    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Despite being a 5-ply blade, it offers excellent bounce and stability, with particularly strong compatibility with sticky rubbers. While it requires different approaches depending on playing style and skill level, it is generally well-supported by intermediate to advanced players.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Exceptional bounce for a 5-ply blade
    • Excellent compatibility with sticky rubbers
    • Stable with easy tabletop techniques
    • Grip size is thick and divisive
    • Significant variation in weight between units
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveIt bounces well for a 5-ply blade. The compatibility with sticky rubber is excellent and spin generation is remarkable. The tabletop play is flawless, and you can do almost anything with it.
    ▽ CriticalI switched to a harder rubber. Speed is not very high. Control is somewhat difficult.

      Roselinde (Experience: 4〜5 years) Really great balance (о´∀`о)

      Player reviews

      I tried a bunch of different blades, and this one had the best balance. Drives hit at a lower contact point draw a nice arc, which gives a real sense of reassurance. It's also nice that the blade is on the lighter side. With max thickness on both sides it came to 172g.

      3344 So stiff!

      Player reviews

      So hard!!
      The basic performance is similar to the Infinity.
      The top ply is hard, but...
      when you hit it, it kind of feels like it bends.

      Drives arc really nicely and it's easy to put spin on the ball.

      I wasn't that impressed with flat hitting, but it might suit a player who piles on spin with drives.
      Generally I hate the whole "blade XX pairs with rubber XX" mindset because it's too sloppy, but with this blade, I can see why people say it pairs with tacky rubber.
      The power on drives is incredible, while flat hitting is just so-so...

      But in the end, remember that it's the player who does the work, so keep that in mind before you buy!

      Jorno (Experience: 4〜5 years) The best plywood blade out there!

      Player reviews

      Since Xu Xin uses it, I tried it myself too. I also tried tension rubbers, but a tacky rubber ended up suiting it best. As for its characteristics, personally I think the ease of short-game technique typical of 5-ply blades, along with the flex, really stand out. It's easy to put spin on, and the feel really suits a Chinese-penhold style, I think.

      Tats (Experience: 2〜3 years) Satisfies your urge to own it

      Player reviews

      Short game shots stay put, and drives carry through nicely.
      It's expensive, but it's got a nice character.
      Tacky rubbers pair well with it!
      The grip is on the thicker side, so that might be a love-it-or-hate-it point, but I think it's a high-level 5-ply blade.
      And above all, it's the blade Xu Xin uses, so it really satisfies that sense of ownership.

      Why (Experience: 11〜20 years) Amazing arc

      Player reviews

      It bounces quite a bit, but if you force the spin with a tacky rubber it draws a nice arc and lands solidly in your opponent's court. The short game and blocking are both really easy too. Skyline NEO 3 tends to fly flat and straight, but for some reason it arcs nicely when paired with this blade. As for the feel, hard hits feel soft, while normal shots feel a bit hard. I'd recommend a tacky rubber for the forehand and a control rubber for the backhand.

      I like Stiga (Experience: 11〜20 years) Good

      Player reviews

      I think basically anyone would judge this blade to be good. It has no quirks, and overall there's no real weakness. The design is nice and the feel is good too. If I had to point something out, it'd be the individual variation — the weight varies quite a bit, so it's a matter of whether you happen to get one at your preferred weight. The average is probably around 85g, but mine was 79g and a friend's was 88g.

      Control is a bit tricky.
      But other than that, I felt like smashes and pushes were good.
      Also, there isn't much speed.
      I think a slightly harder rubber is good for the forehand side.
