    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    The paddle is highly praised for balancing the soft hitting feel of hinoki wood with the elasticity from the 23 processing, with users especially commending its stability in close-to-table techniques and ease of spin generation. However, some players need time to adapt when transitioning from other rackets like Swat.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Soft and elegant hitting feel characteristic of hinoki wood
    • Well-balanced bounce and stability from 23 processing
    • Easy spin generation compatible with various rubber types
    • Combines wood-specific flex with flight distance
    • Suitable for beginners through advanced players
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe hitting feel offers an embracing softness with excellent hand feedback. It features superior bounce from the processing and exceptional spin playability and control inherent to wood rackets. For beginners to intermediate players, it delivers both wonderful operability and sufficient power.
    ▽ CriticalWhen transitioning from Swat, it may not feel as easy to use as expected. Topspin drive and close-to-table control can be difficult, and players who prefer looping attacks may find it less suitable.

      Plywood-Loving Kid (Experience: ６〜１０ years) A too-perfect plywood blade

      Player reviews

      This is a 7-ply blade that's almost too perfect. The blade isn't too thick, and you get good flex, so the ball flies out with a nice arc. I think I've finally found the best, ultimate blade out of everything I've used. Also, the price isn't that high either, so it's nice and affordable.
