      Biscaria Psycho (Experience: ４〜５ years) Usable for intermediate players too

      Player reviews

      A lot of people say this is for beginners, but intermediate players can definitely use it too with a tension rubber.

      I usually shake (Experience: ４〜５ years) Best value-for-money penholder

      Player reviews

      I borrowed a junior teammate's blade to try it out.
      It's probably made with hinoki cypress. The feel and ball-holding on long balls is really pleasant, and it's fun to hit with.
      On backhand shorts it bounces a bit too much, but I think that can be fixed with the right rubber.
      No particular complaints on short-game technique either — forehand flicks were very easy to do.
      If you've ever admired penhold loopers, this is a blade I'd love for you to try at least once.

      Pen usage around there (Experience: ４〜５ years) Good speed

      Player reviews

      The speed is great. It says it's for beginners, but I've been using it happily myself. I'd say it's more like beginner-to-intermediate level. I wanted to be able to hit off the back side too, so I shaved down the half-moon cork to use it that way. It's easy to hit with, has good speed, and is reasonably priced, so I recommend it!

      Miharu (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Insane stability

      Player reviews

      Overall it's just amazing - great performance at a really low price. Where else can you find a blade like this? It's incredible. I also tried it with Tackifire Drive - it bites into the ball really well and gets great speed. Flextra was so good it felt like a tension rubber.

      Killing (Experience: ４〜５ years) Hard to say

      Player reviews

      Pros: every stat is amazing. I think the thick core is what boosts the spin and speed, and the control is outstanding. Cons: it's hard to really rip the rubber, and because it's light, smashes, serves, and drives have plenty of power but you sometimes whiff. Overall: the cons can be fixed with about a month of practice, so I think it's a really great blade.

      Yohye (Experience: ２〜３ years) Way too amazing

      Player reviews

      This is seriously good. Insane. Speed: crazy fast - I can't believe a tacky rubber gets speed on par with Rozena or Roundell. Spin: since it's a tacky rubber, the spin is ridiculous - a friend told me "that's basically Tenergy." Control: the control is so good it feels like a god-tier blade. Overall: an amazing blade all around. Once you get used to the Tackifire Drive, short pips or tension rubbers would work well too.

      Pasuna (Experience: ４〜５ years) Penhold pips

      Player reviews

      Works well enough for penhold with pips too. Tacky rubber feels good on it, and inverted rubber pairs well too. Short pips are just so-so I'd say. I'd recommend either long pips or a tacky rubber.
