Drive & Smash type. Speed drive and smash with a cute face is good. Stable the impetus popularity of the secret! Somewhat hit even if the peace of mind to the table, with a wood edge guard. Put a rubber on the back of the horizontal cork, challenge on the reverse side batting!

Pen front man (Experience: ２〜３ years) Recommended for close-to-table quick attack

I'm using this with short pips on one side, penhold style.
The blade is small, so compared to a racket of the same weight, it feels about 0.8x lighter.
I've used tension, tacky, and short pips rubbers on it, and it honestly takes on the character of whatever rubber you put on.
Blocks and short shots are stable.
Smashes are fast too.
Even a casual drive gets a decent amount of spin.
Since it's inner carbon, it doesn't bounce too much, which is just right.
Lobs also carry well with inverted rubber.
As a Japanese penhold blade, it doesn't have any one standout trait, so it's well balanced overall.
It's light and fast, so I'd recommend it for close-to-the-table quick-attack players.
That said, with short pips it's a bit too light, so I've added some weight.
For reference, with a single sheet of thick Spin Pips Blue and no side tape, it came to 105g. Mine happens to be on the lighter side even for this model, so it's lighter still.
Since the cork on the back is flat, it might also work well as a racket for learning backhand-side strokes.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

*Note: this is for upper-level players in my prefecture.
This is a smaller, nimble, technique-oriented racket.
It's usable, and there's some fun to it.It's inner carbon so it bounces moderately, and it's very light. With short pips on the forehand only, the shots lack power and feel light.
Even if you don't use the backhand side, it seems better to put something on it just for the added weight.The balance feels like it shifts toward the tip, but you get used to it.
Smashes, blocks, and control are all pretty decent.
Blocks in particular are great — a moderate amount of vibration and the racket doesn't get overpowered.
Smashes are fast and go in a straight line.
One-shot kills are possible.Drive and serve spin feel about average.
The main point is that despite being small and light, it doesn't get pushed around.
It's not a bad racket for learning backhand-side strokes either. Straight, sharp backhand-side shots land cleanly.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Kondo udon powder (Experience: １１〜２０ years) Good concept, but...

The one I bought was 76g, and the balance point measured from the grip is around 40mm from the grip — closer to the handle side. Combined with the compact blade size, true to its claims, even with rubber on both sides it doesn't feel tip-heavy, and the design offers great handling despite being a square (kaku) penhold — really excellent.
The feel is so-so, though. It would've been nice if it were priced for beginners.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

It's a special-material racket, but I didn't really feel that special-material quality much. It's light, so you can put rubber on both sides.

On the back side I used the Darker Klare Back 2.0mm.
True to the maker's claim of a "drive + smash" type, it feels easy to use for both hitting and topspin drives.
The feel is surprisingly soft, and the ball sinks into it nicely, so I felt it leans more toward drives.
The blade is on the thicker side and handles well, so it's not that hitting is hard, but because the ball sits on it a bit, it's a little more affected by incoming spin.
Also, with carbon plus a thicker blade, you'd expect it to pair badly with tacky rubber, but surprisingly it doesn't — the soft feel smooths out the quirks of tacky rubber, and combined with how well the ball grips, you can unleash drives with intense spin.
If pairing with short pips, I felt you'd bring out more of its character by matching it with a slightly harder, more responsive one.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft

Like other reviews mention, it's light.
With a single-sided penhold short pips setup, it's really light.
My impression from test-hitting: it's fast.
Depending on the rubber combo, the trajectory is straight and fast.
Even so, just-blocking shots land right on the table nicely, so it's very easy to use.
Pushes are aggressive and fast too.
Since it's light, switching between backhand and forehand is easy.
The design looks cute but it's an aggressive racket, and I think it's a really great racket that's easy to control with fine fingertip adjustments.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Light. Just plain light. It's easy to swing, and even with max thickness rubber on, your arm doesn't get tired. Chiquita is easy to do with it too.
