      Pippombo (Experience: ２〜３ years) Even for beginners

      Player reviews

      My club coach picked this out for me as my first blade. The blade face is wide and it has a decent amount of bounce, so it's easy for beginners to handle too.

      Tempa manager (Experience: ２〜３ years) Usage report [Cheap and this good···!!]

      Player reviews

      I placed 2nd in the team event at my city tournament, for reference.

      It's outstandingly easy to use. No complaints. I'm in 8th grade and I've been using it the whole time.
      Since it doesn't bounce much, pair it with a control-oriented rubber for learning the basics.

      If you want power on your drives and want to play from mid-to-far distance, go with a tension rubber.

      Vega would be just about right. It's sure to appeal to just about everyone.

      I think it's easy to use for people just starting table tennis. The power feels a bit lacking, but the control is good and it's easy to use.

      This blade became popular in the club I used to belong to. It has no real quirks, is easy for anyone to use, and can be adapted to your own playing style. That said, since the bounce isn't all that strong, I think players aiming to win individual titles at the prefectural level would find it lacking. But I think it's a wood blade that most people would find pleasant to use.

      It's on the heavier side for beginners, but every stroke is easy to perform. So I'd recommend it for beginners.

      Player reviews

      The control is good, but it's completely a beginner-oriented blade. It's also a bit heavy, so I wouldn't recommend it.

      I think this is perfect for someone whose main game is defense rather than attack. It suits a playing style like Kenta Matsudaira's, mixing attacks into blocking.
