    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.

      Reverse Chiquita (Experience: 4〜5 years) So light-------------------

      Player reviews

      Since the blade is light, you can swing it around easily even with tacky rubber on it.
      If you want to try tacky rubber, the price is only about 8,000 yen, which is easy on the wallet, so definitely give it a try.

      Chiquita (Experience: 2〜3 years) Super light

      Player reviews

      1. A softer rubber works well
      2. Easy to win rallies with
      3. Easy to serve with
      4. Doesn't suit a spin-oriented playing style
      5. Blocking is tricky ("easy once you get used to it")
      Conclusion:
      A godly blade

      Sanku is good! (Experience: 2〜3 years) Easy to drive, maybe

      Player reviews

      I'd recommend this as a first composite blade.
      Since the blade is light, the ball feels light too, but you can get to the next shot quickly, so I'd recommend it for players who value speed.
      For rubber, I think putting on one of the currently trendy tacky rubbers would work well too.
      One thing to watch out for: the blade is so light that you might whiff sometimes.

      Manpuku (Experience: 4〜5 years) The gateway to carbon rackets

      Player reviews

      First off, it's light and flies more easily than most wood blades, so its ease of use really stands out.
      That said, it's just easy to use — spin is harder to put on than with a wood blade, and it doesn't fly as far as other carbon blades.
      If you try it and want a bit more ball-holding feel, I think it'd be worth shifting to something in the Innerforce line, and if you want more distance, to something in the Outer ALC line.

      Adhesive (Experience: 6〜10 years) Reaffirmed its high potential

      Player reviews

      I used this back in junior high, and when I tried it again in high school I was surprised at how good it felt. I'd been using the Tornado King, but I switched. Combining the very light blade weight, which raises your swing speed compared to before, with the extra flight the carbon gives you, it's easy to control while still flying well, so I felt it pairs really well with tacky rubber. With the current tacky rubber boom, and spin-oriented tension rubbers with strong grip on the ball being developed one after another, I feel like this might be one of the best blades out there right now.

      ᐠ (ᐛ) ᐟ Aaaaaaaaaaaaa (Experience: Less than a year) Strong rebound, and light!

      Player reviews

      First of all, for the B-side rubber, since it wasn't in the list of options, I picked a different one — it's the Yinhe Jupiter, the orange sponge version sold by wrm, not the blue sponge one.
      I'm using a tacky rubber, and since the SK Carbon bounces well, it makes up for the bounce that tacky rubbers lack. The control is good too, and since the SK Carbon is light, you can keep the total weight down even with a heavy rubber like Hurricane on it. However, the top ply is weak. It flaked a bit when I replaced the rubber, which was disappointing. I think you should apply a racket sealant to it.

      Player reviews

      With Butterfly's carbon blades getting so expensive these days, this one's cheap~
      It's got bounce and you can get spin on it too.
      It's light too, so it's really great!
