    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.

      Glassman (Experience: 4〜5 years) Easy to handle, light!

      Player reviews

      This blade delivers on all three things I wanted: light weight, a thin ply, and special-material construction.
      The 5.2mm ply thickness is excellent.

      - It's just plain light (mine weighs 77g)
      Even though it's light, the shots don't feel weak, the carbon covers for it and you can still hit hard.

      - Every kind of play is easy
      There's no runaway flying feeling, and it's easy to control, so overall it's about as easy to play all sorts of shots with as an all-wood blade.

      - Works with long pips too
      I'm a long-pips user.
      Since the ply is thin, control is easy and blocks and chops are no problem at all.
      The amount of variation drops a little, but you can still pull off heavily spin-reversing blocks and more aggressive shots.

      I'm normally in the anti-Butterfly camp and avoid Butterfly products, Tenergy included (lol), but
      this blade is where I ended up after chasing what I wanted.
      As you'd expect from a top brand, the quality is excellent too, I'm very satisfied with this product.

      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.

      Ponpon (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.
