Moth (Experience: ４〜５ years)

Really easy to use.
The grip is thin, so switching between forehand and backhand is easy, and the feel of gripping the ball is really nice, so I think even beginners would find it easy to use.
It's soft, and since the blade is thin it paired really well with Hurricane rubber.
I think kids and women would also find it easy to use.

Daiouika (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Perfect for beginners, kids, and women

The weight is light and the grip is thin, so I'd recommend it for kids and women. It's a 5-ply blade that's easy to handle, and I think you can really sharpen your technique with it.

Kusozako Cutman (Experience: ２〜３ years) Easy to serve with!

This isn't originally mine — it's a blade my older brother used a few years ago, with new rubber put on it.
This blade has a moderately thin grip that's easy to hold.
So it's really easy to put good spin on your serves.
It makes you feel like your serving has gotten better (ha).
The blade is thin, so spin catches well. Backhand drives with G1 are nasty. Even though I'm not very good.
The speed isn't that high, so I'd recommend picking a speed-oriented rubber to go with it.
By the way, if you sand down the edge of the blade a bit, it holds nicely in your hand.
I'd recommend this blade for anyone from beginner to intermediate level.

Tenergy? (Experience: ２〜３ years) Control is good, but...

Since it's all wood, it's easy to control. That said, I wasn't too impressed with the rest of its performance. Still, it's cheap, so I think it's worth trying once. If I had to say who it's for, I'd recommend it for beginners, people with small hands, or people without much muscle strength.

i Ⅼove Hayashi Takato (Experience: ２〜３ years) The grip is easy to hold

The grip is easy to hold, so I'd recommend it for women and kids! It's also easy to control and the feel on contact is outstanding! If you're looking for control, definitely give this one a try!

Pips Club (Experience: ４〜５ years)

It's really light and easy to use. It pairs quite well with Tenergy. It also works well with both tension rubbers and pips, so it's great for defensive play too.
