NO.1 table tennis review site

I bought this racket used without even knowing that there was an ALC.S grade. I switched from a five-ply wood racket. It's said that plywood rackets have the strongest ball control, making them ideal for beginners, but personally, I found this one much easier to use. It felt like a diluted version of the clicky feel (I'm not sure if that's the whole point) of the ZLF racket my table tennis buddy uses, and I felt that it had excellent ball control. I'm embarrassed to admit that I've never really felt the ball control with a plywood racket (maybe it was a heavy racket, so it was dense and had a lot of bounce), but this one makes it much easier to feel the ball's presence, and I feel confident in all my techniques. Even though I've only just been practicing, I feel like I can swing with confidence.

In terms of specific techniques, it's excellent, with no excessive bounce on the table, making everything easy to perform. Of particular note is the speed drive, where you hit the ball thickly. I'm not sure if it's thanks to the flexibility of the thin board, but the ball spins incredibly well, creating a low arc that lands deep into the opponent's court. Even when my opponent was able to wait in the right spot, they often overshot the ball, so I thought the amount of spin was impressive.
