    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    The majority of reviews praise its lightweight nature and control characteristics, while some users point out drawbacks such as the ball becoming lighter or issues with ball feel. It pairs exceptionally well with tacky rubbers and is supported by a wide range of players from beginners to advanced users.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Ultra-lightweight at 79g, easy to swing, ideal for women and beginners
    • Excellent compatibility with tacky rubbers, allowing easy handling of heavy rubbers
    • Perfect for front-court attacking players with superior chipshots and chiquita shots
    • Carbon racket with controlled bounce for superior control without excessive flight
    • Excellent value at around 8,000 yen with outstanding cost performance
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveLightweight with excellent follow-through, soft ball feel despite being outer carbon with ultra-thin material, allowing easy chopshooting and length control, making it an excellent racket that beginners and intermediate players can easily handle.
    ▽ CriticalNot suitable for mid and back-court rallies; the lightweight racket itself cannot produce weight, and strong flexibility causes you to lose pressure exchanges, making it limited to counter-based front-court players.

      The feel is nice.
      But it bounces a little too much, so it might take some people a while to get used to it.
      If you put short pips on it, the ball leaves the racket quickly when hitting on the backhand, so you can hit without being affected by the opponent's spin.
      Recommended for people who want to play a fast style close to the table.

      Kyonshi Taro (Experience: More than 20 years) A blade that suits heavy rubbers

      Player reviews

      About a year ago I bought a Yasaka Rakza 7 (a German-style rubber) and tried it out, but it bounced too much, making it hard to get spin on, and the blade's total weight was only about 175g, which was too light and gave a mediocre feel, so I stopped using it pretty quickly. But recently, with the semi-tacky rubber boom, I wanted to go back to using Hurricane rubber, which is great for the short game, so I decided to put Nittaku Hurricane Pro 3 Turbo Orange — the closest thing to a German rubber sold domestically, and the bounciest — on both sides, and the blade I chose for that was this "SK Carbon."
      Even with rubber weighing as much as 54g on each side, the total stays within 190g, and even with a Chinese rubber that doesn't bounce much on its own, the power of the Tamuca Carbon gives it plenty of bounce. Also, for light touches in the short game, the rubber's manageability still comes through, so it's easy to use, and I really like it. My win rate has been the best it's ever been recently. Since the blade is light and the rubber is heavy, the balance point is shifted more toward the tip compared to a normal blade, but it's not a problem once you get used to it. There's almost nothing else out there that's a carbon blade at a super-light 79g, it's cheap for a top manufacturer's product, and while at first glance it looks like something for beginners, when you put heavy Hurricane rubber on both sides, the feel transforms into something like a super high-end blade. You'll understand once you try it yourself. I don't plan on changing this combination for a while... probably, lol.

      Dan KAZ (Experience: 2〜3 years) Light!

      Player reviews

      I borrowed a friend's and gave it a try.
      First off, it's super light. Compared to the Swat Carbon I normally use, it's incredibly light. And yet it still has the fantastic quality of producing fast ball speed. I think it's perfect for women or elementary/junior high schoolers who aren't confident in their swing speed.

      pink lemonade (Experience: 11〜20 years) Frighteningly light

      Player reviews

      It's light and has a nice follow-through on your swing.
      It's an outer-carbon blade, but since the material is extremely thin, the bounce is kept under control.
      The feel is soft, pushes feel great to hit, and it's easy to control length as well.
      The arc is high too, so I never feel like I'm going to miss.
      The sweet spot is wide, so I think it's a good blade that's easy to handle even for beginners and intermediate players.
      I use it for tournament days when I'm not feeling my best.

      Tonkii (Experience: 11〜20 years) Too powerful

      Player reviews

      This is really easy to use.
      Thanks to the T5000 carbon, it's really light.
      The speed really comes out.
      I have Tenergy 05 on the forehand side.
      When I first bought it, it was so light the ball kept going long (lol), but I gradually got used to it and now it goes in really well.
      I have Bryce Speed on the backhand side.
      Up until now I was never satisfied with how fast my backhand was.
      But since switching to this blade, my speed has really picked up.
      The rubber's performance might have something to do with it, but I also think it's thanks to the blade. That's because the blade is so light that I get great touch on the ball. I highly recommend everyone try it out.
      Seriously recommend it.

      DKK (Experience: 11〜20 years) A really great blade

      Player reviews

      My rubber is heavy, so I was looking for a light carbon blade. My game is basically about timing the contact point, and with this blade I was able to beat ranked players just playing normally. It's a really great blade. It doesn't feel overly "carbon-y," and when you hit hard the carbon feel kicks in and the ball really flies, so personally I feel like even advanced players could use this. That said, I definitely wouldn't recommend it to people who want to end the point with one big shot.

      Natto (Experience: 2〜3 years) A bit too light

      Player reviews

      This is the carbon version of the SK blade. The performance is good, but since it's 3-ply wood plus carbon, it's probably too light to generate much speed on its own. I guess that's exactly why they added the carbon. I'd recommend it for people without much arm strength, or people who like a light blade~...
