    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly evaluated as a standard racket for beginners, featuring excellent control and smooth swing mechanics. However, opinions on weight are divided, with praise from stronger players but difficulty reported by some beginners.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Exceptional control performance enabling stable shots
    • Small, easy-to-grip handle with smooth swing
    • Appropriate performance for beginners with long-term usability
    • Relatively heavy weight can be difficult for those with less strength
    • Soft material susceptible to damage and durability concerns
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveControl is outstanding, allowing normal play from both baseline and net. The ball feel is excellent and the rotation technique is easy to understand.
    ▽ CriticalWeight is the main drawback—the heaviness is concerning even before considering control. Lacking speed for its weight, the specifications feel insufficient.

      Player reviews

      Overall, the control is really excellent, and maybe it's because of the compact blade head, but I found it easy to swing all the way through. The one downside is that the blade is heavy. Since it was my very first blade, I didn't feel that off about it at the time, but looking back now, it's pretty heavy. If you don't have much arm strength, it might be hard to handle... Still, the control is fantastic, so personally it was a really easy blade for me to use.

      Player reviews

      I like heavier blades, so this one was easy for me to hit with! It swings through nicely and feels good to hit with, though it is on the heavier side so your arm gets a little tired.

      Player reviews

      First off, this blade is heavy! Heavy before we even get to control! Control is decent, but for how heavy it is, the speed just...... When you put spin on the ball the centrifugal force is ideal, but centrifugal force in table tennis isn't easy, right?
      Oh, I did find one good thing!
      It's the kind of blade that makes you appreciate other people's blades when you try them!
      Right now I'm using the Innerforce Layer ZLF
      and it's a complete upgrade, lol lol
      If you like heavy blades....... it's expensive, but you should get the Gouriki!

      The one I used before didn't have the J.T.T.A.A. mark, so this is really my first proper racket. I bought one that already came with Jamin rubber pre-glued. It's heavy. But since the one I used before was also heavy, I got used to it quickly. The feel is really nice - it gives a satisfying "tok" sound on contact. Control is quite good too; I can lift the ball when I want to, and I can also drop it right at the edge of the net.

      I'd recommend this to people starting table tennis seriously, like for a school club, but once you switch to tension rubber it starts to feel lacking, so plan to replace it then.

      I bought the pre-glued Jamin version.
      I got it as my first racket.
      As a first racket, I think the performance is more than enough.

      The pre-glued Jamin version suits it better than the Hammond version.
      I think it's suited to beginners.
