    Collaboration Model With Joo Saehyuk

    Perfect for defense as well as quick counterspins far from the table.
    The enlarged head of the blade provides the necessary control for chopping and blocking.
    The Joo Saehyuk is first choice for defenders who rely on heavy spin combined with fast topspins due to the hard feel.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    A high-performance racket designed for aggressive cut players. Praised for exceptional attacking power and spin performance, but consistently rated unsuitable for beginners due to its heavy weight and strong bounce, making it best for advanced players.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Exceptional attack power and bounce unusual for a cut racket
    • Outstanding spin quality with excellent cut sharpness and variation
    • Relatively heavy racket requiring skill and experience to handle
    • Excellent compatibility with pimple rubber, sticky rubber recommended for forehand
    • Best suited for experienced players prioritizing both attack and defense
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveDespite being a cut racket, it has enough bounce to compete with attacking players, and boasts high spin and control performance. Highly recommended for advanced cut players.
    ▽ CriticalExtremely heavy and bounces too much, making it unsuitable for beginners learning the cut shot. Without solid fundamental technique, the racket simply produces shots that fly away rather than controlled cuts.

      Spherical moss (Experience: ２〜３ years) Doesn't feel like a chopper blade

      Player reviews

      I borrowed this from a senior teammate and tried it, but it's just heavy, period. For a chopping blade it's easy to drive with, but hard to swing, so it's suited to advanced players.

      Player reviews

      It's a heavy blade, but it's easy to put spin on the ball, and the ball becomes heavy.
      Both drives and smashes are beyond complaint for a chopping blade.

      It also pairs well with long pips, but forehand chopping is difficult.

      When chopping it does overshoot a little!
      But you can attack with it too!

      It leans more toward chopping in the balance, but I think it's a good blade.

      The attacking power is amazing.
      You can even trade topspin rallies like Joo Se-hyuk
      Chopping puts good spin on the ball too, so I think that's great
      Because it's heavy, you don't get pushed back easily by your opponent's shots
      Sometimes it flies a bit past where you're aiming, so be careful

      I bought this because it's aimed at choppers and the price was reasonable. The blade was heavier than I expected. Compared to a typical chopping blade, the blade width is on the narrow side, giving it a more elongated impression. Because of the weight, swinging down for a chop feels easy. However, since it has a lot of bounce, balls with speed tended to overshoot a bit. I had Glaze D-Tecs on the backhand side, but it bounced too much and I overshot a lot.
      Since it's narrow, the short game is easy to do. It might be fine in a big gymnasium, but playing in a table tennis venue that isn't that spacious could be tough.

      Molly Easy to do sharp chop cuts

      Player reviews

      Being the model used by Joo Se-hyuk, I've been using it for 6 years now.
      It's a really good racket.

      I'm using it at 100g, FL.

      First of all...
      it's heavy.
      Incredibly heavy

      From the moment you hit forehand knock-ups, you can tell it bounces a lot.
      But that doesn't mean you can't control it
      For a chopping blade, it's top-tier in terms of bounce
      Still, if you're used to something like the Cutlass, you'll probably feel this one bounces more.

      Small techniques are easy to do.
      That's one area where it really shows its worth as a chopping blade.
      Drives depend on the rubber, but it's easy to put spin on them.
      I personally liked the feel of the ball off the blade.
      As for tacky rubber, since it's already heavy, personally
      I think you should avoid it for a chopping setup on this blade.

      As for chopping, it really bites
      It's a great blade in terms of spin.
      But it's hard to keep under control
      The forehand is good
      but when I put a tension rubber on the forehand, the pips started bouncing quite a lot.
      So it really changes
      a lot depending on the combination.

      I'd recommend this to
      people who want to chop with heavy backspin
      people who smash away whenever the ball comes to their forehand
      It's not suited to players who prioritize defense.

      Nakka (Experience: ２〜３ years) Too bouncy for a chopper!

      Player reviews

      I think making this a model based on Joo Se-hyuk was spot on, but if it toned down the bounce just a little more, it might've let you balance chopping and attacking even better.
