Made with "String Instrument Technology" Thicker and softer material than Violin were used. Due to this has very stable characteristics when attacking and blocking. Blade in original shape which allows to hold the racket both as shakehand and pen. This racket creates the ideal angle between the arm and the racket head. Unique product from Japan.

Heterogeneous man (Experience: ２〜３ years) Not fast, but excels in control

It doesn't have as much bounce as the Tenary Original, but it has the good ball-holding and control that's characteristic of the Acoustic series.
That makes it a great match for unorthodox rubbers like long pips.
It's a bit hard to flip over, but you can manage with some adjustment.The downside is that it lacks speed.
It suits defensive players well, but if you want to blast through on the forehand, you'll need a fast or max-thickness forehand rubber,
and even then you'll only get about average speed.Also, maybe because the Tenary series is designed for women,
the grip is very thin.It's easy to work the grip over the table like an unorthodox-style player would,
but if you want to drive hard, you'll probably need to wrap the grip with tape.It suits unorthodox-style players who stop the ball, or women players who keep rallies going with control.

It matches all kinds of rubbers.
The Tenary series comes in both penhold and shakehand versions, so you could mainly play shakehand and switch to penhold on breaks lol
I'm not sure why, but it's 3,000 yen cheaper than the original Acoustic, so it might be worth trying this one instead,Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Mantra man (Experience: Less than a year) Tenary is a blade you adapt to your own style

As for the benefit of the Tenary grip, it does let you hold the blade naturally, so that the blade feels like an extension of your arm and palm. Your wrist is also free to move, so you don't feel cramped.
However, the downside cancels out the benefit of "efficiently transferring power into the blade." That's because, holding it shakehand-style, the grip is about 3mm thinner than grips like AN, FL, or ST, so your middle, ring, and little fingers tend to slip, and the blade face wobbles more easily, which lets power escape. To compensate, you end up gripping with unnecessary extra force.
It's supposed to be a grip that combines shakehand and penhold holding, but that seems to backfire.
I'd guess that people who find it hard to use are mostly affected by the grip. Conversely, people who find it easy to use probably just happen to find the grip thickness a good match.
So when I use the Tenary, I wrap grip tape around it to adjust the thickness. Doing that let me cancel out the Tenary's downside.
For better or worse, it's a grip that's kind of half-and-half and doesn't fully commit either way, so I think this is a blade that assumes you'll put in some work to make it fit you.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
