    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.

      aa (Experience: 2〜3 years) Outstanding attack power!

      Player reviews

      First off, attacking is just as easy as with other attacking blades — both the drive and the smash are excellent. It's also very easy to vary the spin on your chops. However, chops bounce more than on other chopping blades, so I think a lower-bounce rubber works better. The blade itself is also heavy, so I'd recommend as light a rubber as possible.

      Matcha (Experience: 6〜10 years) Best attacking chop blade around!

      Player reviews

      The long pips side cuts the ball without you having to do much, and the spin keeps it in, so I think it's good for people who aren't confident on the backhand. The forehand side flies, so it suits a chop where you take a high contact point and swing down. If you're running tacky rubber like me, even chopping from low and aiming for the net will keep the ball in.
      As for attacking power, I've traded topspin rallies with all kinds of attacking players and their blades, and I don't lose easily.
      You do have to be careful with forehand chops, but other than that it's a blade you can swing through freely.

      Right (Experience: 4〜5 years) Soft! Amazing spin!

      Player reviews

      This is a chopping blade, and having high spin and control is
      a given, but the thickness of the blade also gives it real power,
      so I'd recommend it for advanced choppers
      It's a perfect match with long pips rubber
      and the price is reasonable too

      Pato (Experience: 2〜3 years) Good because it's heavy

      Player reviews

      Drives and chops are both very strong and stable
      but it's heavy, so make sure your swing doesn't get too small

      Play is cut, private life is fat (Experience: 4〜5 years) Difficult...

      Player reviews

      Yes, it's excellent for attacking. The smash is great, and the drive is both stable and powerful.
      But when it comes to chopping, it flies too much and goes long.
      I'm currently using Rozena, but if you chop with a lower-bounce rubber like Hurricane NEO3 or Hui Long, spin and stability both improve.
      Also, this blade is heavy.

      Anonymous (Experience: 2〜3 years) For forehand-attack, backhand-chop players!

      Player reviews

      I switched to this blade from the Defense Pro. When I first switched, I had Vega Pro 1.8 on my forehand, but it flew a bit too much, so I changed to Vega Europe DF (also 1.8mm).
      My impression of the forehand is that drives come out with a lot of power, and it's easy to add variation to your chops. Both a grazing topspin drive and a slightly more hit-through drive are easy to play. A grazing drive still blows through even if the opponent blocks it (lol)
      For chopping, against players with heavy spin, if you close the racket angle a bit while chopping, it stays low and stable.
      On the backhand, it feels stable once you get used to it. Depending on where you make contact it can fly off (though that's probably my own lack of skill).
      Lately I feel like both cutting chops and no-spin chops are easy to produce. The nasty long-pips receives can really throw the opponent off too.
      Overall, I'd recommend this to choppers who want to attack aggressively whenever they get the chance. At first every technique might feel like it bounces a bit too much, but once you get used to it, it's yours. I think it's a really great blade!
      It's also reasonably priced, so why not give it a try. Lastly, it's on the heavier side.

      Height of cut man (Experience: 4〜5 years) Reminds me of Joo Se-hyuk

      Player reviews

      Well, yeah, that's about right. This is a defensive blade, but it has enough bounce to trade shots with attacking players.
      That said, it takes quite a bit of getting used to before your chops become stable.
      Also, the blade is heavy, so you need some strength (especially if you're running inverted rubber on both sides).
      Once you get used to it, both chopping and attacking become easy!
      For the price, I think it's a really good blade!
