Perplexity (Experience: More than ２０ years) Not for beginners... I think.

The bounce is on the modest side.
The speed feels about right for beginners.The problem is the blade thickness.
The listed spec is 6.4mm, which is a bit on the thick side.
Because of this, there's almost no flex.In other words,
【the ball doesn't fly far, but it comes off the blade quickly】Since it doesn't fly far and it's hard to get spin on the ball, shots tend to land shallow.
To hit deep, you have to strike the ball hard or it won't go in.
It's not well suited to players aiming to be topspin drive types.It's clearly not suited for beginners trying to develop a feel for spin either.
The blade itself is on the hard side, but the feel when hitting is vague.
If you put on a soft rubber like Fly Att Soft or Vega Elite, you don't get much sense of the impact through the blade. This too makes it unsuited for learning spin.I tried various rubbers, but I couldn't really find a good use for it.
If I had to pick one, it felt best with long pips.
Since the ball leaves the rubber quickly, it's easy to create variation on offense and the ball tends to wobble.
It might work well for someone who attacks with long pips rather than playing a block-focused game, though.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

It's stiff. There's absolutely no vibration or resonance in the hand.
Perhaps due to individual variations, it felt a little heavy.

Pretty average. This was the blade I used when I first started table tennis, with Sriver on both sides. I think the ideal setup would be putting Factive rubber on both sides.

Easy to hit with and easy to keep the ball on the table. But once you get to upper-intermediate level (the level of players who compete in prefectural tournaments), you start losing a lot of exchanges. No matter how good the control is, the ball just feels light. I wanted a bit more power.

Recommended for people who are truly just starting table tennis.
The bounce is kept mild, so it feels quite nice at first,
but once you learn the basic strokes and start shifting your focus from stability to power,
you'll reach the point where it's time to switch, because the bounce is on the low side.
It also doesn't produce much heavy, weighty shots.
The bounce is weak but the blade is hard, which makes the ball drop more easily. So it feels like a blade you'll be ready to replace around the one-year mark.
And that's just with tension rubber — pair it with tacky rubber
and it turns into a tricky blade you really can't call beginner-friendly anymore.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I think this is a lightweight, easy-to-control beginner's blade. It doesn't bounce much, so it's easy to handle. It's ideal for grasping the basics.
It doesn't suit strong tension rubbers (Fastarc, Rakza, Tenergy, Dignics, V>15, etc.), so once you improve, I'd recommend switching to a blade that matches your rubber.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I started playing in middle school and compete at the prefectural level.
The blade is on the stiff side, so I think control is a bit tricky. Also, since the blade is light, it feels like I can't put heavy weight into my shots.
So aside from the topspin drive, every other technique is really easy to do.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard
