    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    The racket is overwhelmingly praised for its exceptional speed performance, while control difficulty and rubber selection importance are frequently mentioned. It is recognized as an advanced-level offensive racket that reaches its full potential with proper rubber combinations.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Exceptional speed and excellent arc trajectory
    • Rubber selection significantly affects performance
    • Difficulty in control and risk of errors
    • High compatibility with tension rubbers like Tenergy
    • Premium price justified by performance quality
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe hitting feeling is exceptional with outstanding speed and spin on drives, making blocking easy. Against cutters, the difference from other rackets is clearly evident, and drives with good extension are easy to score.
    ▽ CriticalDespite fast speed, spin is difficult to apply and ball release is quick, making the hitting sound unpleasant during soft shots. Poor compatibility with hard stiff rubbers like Chinese sticky, making ball absorption difficult during reception and hard to execute pushes.

      Player reviews

      I think this is a serious, purpose-built blade for playing away from the table. Playing close to or at mid-distance from the table with it, it bounced quite a lot and was hard to handle. But when I stayed back and traded topspin drives, I could swing all the way through with ease.

      Zhuo God (Experience: 4〜5 years) Tacky rubber suits the forehand!

      Player reviews

      So I picked the lightest, bounciest one out there.
      And yeah, it really does bounce! But just like in the videos I saw online, control is genuinely hard, and sometimes it flies off and I overshoot.
      That said, the speed and spin are great, though it depends on the rubber!
      I think it's a blade worth buying.
      If you're going to buy one, I'd get it from a big store.
      Stores that stock a lot of the same blade (like Kokusai Takkyu) will let you compare them by bouncing a ball off each one...
      It's an expensive blade, so choose carefully before you buy!

      Terumasa (Experience: 11〜20 years) Strong power

      Player reviews

      Among the Zhang Jike series, this one is the fastest by far. That comes at the cost of some control though. It pairs well with Tenergy or Fastarc. It's an attacking blade, so I'd recommend it to topspin-drive or fast-attack style players.

      Tama-chan (Experience: 6〜10 years) This is... a masterpiece!!

      Player reviews

      I switched over from the Jun Mizutani (old model). Maybe because I put spin-focused rubbers on both sides, this blade bounced more than the old Jun Mizutani but wasn't actually all that fast overall.
      Whether it's the short game close to the table or a big attack from far off the table, by leaning into the rubber's compatibility and the blade's inherent speed, you can take down your opponent without mercy (lol)
      I'd recommend this to anyone whose weapon is a series of fast, repeated topspin drives, or anyone aiming to make that their weapon.
      It's expensive, but it's a blade worth buying!!

      nasi (Experience: 4〜5 years) A basic blade

      Player reviews

      At first I thought "so this is what it's like," but after using it for a year, then two, it started to feel like a natural fit.
      That said, when the rubber wasn't right for me, I didn't feel anything special from it. Right now, with this rubber combination, it feels just right.
      For some reason I can block well, and even when I can't, it doesn't bother me, so it doesn't build up any stress.
      It really made me realize again how much your equipment matters.

      Hussey (Experience: 2〜3 years) Very good

      Player reviews

      This is a really great blade! It pairs great with Tenergy 80 — spin comes really easily, and personally, my topspin drives feel like they really extend, and they're easy to control too. The price is high, but the performance matches it. It's really easy to use, so give it a try!

      Naonao (Experience: 4〜5 years) Worth the price

      Player reviews

      For how much speed it gives you, it's surprisingly flexible, and I was able to put good spin on the ball too.
      That said, it's a bit heavy, so you'll probably need to adjust with your rubber choice.
      It bounces well, so going with a thinner sponge should be fine too.

      This blade is very expensive, but I found it's more than worth the price.
      It makes sense that pro players use it.
