    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.

      Hi ~ (Experience: 2〜3 years) Light and high-performance, but chips easily

      Player reviews

      I bought this looking for a light blade.
      I'm pretty happy with it. Specifically...
      - It's light, but maybe because you can still swing all the way through it, you still get speed
      - Since it's light, switching direction is quick
      - Even though it's carbon, it doesn't fly too much
      - It's not worse in any way than my previous blade (a 7-ply wood)
      - I think the performance is more than worth the price

      If I had to point out problems...
      - The surface layer is made of a weak material like balsa wood, so it chips, and pieces flake off when you replace the rubber

      Just really light!
      The ball leaves the racket quickly, so it's not great for drives (though fine with tacky rubber).

      Since it's light, it's easy to swing, and easy to play rallies or a close-to-the-table style.
      On the other hand, it's hard to do the short game with.

      The Nittaku Cellenty BALCA (discontinued) I borrowed from a friend
      had better control and feel.

      Chiquita (Experience: Less than a year) For those switching to carbon, as a second racket

      Player reviews

      I bought this as my first blade. First off, it doesn't bounce as much as Nittaku's Fly ATT Carbon. My friend had a Fly ATT so I tried borrowing it, but I think the SK Carbon has better control since it doesn't bounce as much. Spin goes on well too, and I think it's good as "someone's first blade moving from wood to carbon, or a second blade." I don't think a Fly ATT Carbon is a good choice as someone's very first blade — it bounces too much and would be hard for a beginner to handle. It also feels somewhat similar to TSP's Djurus.

      Hello (Experience: 4〜5 years) Super light!

      Player reviews

      This blade is, well, light! Lol
      The price is affordable too, so I'd recommend it for beginners.
      The speed feels good,
      spin is so-so,
      control works fine,
      but the feel isn't great.

      Table tennis addict (Experience: 2〜3 years) Fast and easy to swing

      Player reviews

      To sum it up first, it's very fast and light, making it easy to hit in quick succession.
      [Basic hitting]
      Both forehand and backhand are easy to swing, so it's great for drive-blocking, but I got the impression control was a little tricky, more so than the drives themselves. That said, after about a month of getting used to it, you can start aiming your shots consistently.
      [Drives, etc.]
      Being an outer-ply blade, it's easy to hit fast balls. If you take the ball early on both forehand and backhand, you can get shots out at speeds close to Fan Zhendong's.
      For blocking, unless you take quite a lot of power off the shot it won't go in stably, so I'd recommend pairing it with a stable rubber like C1.
      For loop drives, you can put spin on if you try, and it's a pretty good blade for that, but control is a bit lacking there; other than that you can basically adjust both spin and speed yourself, so it's more than good enough.
      [Using it in matches]
      For match use, if you use the speed that only an outer-ply blade gives while aiming your shots, you can get pretty far at the junior high district level.
      If you want to make loop drives your main weapon, I personally think it's better to use a rubber like G1 and fight it out with spin.

      Ren-chan (Experience: 2〜3 years) So light!

      Player reviews

      It's just really light.
      Also, it gives good speed.
      The control is good too,
      so I personally find it easy to handle.

      sk carbon (Experience: 2〜3 years) Fast!

      Player reviews

      It's fast, and drives and smashes go in easily. But the ball flies off before you can really get spin on it, so it's not great for pushes or stops. On serves too, unless you really brush the ball hard, it's hard to get spin on. It pairs really well with Rozena, so with that on, beginners can hit stably. It might feel a bit lacking for intermediate to advanced players.
