    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.

      sho-go (Experience: 11〜20 years) Carbon that's not a wild ride

      Player reviews

      A student at the same practice hall was using this, and they let me hit with it.

      My first impression was that even though it's outer carbon, it's not too hard.
      Because the ply is on the thin side, I could feel it flex.
      And the ball had more arc than I expected.

      Rather than being a blade that naturally bounces a lot, it feels more like a blade that bounces a lot if you want it to. I think it's an excellent blade, you can get speed even with a light stroke, but spin is also easy to put on.

      That said, overall the ball feels like it loses a bit of weight, so I think people who want to put real power into the ball would be happier with an inner-carbon or 7-ply all-wood blade.

      It's carbon, but it's a blade with no bad habits, so I think it also works well for people who play a fast-paced game close to the table, or who use short pips.

      Pompon (Experience: Less than a year) Easy to use❗

      Player reviews

      I bought this to switch over to a carbon blade. Since I'm an attacking-style player, the 77g weight was a bit light and didn't really suit me, but I think it would be a great blade for someone who uses a lot of variety, like pushes and chiquitas!

      Deskman (Experience: 2〜3 years) Cheap and good for those moving past beginner level, and intermediates

      Player reviews

      I'd recommend it for people moving past beginner level, and for intermediate players.
      Overall it's a well-balanced blade that generates good spin.
      It bounces quite a bit, so I'd also recommend it to people without much power.

      Pocky (Experience: 4〜5 years) Great spin

      Player reviews

      It gets a ton of spin and matched really well with Tenergy 80.
      Also, attacking from mid-distance is really easy to swing, so a lot of shots land.
      For me, I like the size and thickness of this grip, so when I do a chiquita, I get a huge amount of spin and speed.

      ALPS (Experience: 2〜3 years) A capable blade that can do it all

      Player reviews

      This is my first all-wood blade.
      My first impression is that the ball flies pretty straight. But maybe thanks to the flex of the blade, you can also hit balls that curve.
      It has both speed and spin, and smashes feel really satisfying. Technique-wise, of course drives work, and pretty much any spin-based technique works too. But with the chiquita, it felt like the ball wouldn't curve unless I brought the racket in from the side.

      The one issue is that I tend to put a lot of force into my swing and always go full swing, so it didn't match this blade's tendency to fly, and I had a lot of overshoot misses until I got used to it (^ω^)...

      I'd recommend this blade to people who want to learn the basic techniques, or to people who don't have much power and can't get the ball to fly.

      Table tennis (Experience: 2〜3 years)

      Player reviews

      I thought it was all about speed, but it actually gets a lot of spin too and it's easy to control. I'd recommend it for anyone trying carbon for the first time.

      Yume Mune-kun (Experience: 2〜3 years)

      Player reviews

      I heard my friend bought this.
      When I tried receiving with it, smashes and drives curved in a strange way.
      This blade also has a thin grip, so it's for people with small hands.
      Even with an arm-only swing, I think you can hit powerful drives with it.
      It's lightweight.
      I'd definitely recommend it to anyone moving up from a 5-ply all-wood blade.
      It's affordable too.
      My friend's serve got a lot stronger, and he's now able to produce long serves that curve, so it's easy to serve with too.
