This blade can basically do everything, matches with any rubber, and I think every ability it has is average or better.
Put another way, it doesn't have a distinct personality or a real standout strength.. but by the same token, it doesn't really have any weaknesses either.
If you're a beginner or intermediate player who hasn't settled on a playing style yet, I think pairing this with an easy-to-use inverted rubber is a solid choice for the time being.
Once your skill improves or your style becomes clear from there, you can switch out the blade and rubber.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

As a blade, this is a really solid recommendation for beginner-to-intermediate players.
It's a 5-ply blade with a slightly larger blade size, so
it's a great fit for people who are just starting table tennis.
Once you reach upper-intermediate level, the speed might start to feel a bit lacking,
so once you've improved, it might be worth switching to something like an Acoustic or a carbon blade.
For rubbers, if you're a beginner:
<Forehand> Fly At Spin (medium)
<Backhand> Fly At Soft (medium)
If you're intermediate:
<Forehand> Fastarc C1 (thick)
<Backhand> Fastarc S1 (thick)
If you're advanced:
<Forehand> Hurricane 3 Provincial Blue (max thickness)
<Backhand> Fastarc G1 (max thickness, MAX)
might be the way to go.
This is my top pick of a blade!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

For the price and the ease of use, this is a really great blade.
I can recommend it to everyone from people just starting table tennis to players with unorthodox styles.That said, the grip tends to crack easily, so the durability there might just be what you'd expect for the price.

Serves and pushes are really strong on this one, but Tenergy 80 didn't suit it that well — though that's partly on my own lack of skill.
Angle shots are on the easier side.
That said, close-to-the-table drives with Tenergy 80 didn't go in very often for me. Loop drives with Rozena and Kasumi Basic were easy to pull off.
Since there's no special material in it, it doesn't generate much speed, so you end up comparing your drives to your opponent's.
Blocking is easier here than on other blades — it really stands out.
It suits elementary and middle schoolers, but once you reach a certain level, it often leaves you feeling 'hmm.'
I'd recommend Rozena, and Tenergy FX could probably work too, but Tenergy Hard or Dignics would be too much for it. Recommended for long-pips or short-pips players.
The feel on contact is awesome
Control is good tooOverall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Bought this for my child, who's in elementary school. Until now they'd been using a rental blade from table tennis lessons (a Swat), but I got them a new one. My kid says it's easy to use and loves it, and having their own blade boosted their motivation, so they've been improving fast. I tried hitting with it myself too, and
it has no quirks, control is quite good, and drives are easy to put on. That said, even swinging all out, it doesn't produce much speed.
I think it's a versatile blade that works well from beginner up through intermediate level.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

It was pretty easy to use. With the Mark V and Raigan combo, you can just about manage it for a little over 10,000 yen.

I also paired it with rubbers like Hammond and Factive.
Among those, since the blade is soft, a firmer Hammond X worked really well.
Highly recommended as a first blade.
There's also the Kasumi Special as a step-up option, so that's nice too.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
