    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Characterized by the weight and rigidity typical of 7-ply blades, this racket excels in power and feel. It receives high praise from aggressive players seeking wood material authenticity over special material rackets, though it requires strength and technique to handle effectively.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • 7-ply construction creates weight and hardness enabling powerful shots
    • Excellent feel and control characteristic of wood material rackets
    • Strong balance of speed and spin, particularly effective for drives
    • Requires player strength and technique; unsuitable for beginners
    • Great value compared to carbon rackets, appeals to feel-focused players
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveDelivers the classic 7-ply triple threat: heavy, hard, and springy, with exceptional wood feel and shot quality. Resists opponent force effectively and allows stable blocking. A truly excellent racket with great value.
    ▽ CriticalToo heavy with inadequate spin generation and early ball release. Arm-only swings cause fatigue; requires proper lower-body and rotational mechanics. Absolutely not recommended for beginners.

      Although it seems to be only seven plywoods, it feels a bit heavy but I recommend it to the second racket so I know immediately when hitting the core. Moreover, I think that it is a racket that does not choose rubber as it was easy to use although I used pasty leopard and the polar pole in the past.

      Taku Taku (Experience:4〜5 years) easy to use

      Player reviews

      My first impression of the SK7 Classic was, "Despite being made of wood, it has incredible power!"

      As expected of a 7-ply blade, the feel is solid, and drives produce very heavy balls. It pairs particularly well with Tenergy 05, and the arc and spin of loop drives feel fantastic.

      Blocks and counters are also stable, and I felt less likely to be overwhelmed by my opponent's powerful shots. Unlike inner carbon blades that feel like the ball just flies on its own, this racket responds precisely to my swing, giving me a real sense of control over the game.

      On the other hand, it's a bit heavy, so swinging it with just your arm can be tiring. However, for players who can use their whole body to swing, this racket is a powerful weapon.

      Overall, it has a good balance of speed, stability, and feel, retaining the satisfying feel of a wooden racket while also delivering power. It's a very enjoyable racket for offensive players.

      The Battle of Minoshima! Also suitable for single-sided pens.

      Player reviews

      If you want to use a single-sided penhold grip with a Chinese style, this is the one.

      It has good thickness and guaranteed bounce.

      It's less affected by the opponent's spin, allowing you to hit the ball with confidence.

      However, some individual blades are heavy, so be careful.

      For now, overwhelm your opponent with rubbers like Tenergy or Dig.

    • (Experience:6〜10 years) I gave up on using the 7-ply wood once, but now I'm trying it again...

      Player reviews

      I used the FL90G.

      I bought this as my second racket when I first started playing table tennis again, but at the time it was too bouncy and heavy and I couldn't handle it at all so I put it away.
      I was surprised at how difficult it was to use the Inner Force Layer ALC that I tried recently, so I pulled it out to compare it.

      It has the three qualities of being hard, flying, and heavy, but you can also feel the ball holding (flexibility) of the wood.
      As expected, the ALC wins in terms of the power of the ball from the middle, but this one was easier to use.
      In terms of ball holding of the rackets I have used, I would say Inner Force ALCS >> Clipper >> SK7 >>> Inner Force ALC.

      The grip is round and not angular compared to the Inner Force series, so it feels a little thin.
      If you don't like hard carbon and want distance, please give it a try.

      Genhogan (Experience:More than 20 years) Good flight and heavy ball

      Player reviews

      It's been six months since I started playing large ball table tennis again, and I'm really enjoying my weekly practice.
      In my last review, I was impressed with the Nittaku Miyabi FL and how it felt to hit the ball. I got a little greedy and bought a second racket. Special materials such as carbon are great for large balls because they bounce well, but I thought they might be hard to feel when hitting the ball and they're also expensive, so I bought the Butterfly SK7 Classic, which is made of 7 plywood and is bouncy and made of inexpensive wood. It's great value for money.
      The Miyabi is a double-sided Royal Prince with a special thickness and weighs 12.9g, while the SK7 is a double-sided Allegro with a Max weight of 147g.
      At first, the SK7 flew too far and I was hitting the ball over the table quite a bit, but after the third practice session I got used to it and started hitting deeper balls.
      I had my opponent hit the ball with these two rackets and received my own impressions. I was told that the Miyabi didn't fly very far and the SK7 was heavy. I personally think that the SK7 flies well, but the control of the smash aimed at the corner of the opponent's court seems to be more accurate with the Miyabi. I think I'll get used to the SK7 for a while.

      The premise is that you can make a good swing!
      If you try to swing it with just your arm (from the upper arm onwards), it's a pretty heavy and difficult racket to handle. If you can swing it well from your shoulder blades in conjunction with your lower body, I think you'll be able to handle it reasonably well!
      Weight = heavy
      Spin = lower average
      Speed = upper average
      Helpfulness = upper average
      Fun = high (I think it will be popular with players who have played since the Showa era)

      Beginner Pro (Experience:2〜3 years) Good speed

      Player reviews

      I was originally using a five-ply wood racket, but when I changed to this one, I was surprised at how much it bounced. And because it's a seven-ply wood racket, depending on the hardness and thickness of the rubber, it can weigh more than 195g, so you may need to adjust it. Since it's made of wood, it has a certain amount of ball retention, but it's a racket that flies quite well, so it may be a little difficult to loop. No, that's probably just my skill.
      It was also easy to do back and front. And it looks cool, so I recommend it as a second or third racket.
