    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    This 7-ply blade receives high praise as a high-power racket, offering speed and power comparable to special material rackets while maintaining the feel of wood. However, the substantial weight requires adequate muscle strength and precise form to handle effectively.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • 7-ply construction with heavy, stiff, thick design delivering exceptional speed
    • Excellent ball feel and stable control characteristic of wood rackets
    • Superior drive rotation and power, ideal for intermediate-advanced attacking players
    • Heavy weight demands proper form and full-body swing technique
    • Cost-effective pure wood racket with versatile rubber compatibility
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveDespite being a wood racket, the ball speed is incredible with a solid feel that gives complete control feedback. The balance of speed, stability, and ball feel is excellent, making it genuinely enjoyable for attacking players.
    ▽ CriticalThe excessive weight makes spin difficult to apply, and the fast ball release causes rotation to dissipate before grip. Loop drives are especially challenging, making this an advanced player's racket.

      sk…7 (Experience: 2〜3 years) Loop drive!!

      Player reviews

      It's very heavy, and even after using it for about a year I still haven't quite gotten the switching between forehand and backhand down. That said, short-game plays like stops and flicks are easy to do, which makes it easy to use overall.
      What I think is best about it is how much spin you can get on a loop drive. This blade doesn't seem to care what rubber you use - whatever rubber I paired it with, once I got it working I could put huge spin on the ball. Also, serving with this much weight gives you a lot of centrifugal force, so it's easy to put spin on your serves. I think it suits players who build their game around a third-ball attack.

      It pairs excellently with soft rubbers. I still remember that feeling of the ball going in whether I swung hard or just made contact! It's not that heavy either, so it works for players of any skill level, from beginner to advanced! Also, since it's pure wood, the feel is a bit on the soft side.

      The nostalgic SK7!

      A blade with that classic old-school 7-ply trait of hitting the ball really far.
      It has enough power that you won't lose the exchange even playing away from the table!

      Since it's a 7-ply, it's very heavy. I use Hurricane rubber, and it pairs extremely well.
      Well, I think it works great with pretty much any rubber.

      I LOVE STIGA (Experience: 4〜5 years) Straight.

      Player reviews

      My overall impression is just that it's a hard blade.
      It doesn't fly all that much, but the ball comes out dead straight.
      I can't recommend it to anyone who can't put solid spin on the ball.
      Personally the feel wasn't to my taste, so I let it go after just one use.
      I guess if you're really into that classic, no-frills 7-ply style, this might be irresistible though~...

      Peperoncino (Experience: 2〜3 years) Not recommended for shakehand beginners!

      Player reviews

      In my first year of junior high I used Japanese penhold and felt it didn't suit me, so partway through my second year I bought the SK7 Classic! So my shakehand experience is only about a year - pretty short... Probably because of that, along with not having enough technique or practice, I often had trouble landing my third-ball drive.
      This blade is also quite heavy, and with inverted rubber on both sides, someone with as little shakehand experience as me couldn't keep up switching between forehand and backhand or chaining drives together. So I switched to short pips on the backhand, but even then it's still 185 grams.
      I've said a few negative things, but honestly a lot of the techniques not working out is simply because I haven't practiced enough - for someone who's been playing shakehand for many years, I think this is a great blade that delivers real power! Since switching to this blade myself, the power on my drives and the speed and precision of my flicks and smashes with short pips have both improved a lot, and thanks to that I made it to the round of 8 at the prefectural tournament in the general championships!
      I can't recommend it to shakehand beginners like myself, but I can highly recommend it to experienced shakehand players.

      Water server (Experience: 2〜3 years) Great as a second blade

      Player reviews

      Above all, it flies. You can really feel the 7-ply character coming through.
      That said, it's not hard to put spin on the ball either - techniques that need strong spin, like chops or the chiquita, are still easy to pull off. (Chiquita is hard, though...)
      Also, blocks don't fly too much and are easy to return accurately.
      I use this as my second blade, but I wouldn't recommend using it as your first. The ball flies too much for a first blade. Also, even if things go well using it first, you might struggle when you switch to another blade later.
      This might sound a bit crude, but honestly, for this level of performance, the price feels way too cheap...
