    Outstanding well-balanced carbon blade for the offensive player! Two thin layers of carbon and light weight.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    A balanced-type racket with ultra-thin carbon in a 5-ply blade, suitable for beginners transitioning to intermediate players. Characterized by controlled bounce and ease of use, though some reviews note the performance feels somewhat half-hearted.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Ultra-thin carbon maintains the ease of 5-ply blade
    • Restrained bounce allows for easier near-net play
    • Good balance between spin and control
    • Suitable for cutting with responsive feel
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe ease of use of a 5-ply blade with added power from ultra-thin carbon. Spins easily and blocks land well, making it a well-balanced racket.
    ▽ CriticalThe combination of speed and spin feels compromised, lacking the characteristics of true ultra-thin carbon in both areas.

      Sea otter (Experience: 6〜10 years) The feel is so satisfying!

      Player reviews

      It has the easy handling of a 5-ply blade, plus a bit of extra power from the ultra-thin carbon layer.
      Spin is easy to generate, and blocks land well.
      It doesn't bounce too much, so the short game is easy to play too. I think it's a well-balanced, good blade. The slightly harder feel is satisfying to hit with!

      Everyone (Experience: 4〜5 years) Doesn't feel like carbon, so...

      Player reviews

      This is like an entry-level carbon blade.
      The blade itself is light, so a good point is that you can put on any rubber, tension rubbers included, without worrying about compatibility.
      The bounce is kept down enough to make you wonder if it even has carbon in it, and it flexes just the right amount, so I think it's recommended for elementary or middle schoolers moving from a plain 5-ply blade to a special-material blade.
      Personally, the bounce was less than I expected, so I quickly handed it down to my kid. (lol)

      Baumkuchen (Experience: 6〜10 years) Sends a jarring shock to the hand

      Player reviews

      It's a 5-ply blade that's soft enough to make you doubt there's even ultra-thin carbon in it.
      That said, the balance between speed and spin feels half-baked. It's not as easy to put spin on as a plain 5-ply, and the speed doesn't really feel like carbon either.
      Whatever way you hit it, you get a big jarring shock in your hand, so I think this blade suits chopping more than attacking.

      It's not like it's crazy fast, but for a beginner blade it flies quite a bit. If you're putting rubber on it, I'd say around 45-degree sponge hardness is good.
