NO.1 table tennis review site

Adidas's table tennis business is gone now, this racket has been discontinued, and even the token JTTA approval period has expired, so it's becoming harder and harder to actually use it — but I get permission from the head referee at official tournaments and use it anyway (so far it's always been approved without issue).
As for the racket's characteristics, its biggest strength is that it really flies. I mainly play as a loop drive player who's devoted to the Vega series, focusing on mid-distance play. When you get into a drive-for-drive rally with an opponent, it feels less like the rubber is sending the ball and more like the blade itself is doing it — it really flies. It's perfect for those exchanges.
The weak point is that short-game techniques like flicks and reverse chiquitas are harder to pull off compared to a lighter 5-ply blade — my honest opinion is that it "can't flex."
That said, I'm a hardcore drive-attack type, so it doesn't really affect me much, but it should be useful info for others.
If you ever come across this racket, I wouldn't necessarily call it a treasure, but I'd love for people to give it a try.
