  Kyoto Leopard User (Experience: ２〜３ years) Bounces a lot, hard to control

  

  This might differ from other people's opinions, but I felt this blade has a lot of bounce.
  It bounces way more than the Ebenholz, no comparison.
  Looking at the catalog it's listed on the slower end within the "fast" category, but to me it feels like one of the fastest blades in that category.
  The rubbers were both 1.8mm, so that probably contributed to the strong bounce.
  Also, opinions on hardness differ, but I found it fairly hard.
  It's not super hard, but even on forehand hits I felt a bit of a sharp, snappy sensation.
  And above all, control is difficult.
  I couldn't handle it at all. Even someone better than me said they couldn't handle it either.
  It might be a good blade for players who go for one-shot smashes to finish points, or advanced players who can handle any blade.
  For an average player, I felt this blade would leave you unable to control the ball and end up weakening your game.
  I bought it expecting
  - very light
  - moderate bounce
  but I ended up disappointed.
  If you're looking for a blade like that, I think you should choose a different one.

  他の方の意見とは少し異なるかもしれませんが私は相当弾むラケットだと感じました。
  エバンホルツの比べ物にならないほど弾みます。
  カタログを見るとファーストの中では遅い方になっていますが私はファーストの中でもトップクラスの速さであるように思います。
  ラバーは両面1.8だったのでラケットが相当弾むと考えられます。
  また、硬さも他の方と意見が異なりますがまあまあ硬いと感じました。
  すごく硬くはないですが、フォア打ちでも少しバチバチなるような感覚がありました。
  そして何よりコントロールが難しいです。
  私は全く使いこなせませんでした。私よりも上手い人が打ってもやはり使いこなせないと言ってました。
  一発のスマッシュ等で決めに行く人や、どんなラケットでも使いこなせるような上級者にとっては良いラケットかも知れません。
  一般的な人が使っても、コントロールが出来ず、弱くなってしまうようなラケットだと感じました。
  私は
  ・とても軽い
  ・適度に弾む
  というイメージで購入したのですが、ガッカリしてしまいました。
  そのようなラケットを求めている人は別のラケットを選んだ方がいいと思います。

  Medium pen back haste (Experience: １１〜２０ years)

  

  I shaved down the cork on the grip and modified it for reverse-penhold backhand play; the modified blade weighs 60g.
  Even with rubber on both sides it's 148g, more than 20g lighter than the Chinese-penhold blade I usually use, and it's easy to swing through.
  It's a carbon blade, but since it's an inner-carbon construction it's not a wild flyer and is easy to handle, while still having plenty of bounce. The head is narrower than a Chinese-penhold blade, but thanks to the carbon the sweet spot is actually fairly wide.
  If you're using it for attacking play, I think it works with most rubbers.
  Maybe because of the rounded corners, the balance point isn't too far toward the tip.
  That said, since it's light, it falls short of a Chinese-penhold blade in single-shot power and block stability.
  It suits play close to the table, and I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to try reverse-penhold backhand (though modifying the grip helps).
  Also, for a reversible-style blade the grip is a bit wide, which makes it easy to put power into the ball and helps with stability during reverse-penhold backhand strokes.

  グリップのコルクを削り裏面打法用に改造して使用、改造後60gの個体を使用
  両面貼っても148gでいつも使っている中国式よりも20g以上軽く振り抜き易いです
  カーボンラケットですがインナーなのでぶっ飛びではなく扱い易い仕上がりですが充分弾みますし中国式よりも面が狭いのですがカーボンのお陰でスイートスポットは割と広いです
  攻撃用として使うなら大体のラバーには合うと思います
  角丸なお陰か重心は先端寄り過ぎません
  ただやはり軽いので１発の威力やブロックの安定感は中国式に劣ります
  前陣でのプレー向きですし裏面打法に挑戦したい方におすすめです(グリップは改造した方がいいですが)
  あと反転式ラケットにしてはグリップがちょっと幅広いんで球に力を伝えやすいし裏面打法の時に安定しやすいのも良かったです

  Hydrogen ion (Experience: ６〜１０ years) This is a fun toy. Super light with a great swing-through! Even though it's penhold, you can attach a heavy rubber on the back

  

  I bought this on a flea-market app because I wanted to try penhold with a backhand rubber attached.
  Actual weight is 63g, lighter than some cheap shakehand blades!
  It has 5 plies of wood plus 2 carbon plies built in right at the core as an inner layer, so it's not as stiff as other carbon blades, and it doesn't have as much bounce as you'd expect from carbon, but I think that's a good balance.
  It's more of an attacking reverse-penhold blade than a pips-out penhold one.
  Since it's an attacking blade with a backhand rubber, I can handle most things with my forehand and short game, so it's fun being able to use combinations that wouldn't work with a normal attacking style using something like a strong tacky rubber. I don't compete in tournaments anymore and I mainly use shakehand, so this is really just a toy for me, but I still think it's a good blade.

  日ペン表裏面打法付きをやってみたく某フリマアプリで購入。
  重さが実測63gで下手なシェークより軽い！
  木材５枚＋カーボン２枚が心材すぐのインナーとして入れられているため、他のカーボンラケット程固くなく、また、カーボンと言うほど弾みませんが程よいと思います。
  ペン粒よりは攻撃型の反ペンですね。
  攻撃型裏面付きだからフォアとショートで大体処理できるので、強粘着みたいな普通の攻撃じゃ今は使い物にならないような組み合わせが使えて楽しいです。大会はもう出ないし普段シェークだからおもちゃにしかなりませんがいいラケットだと思います
