    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.

      SK Carbon currently used (Experience: 2〜3 years) Light and easy to swing

      Player reviews

      It's light and easy to swing, but I think it's stronger in the hands of players who play close to the table doing pushes and such, rather than people who just hit hard all the time.

      Caramel (Experience: 4〜5 years)

      Player reviews

      This was my first carbon blade, but it's very easy to use. I have long pips on it, and it doesn't feel affected by the carbon at all—it's easy to use. Topspin drives and backhands with long pips are really easy to do with this.

      Hotachiizu (Experience: 2〜3 years) Good

      Player reviews

      Insanely light.
      It's an outer-ply blade, but the bounce is just right, and it doesn't fly too much, so it's easy to control.
      For a carbon blade, the bounce is on the lower side, so it's easy to get spin on too.
      Chiquita feels amazing on this.
      You get speed and spin, so it's the best.
      Everyone should buy one.

      A junior high school student aiming for the entire Hokkaido (Experience: Less than a year) Great step-up from a beginner blade to special materials

      Player reviews

      I started playing table tennis in junior high and had been using a beginner's blade up until now. This one was quick to get used to, and since it was light I got good results in matches right away. I had tacky rubber on it too, but since it was easy to swing quickly, I still got plenty of spin on the ball.
      That said, to generate speed you have to swing all the way through, which was a bit tough, but on the plus side it didn't tire me out easily.

      butterfly (Experience: 4〜5 years) Preference varies by person

      Player reviews

      At first it took some time to get used to.
      But once you get used to it, it makes technique overall easier and it flies quite well.
      Since it's light, I thought it was really great that you can still use thick rubber without issue.

      Harpy (Experience: 2〜3 years) I don't think it's suited for mid-distance rallies

      Player reviews

      As I said in the title, personally I don't think this is very well suited to rallies from mid-distance or away from the table.

      Reason 1: The ball feels light
      Since the blade itself is light, no matter how good a rubber you use, the weight behind the shot doesn't change, so you'd just be wasting money.

      Reason 2: It flexes a lot and gets overpowered
      This is common with carbon blades — when less material is used, the blade gets lighter and flexes more. That makes it easier to play fast-paced rallies, but that's really only true
      close to the table, and I don't think it suits players who play away from the table.
      Let me try to sum it up in my own way.
      First, the kind of player this suits is someone whose game is mainly built around counter-hitting. And it's also suited to players who are good at the short game and serving.

      Taro Taro (Experience: 2〜3 years) You'll be stunned by how easy it swings through at first

      Player reviews

      I still don't have much table tennis experience, and I've been using this for about a year.
      As others have probably noticed too, it's really light, and the shop staff told me that since you can put together a light overall setup with any rubber, they'd recommend it for people who aren't used to how much force to put in, or whose swing isn't very powerful. That said, if you're weak, the ball still travels a decent distance despite the lack of strength, but you obviously won't get much power out of it. Still, it has enough control to make up for that, so even if you suddenly change direction you can handle it to some extent (though that does depend on your skill level). I'll be switching to short pips soon, so I'm looking forward to that. Sorry that I can only write a review for the inverted-rubber-on-both-sides setup.
