    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    The ultra-lightweight design (approximately 76-79g) is the main feature, making it ideal for beginners transitioning to carbon rackets. It excels in front-court play and on-table techniques, with excellent compatibility with sticky rubbers. However, evaluations are polarized regarding mid-court rallies and powerful strokes, where it shows limitations.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Ultra-lightweight construction enhances swing speed
    • Excellent for front-court play and touch shots
    • Great compatibility with sticky rubber
    • Affordable pricing with high cost-performance
    • Learning curve required before adaptation
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveLightweight with excellent follow-through. Despite being outer carbon, the bounce is well-controlled. Soft feel, satisfying short strokes, and wide sweet spot make it easy for beginners and intermediate players to use.
    ▽ CriticalThe lightweight design makes the ball lighter and harder to return heavy balls. Strong flex makes it unsuitable for mid-court rallies. Poor feedback and delayed skill development. Not recommended for players seeking powerful two-handed attacks.

      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!

      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.

      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.
