    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe sound is excellent and recommended for those with smaller hands. It enables fast shots while maintaining stable ball control with its speed-oriented design.
    ▽ CriticalSpin capability is modest, and despite carbon layers, it doesn't produce excessive speed. Some users find the Japanese-style cork grip bothersome, making it a matter of personal preference.

      Shoku遊 A racket for short-pips users & women

      Player reviews

      The blade is Chinese-style, but the grip is Japanese-style with a small cork piece where your index finger rests.
      It feels kind of like a round pen. The blade is on the thin side and hard. 3 plies of wood plus 2 layers of G carbon.
      The speed isn't much different from a 5-ply, and for a carbon blade it doesn't fly as much as you'd expect. The feel is hard.
      Some would say that's good since it doesn't overshoot. Still, you can get plenty of speed out of it.
      The trajectory is more straight-line than arcing. Personally I feel it pairs well with short pips.
      With the same maker's "Hammond FA Speed" on it, the feel and speed were great.
      You can hit fast shots while keeping stable ball control. Also, since the grip is short and thin,
      I think it'll fit women, kids, or men with smaller hands.
      If you're using inverted rubber and you like a hard feel, I'd go with a hard, thin Chinese tacky rubber.
      If you play close to the table with quick, light strokes, I think you can make good use of this blade's hardness and flex.
      That said, even among penhold players, opinions on this blade's grip and shape
      will be divided. If you're not used to the Japanese style and find the cork gets in the way when you hit the ball,
      then obviously the Chinese-style "Routis C" would be the better choice.

      Ping Pong Nice sound

      Player reviews

      The sound off the blade is especially nice. The Routis can be recommended even for people with small hands. I was torn between this and the Routis C to the point I nearly just flipped a coin, so I went with this one. It's listed as lightweight, but once you put rubber on it, it becomes a decent weight. It leans more toward speed than spin.

      I've used the 548, which seems like an earlier version of the Routis, a few times, and it's pretty hard. Also, smashing with it felt really great.
