    Very unique elasticity realizes new ball-touching feeling. Hard but elastic high capacity blade made by String Instrument Manufacturing Technology. Almost a Legend from Nittaku. Made in Japan.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    The racket is highly praised for its unique flex from the string instrument design and excellent ball retention, making spin generation easy and control performance outstanding. However, its limited flight distance and low bounce make it better suited for close-to-mid-court play and control-focused playing styles.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • String instrument design flex enables easy spin generation
    • Good ball feel and stable loop drives
    • Excellent control performance
    • Insufficient flight distance and bounce in back court
    • Good compatibility with hard rubbers
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe unique flex and ball retention from the string instrument design produce incredibly heavy spin on loop drives that causes opponents to miss repeatedly. The satisfying feedback and excellent performance make it an outstanding racket for front-to-mid-court play.
    ▽ CriticalDespite having flex, the thin blade feels hard and the ball doesn't fly well despite flexing, resulting in poor flight distance. When playing from the back court, ball power drops dramatically, making it suitable only for intermediate to advanced players.

      Sho-go (Experience: 11〜20 years) It just... flexes!

      Player reviews

      A friend of mine uses this, and I borrowed it to try. Here are my thoughts.
      First of all, the flex is amazing.
      It made me wonder if the flex alone is what's sending the ball flying.
      It's definitely not a fast blade, but it holds the ball enough that you can even overshoot.
      I felt it would suit players who focus on spin.
      Because it doesn't bounce much, shots stay on the table, which makes it feel easy to aim for specific spots, and the feel is pleasant too.
      I also felt it would work well with short pips or long pips.

      The control is outstanding.
      It's easy to hit exactly where you're aiming.
      Serves are easy to put spin on, and drives are stable too.

      Player reviews

      It draws a really nice arc.
      Countering off a lob is really easy with this.
      It flexes and holds the ball really well, so it's easy to hit even from far off the table.
      But punchy techniques like smashing are harder.

      I'm a topspin/drive player, but I can chop with this too. The loop drive is strong. Chopping is really easy too. You can play the short game with it as well. The control is good.

      Danshari (Experience: 2〜3 years) Flex is its trademark

      Player reviews

      It doesn't bounce much, so you can pair it with long pips on the backhand. It flexes well, making it easy to put spin on the ball, and the short game is easy too - I think it can work for any playing style.

      Yutchi@Cut The face of the string instrument series

      Player reviews

      This is the flagship of the string-instrument series. I think it's quite easy to use even for beginner-to-intermediate players. Its defining trait is the flex, which makes it easy to generate spin, so I'd recommend it to everyone!

      Violin and Acoustic (Experience: 6〜10 years) ?

      Player reviews

      The Acoustic has a really great feel on contact, gets good spin, and gives you control too, so it's a really good blade.
