspin drives and smashes. Serves and the short game are easy to do too, and it's easy to put spin on the ball. Mine weighed 85g. If the grip is the only thing bothering you, Nittaku's Latika or the Kasumi Basic apparently have a compatible shape.

      If someone asked "name a Butterfly 5-ply blade," this is the first one that comes to mind - it's that much of a classic. The wood isn't too stiff and the blade isn't too thick, so it has a nice amount of flex. It works with any type of rubber, from Tenergy to tacky rubbers. I feel like a lot of the individual blades run a bit heavy, but that also means it bounces pretty well for a 5-ply. If you're not sure what to use, this is a safe bet.

      That's good (Experience: 2〜3 years) Pretty nice ☺️

      Player reviews

      Personally I'm a big fan of this one.
      When you think of the Korbel, chiquita is what comes to mind - it's just incredibly easy to do.
      But one thing to watch out for: it's not an exaggeration to say that the chiquita is easy mainly because of the grip. So the grip is quite thin. Despite that, the weight is pretty heavy, so keep that in mind.
      Other than that, it's flawless ☺️

      First game defeat (Experience: Less than a year)

      Player reviews

      I put Fastarc G-1 on my forehand and Rozena on my backhand, but since the blade itself already has good bounce, I felt a hard rubber like Fastarc doesn't really suit it.
      I think something like Rigan or Sriver would probably be a better match.

      It was good to meet Corbel コ ル (Experience: 2〜3 years) A genuinely great racket

      Player reviews

      It was lighter than I expected. The grip is a bit thin too, which makes it easy to hold. It has quite a bit of bounce, so personally I think a softer rubber pairs well with it. It's very stable, and even though it has bounce, it grips the ball well so it's easy to put spin on it. You can get decent speed out of it too. If you're looking to buy a new blade, I'd definitely recommend this one!!
