    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly-rated outer carbon racket combining wood-like soft feel and excellent control characteristics. Particularly favored by players transitioning from wooden rackets and those prioritizing short-game skills, with lightweight design as additional appeal.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Soft hitting feel and control reminiscent of wooden rackets
    • Exceptional stability on short-game techniques despite being outer carbon
    • Delivers carbon-like power and speed on hard strokes
    • Lightweight and easy to swing with broad sweet spot
    • Compatible with inverted soft rubber
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveDespite being outer carbon, it offers ease of use like wooden rackets, stopping short on light hits and flying well on hard hits. With excellent spin and speed, transition is possible even for those new to special materials.
    ▽ CriticalSome inner racket users note 'insufficient ball retention.' For those seeking linear ball trajectory characteristic of outer rackets, Carbonado 145 or Butterfly's outer ALC models may be more suitable.

      Black Coffee (Experience: More than 20 years) Does it have carbon in it??

      Player reviews

      Moving over from the Infinity.
      Like the title says, when you hit lightly you might wonder, "wait, is there carbon in this?"
      - it's that smooth a transition from an all-wood blade.
      I put max-thickness rubber on both sides, but it doesn't bounce excessively
      once you get used to it, control isn't an issue at all!
      When you hit hard (both drives and smashes), it flies exactly as much as you swing
      with very little energy loss, which is great ♪
      Serve receive, blocking, and other techniques where you don't want the ball to fly were also easy to do.
      It responds exactly to however much you want the ball to fly
      it's an excellent blade.

      Player reviews

      Using the Chinese-penhold 78g version. I moved over from the Infinity.
      Even at hardness 45, there's quite a lot of speed. It has more speed than the Infinity, but even with all that flight, the short game still stays under control. I used to have Shoryu on it, but when I switched to Hurricane Neo 3, this blade completely transformed. It generates the most spin I've ever gotten out of any setup. The blade makes up for the bounce, so it's an outstanding combination. Serves and pushes are the strongest part, but on the other hand, tension rubbers are easier to use for rallies. Highly recommended for tacky-rubber users! Mizuno's GF PRO was also good - it worked well with hard rubbers.

      I bought this out of curiosity since Chinese players Chen Meng and Zhu Yuling use it. It gets decent speed and it's easy to generate spin with, so it's a good blade.
