    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.

      With hard tension rubbers on both sides,
      you easily go over 195g. As a result, it's hard to fully swing through unless you're in a good position.

      With a lighter, softer tension rubber,
      you can keep the weight down,
      but the attacking power suffers.

      If you're assuming you'll use glue,
      it might be fine,
      but with a fair (glue-free) combination,
      it might be tough to put together a good setup.

      I assumed this was an attacking blade and that long pips wouldn't suit it, but that wasn't the case. You can play perfect offense and defense close to the table. A style where you attack with your forehand and defend with your backhand feels great with this. If you're putting long pips on it,

      The grip feels great in the hand, kind of like the Viscaria. Chiquita is easy to do with it too - it's a nice all-round blade.

      I like the design of this blade and have bought several, but most of them tend to be heavy. Even at the same weight, the thickness varies, and the feel is completely different from one to another. The thinner-than-average ones had less bounce and felt just like Nittaku's Latika, but the rest, in my opinion, really do live up to the "mid-fast" label - if anything, they're even harder to handle than the Ludeack or Fortius FT. The grip is also distinctive, so it'll be a matter of taste. It's not a grip for players who like to make full, thick contact with the ball.

      Koki Niwa fan of Excellent value for money!!

      Player reviews

      I'd definitely recommend this blade as your first one!! A lot of middle schoolers joining the club have small hands, and since this blade has a thin, narrow grip, it's easy to hold! The control is also really good. It doesn't particularly stand out in any one area, but overall it's well balanced, and I think it's a blade loved by players of all ages and genders.

      It doesn't bounce as much compared to other blades. But that lack of bounce combined with how easy it is to put spin on makes it a blade that's also easy for choppers to use.

      Player reviews

      Very easy to use.
      Right now I have Mark V on my forehand and Sriver EL on my backhand.
      I think rubbers like Vega or Tenergy pair well with it
