    Advance rally predominantly with batting ball making full use of rotation

    Emphasis on ease of rotation and stability, newly designed timber and plywood construction with thin blades. It is recommended for athletes who want to advance rally predominantly with weapons of former counter drivers with a large amount of rotation.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    This racket is highly rated as a thin-blade carbon racket specialized for front-court attacking play. It excels in spin and control, though it's noted as unsuitable for power-focused players.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Thin blade (5.5mm) allows easy spin generation and ball grip through flex
    • Front-court counters, flicks, and touch shots are stable and reliable
    • Lightweight with smooth swing-through, ideal for women and veteran players
    • Alylate carbon provides versatile soft-to-hard ball feel
    • Reduced rebound in back-court and power shots; insufficient for power players
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveLightweight with easy transitions, enabling comfortable stop and flick shots. Front-court attacking stability is the best I've experienced in over a decade of table tennis. Versatile in soft-to-hard feel, significantly reducing errors on connecting balls.
    ▽ CriticalDespite carbon reinforcement, the rebound is too weak. As a power-drive type player, shots from mid-court get caught in the net, and overall the racket doesn't fly as expected.

      sho-go (Experience: １１〜２０ years) Special flexible material

      Player reviews

      I borrowed a junior teammate's blade and gave it a try. I normally use shakehand, and these are my impressions from comparing it to what I usually use.

      First, seeing it in person, the blade felt thinner than I expected.
      When I actually hit with it, I could really feel the flex.
      Thanks to the ALC, the overall feel on contact is on the harder side, but the bounce doesn't feel all that strong.
      It gives the impression of a blade that gets its distance from the flex, so I think you need to play relatively close to the table to get the most out of it.
      For the short game and serving, the lack of bounce actually makes things easier, and it felt like a special-material blade that doesn't get in the way of delicate touch shots.

      That said, even though it doesn't have much bounce, the strong flex means that even a dropped contact point on a loop can still produce a good shot, so if you struggle with connecting balls, it might be worth trying once.

      Jorno (Experience: ４〜５ years) Finally released!

      Player reviews

      Butterfly never had an ALC blade for the Chinese penhold grip, so I was pretty surprised to hear one was coming out! When I actually tried it, it was really easy to put spin on the ball. Attacking close to the table is where it plays most stably, but you can also get powerful shots from mid-distance. It was easy to control too.

      Medium pen table (Experience: ２〜３ years)

      Player reviews

      I use Chinese penhold with short pips. This blade is easy to serve with, and it works with pretty much any rubber. I've never had a blade this easy to use before.

      Good spin, good speed, and stable too — the spin on serve drives is fantastic.
