NO.1 table tennis review site

It has amazing grip on the ball that comes from its incredible flex.
The feel is soft, but there's a unique resonance you can feel in your hand, and combined with the flex it gives a sense of control like you're hitting the ball with your palm.
On top of that, the flex adds some extra unpredictability with long pips, antispin, and tacky rubbers.
→It makes even the notoriously tricky slick German antispin easier to control while amplifying its quirkiness, and with Japanese antispin it's easy to switch between cutting and not cutting the ball. It's also easy to control whether or not you knock down the pips, so it pairs extremely well with these oddball rubbers and playing styles.
It also doesn't bounce too much with tacky tension rubbers, giving good control while making it easier to produce that distinctive tacky-rubber wobble.
Thanks to the rebound from the flex, you get a strong pushing force while still holding the ball, so even chopping from far back you rarely net the ball.
Practice partners tell me things like "the tempo randomly slows down and then the ball suddenly shoots forward, it feels like playing a rhythm game over a laggy connection."
Honestly, because of how rare and quirky this blade's performance is, I often win by getting away before my opponent adjusts to the ball quality, so I don't really want this to become widely known, but
once you use it, it's hard to give up. I think it's a hidden gem that JUIC should be proud of.

Just as the title says, this racket is pretty unusual.
It really doesn't have any bounce at all.
In a way, I think it's the most complete racket there is when it comes to defense.

Also, if you compare the blade size to other chopper blades, you'll notice it's quite large.
I never quite got used to how big it is, and I found it hard to swing the racket compactly for things like the short game (pushes, etc.) and serves.

Since it just doesn't bounce at all, I actually felt that putting on tension-type pips would make it more stable.
I'd recommend this for choppers who aren't looking for attacking power and instead want to focus entirely on retrieving the ball.

It really doesn't fly much at all. But blocks drop right near the net, so it stops your opponent from stringing together drives.

It really doesn't have much bounce, so I highly recommend it for players who mainly chop!
For attacking, a flat hit on a slightly high ball is more decisive than a spinny topspin drive, so it might suit players who wait for their chance ball better.
Because of that, I can't really recommend it for choppers who attack a lot.
