    Leaves is an allround 5-ply wood blade from Nittaku. It is medium in weight with a slightly compact design. Excellent for all strokes of the game. Soft feel with great hang time for spin.

    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.

      Of advance snail (Experience: ２〜３ years) Heavy, but easy to swing through

      Player reviews

      The grip is made a bit smaller, so it's very easy to swing through.
      The ball stays on the blade a long time, which makes it easy to control.
      The feel is really good. It doesn't produce that much speed for how heavy it is, so I'd recommend thick or max-thickness rubber.
      Playing with anti-spin rubber was really easy with this one!

      It's hard for a beginner blade. If you put extra-thin rubber on it, the ball flies. I don't think it's great for control, so I wouldn't really recommend it for beginners.

      First of all, it's heavy. I bought it as part of a beginner set (with Jamin rubber, medium sponge, already attached on both sides), and it's far heavier than my classmates' blades. That said, it's easy to control, so if you're a beginner with decent arm strength, I think it's fine to use.
