Right (Experience: ４〜５ years) 3-ply

This is an unusual 3-ply blade.
The flex really brings out great spin and control.
A chop blade I'd recommend for beginners.

Nail crack cut (Experience: ２〜３ years) Good spin and stability

Compared to other chopping blades, the blade is just a little smaller, but it's very stable and flexes a lot, so it's easy to put spin on the ball too. I think it suits beginners. That said, when attacking, the speed falls a bit short, so it's a good idea to make up for that with your choice of rubber.

Chuta (Experience: More than ２０ years) Unique hitting feel

For a chopping blade, it's on the smaller side and easy to swing through. It's also got decent bounce.
It flexes quite a bit, so when you land a one-shot power smash, you get a really satisfying sound and feel!

Prefrontal heterogeneity (Experience: ２〜３ years) For choppers or close-table unorthodox play

This blade is 3-ply, so it doesn't have much bounce. That works in your favor for chopping and close-to-the-table pips-out blocking. On the other hand, forehand drives and flat hits lack power, so I felt it was a bit short on finishing shots. Because of that, I think using max thickness rubber on the forehand makes it easier to handle. Spin was easy to generate.
