    • Comfortable grip shape and high-quality feel

      Raspai (Experience: 4〜5 years) Ball hold is really good

      Player reviews

      I have tacky rubber on my forehand, and it puts a ton of spin on the ball.
      That said, it's a bit heavy, and since the blade head is large, it feels even heavier.

      Koh → Sk @ (Experience: 6〜10 years) Quite heavy

      Player reviews

      First of all, it's heavy. Because of that, even with a soft rubber on it, it still has a decent amount of bounce. I felt like it's suited to players with some muscle strength.

      A bake (Experience: 6〜10 years) When in doubt, pick this

      Player reviews

      It doesn't have much bounce, but that doesn't mean the ball doesn't travel - you can still hit heavy topspin drives one after another.
      The blade is a bit on the heavy side, so I'd recommend a lighter rubber on the backhand.
      It's a good blade that works all the way up to advanced players.

      It's heavy.
      Also, it doesn't fly very far for its weight, so I'd say it's not well suited to beginners.
      The Swat is lighter and gets more speed.

      The feel is exactly what you'd expect from a soft blade.
      It's kind of "boingy," and personally I didn't like that.

      Plenty of other reviewers have already covered the good points, so I'll just mention the downsides.

      Player reviews

      I've used this ever since I started playing, and it really is a great blade. It's easy to put spin on, and if you swing through properly, you can get a decent amount of speed too. And best of all, that crisp "pock" sound of wood on ball is so satisfying. I'd recommend it from beginners all the way to advanced players!

      Player reviews

      Every technique feels easy to do with this, and the block stability is amazing - especially if you put Extra thickness rubber on the backhand, it gets really stable.

      I think this offers really great value for money.
      The balance point is toward the tip, so the centrifugal force makes it easy to swing.
      It's not expensive, so I think it's worth trying.
