Spin is life (Experience: ２〜３ years) Amazing stability

I used to use the Mizuno Mais Performance, but I wanted a softer blade so I bought this one
It's not that fast, but you can still get good distance out of it. That said, it doesn't fly too much either
Stability and spin are both really good
I don't think it's a good fit for people chasing speed, but it's a great match for anyone who wants stability and spin
Even with a hard rubber like Hurricane on it, you still get that feeling of the ball sinking into the blade before it's sent flying
I plan on sticking with this blade for a long time.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft

Chiquita Banana (Experience: ２〜３ years) No regrets buying this❗❗

Both serves and pushes have crazy spin on them! Control is high, so it's easy to use whether you're a beginner or an advanced player. Smashes land well too. I'm using it just as listed, but Tenergy-series rubbers pair best with it, so if you can afford it, I'd definitely recommend going with those instead. If you're looking for a blade around 10,000 yen, this might be a bit pricey, but you won't regret buying it, so if you're going to buy one anyway, I think this is the blade to get!

LIU (Experience: ６〜１０ years) A blade that doesn't assert itself

This blade has an even softer bounce and feel than the Innerforce Layer ALC.S.
I think pretty much any rubber works well with it.
That said, if a beginner picks max thickness for inverted rubber, I think it'll feel like it flies too much.
If you want to play a controlled game over the table, I'd recommend this blade.Personally, I found the ST handle had a thicker base than the FL and fit my hand better.
They sell an AN handle too, but I think the grip feel on that one is more a matter of personal preference.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft

It's very soft.
You have to get used to this feel, or it'll seem strange.
To me it feels even softer than an all-wood blade.
It generates a ton of spin - so much that I end up overshooting.
It's not all that fast.
I feel like it pairs well with variation-type rubbers.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft

This blade is amazing beyond words!
Serves are super easy to put spin on! Whatever rubber you use, you'll be able to control your serves freely!
Topspin drives arc beautifully and are very stable. For control alone, it's probably the best Butterfly blade out there!
Blocks are very stable since the blade itself doesn't have much bounce! Pair it with a softer rubber and you'll be able to control it however you like!
When I first bought it I didn't expect much in terms of speed, but now I'm more than satisfied. I'd recommend this blade to anyone who wants offensive power while still prioritizing stability. You definitely won't regret buying it!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

This is the first special-material blade I ever bought. After this I used the Innerforce Layer ZLC, but I ended up coming back to this one.
It's a blade that makes spin easy to generate and is easy to control. It's hard to blast through with one big shot, but I had several moments where I just stuck the blade out in a hurry and the ball ended up landing back in the opponent's court on its own.
It's on the softer side and doesn't have that much bounce, so I feel like it's better balanced with a slightly harder, springier rubber.
In particular, G1 on the backhand was excellent in terms of keeping the bounce down while still generating good spin - it felt like the ideal combination for this blade.
On the forehand, it also seemed to pair well with harder, slightly bouncier rubbers like Q3 or 05. This blade is a strong option for a style of table tennis that values balance and spin over raw power.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I tried it with the 05 and 80 rubbers on it.
The first thing that really stands out is the amount of spin - you'd never guess there's carbon in it - along with speed that goes well beyond the bare minimum.
And then there's the control, where the ball lands right where you aim it.
I've never seen a blade that combines everything at such a high level.
The one downside is the price.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
