▲ PositiveEasy to grip for both children and adults, lightweight with superior control. The blade flexibility provides good power, making it recommended for elementary through high school players and female athletes.

▽ CriticalIf you want speed-focused play, the Acoustic model would be better. Also, the high price requires careful consideration before purchasing.

Manufacturing (Experience: １１〜２０ years) Good for juniors and women

I bought this as a blade for my kid.
First thing I noticed was that the grip is thin and short, and it's light. My kid said it was easy to hold. They also said that when swinging the backhand, the grip doesn't hit the wrist, which is nice — apparently with a normal-length grip it used to hit the wrist and made swinging awkward.
The blade itself is also a bit compact, so even with max-thickness rubber on both sides it doesn't feel heavy.
The feel is soft and easy to control. The board itself flexes, so I think it produces good power too.
Recommended for elementary and middle schoolers, and for women players.

Dai-chan junior high school teacher (Experience: １１〜２０ years)

This is a blade with a smaller blade size and a smaller grip compared to the Violin.
The grip is quite small, but it was totally fine even for an adult man's hand.

The basic specs are the same as the Violin, but because the blade is smaller, it actually has more bounce than the regular Violin.
For punch-type techniques like smashes, I feel like this one has the edge.

Blank (Experience: ２〜３ years) A blade with excellent control

I picked this as my second blade after starting table tennis. I play close to the table, and the control is good — even at a speed rating above 15 it does bounce, but the bounce is kept in check so it's very easy to handle. That said, it doesn't produce much speed, so if you want speed-focused table tennis, I think going with the Acoustic would be better. It's pricey too, so check with your wallet before buying.
I hope you have a great table tennis life.

Yugon (Experience: ６〜１０ years)

I think every part of your game feels stable with this one. It's a blade that can be used broadly, from beginners to advanced players.

Ryo (Experience: ４〜５ years) Just plain easy to use

I normally use the Jun Mizutani ZLC. For my backup blade I use the Violin, and it's really easy to use! Even in my hands as a second-year middle schooler, it fits really nicely — I love that feeling! Plus, even with rubber glued on, it's still really light! I think it would be great for junior players or beginners.

rack (Experience: ２〜３ years) 150g with rubbers on!

I switched because the Zhang Jike was too heavy.
I'm using a 78g one.
The blade is also on the smaller side, so the rubber ends up lighter too — even using thick sponge, it comes to 150 grams.
I stopped losing to my classmates.
