NO.1 table tennis review site

I saw it on Mercari for a really low price, so I bought it, and when I used it, I was amazed!
It weighs 172g with both rubbers attached (Dignics 09c, Dignics 80)! I was previously using the Harimoto Super ALC, which weighed 192g, so using the JO Shape felt really light (lol).
I'm not sure if it's because it's lighter or because the egg-shaped tip is better, but my swing speed has definitely increased, and I'm able to produce more speed and spin than the Harimoto, and people around me were amazed!
I'm also feeling the speed, and even when I'm hit a little late, like when I'm caught off guard, the lightness allows me to swing through powerfully. It also makes backhands easier and I don't feel like I'm going to miss. The backhand swing is great, too! Another good thing is that it seems to contain carbon, but it feels almost like a wooden racket, so it resonates well in the hand, and the stop before the forearm stays steady! I also feel like my serves don't go off the racket as easily. I feel more secure blocking with the Harimoto, but the JO Shape is lighter and the racket is smaller, so maybe that's unavoidable.
Overall, it's a pretty good racket!
