      This blade is easy to use and suited for beginners and intermediate players.
      If you use this, I think your rallies will gradually start lasting longer!
      It's cheap too, so I think it's a great deal.

      Since it's light, you can put on heavier rubber. The performance isn't bad either, so I'd recommend it to quite a lot of people.

      I was surprised at how light it is. This blade is cheap and pairs easily with expensive rubbers, so I can recommend it to both high-level players and beginners.

      Momentsu (Experience: ２〜３ years) Easy for intermediates to use

      Player reviews

      I started using this in my second year of table tennis.
      For me, it was easy to control.
      Even topspin rallies from further back generate quite a bit of power. Spin-heavy drives like curve drives and shoot drives also get a good amount of spin.
      Depending on the rubber combination, I think it's a blade you can play an all-round game with.
      I'd definitely recommend it to people who've gotten used to table tennis and are thinking it's about time to switch blades.
      The short game is easy to play too, and overall it's easy to use.
      I think it suits intermediate-level players very well

      ALL+ junior high table tennis club member IR (Experience: ２〜３ years) Quite similar to Wanokyoku Ao

      Player reviews

      I tried hitting with Rasanter on it.

      It bounces quite a bit.
      It feels a lot like andro's Wa no Kiwami Ao.

      It feels like less spin but more speed.

      The feel is soft, so if you put a hard rubber on the forehand, your drives and smashes get real power. The grip is thin too, so it's easy to bend your wrist.

      Michael Xans (Experience: ４〜５ years) Light!

      Player reviews

      This is the blade I bought when I took up table tennis again after decades away. What I really wanted was the Mace arylate carbon blade, but it had already been discontinued (sob).
      This blade is light, first of all! Switching between forehand and backhand is fast. Even with max-thickness rubber on both sides, weight isn't an issue at all. Spin, speed, and control are all well balanced, making it an easy blade to use. It might pair especially well with spin-oriented rubbers.
