    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly rated as an entry-level to intermediate paddle suitable for beginners and as a second racket. The 5-ply construction offers moderate elasticity and control, with attractive color variations. However, some users note insufficient power in mid-to-back court play.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Ease of use and control performance for beginners
    • Moderate bounce and speed feel with 5-ply construction
    • Excellent for tabletop techniques with good stability
    • Multiple color variations for variety in selection
    • Ideal as a second racket or for upgrading
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe stiff 5-ply construction produces good speed, tabletop play is easy, and it's very user-friendly. It works well as a second racket or for those prioritizing stability in their drive-type game.
    ▽ CriticalDespite being fast, it lacks carbon reinforcement, making mid-to-back court play challenging. It's best suited as a second racket option.

      Front-end haste (Experience: 4〜5 years) Recommended as your second blade!

      Player reviews

      I'd had a really good impression of the Factive Carbon and the Eboshal, so I bought this one just to try it out. My first impression was that, for a wood blade, it's quite bouncy. It's impressive that a simple 5-ply blade bounces this much! Of course it also pairs well with tacky rubbers like Hurricane. That said, bouncy as it is, it's non-carbon, so playing from mid-to-far distance is tough. It's really best suited as a second blade. The grip also comes in lots of colors, so I'd recommend it to intermediate players too.

      Small fish savage (Experience: 4〜5 years) Recommended for beginners

      Player reviews

      Really made for beginners.
      Because of that it's easy to control and not biased toward anything in particular.
      The backhand is a bit easier to use.
      I think beginners should buy this racket and use it to figure out which playing style suits them.

      Player reviews

      I think this is for beginners. When I started table tennis, I had Alfil on both sides. The control wasn't bad, and it had decent speed too. But when I played an advanced player in a tournament, I remember being surprised at the difference in spin.
      Backhand technique is easy with it. It still goes in even if you step back a bit.

      I bought this because you can choose the color and it looks cool.
      After using it, I found the short-game techniques (chiquita, flick) easy to pull off, and it felt like it gave quite a bit of speed. That said, since I have small hands, the grip felt a bit thick.
      If you're torn on which blade to pick and have small hands, I'd suggest something like the "Lattica," made by the same manufacturer.
      I think this blade is great either as a first racket for someone starting table tennis, or as a second racket to step up to.

      Jumbo (Experience: 2〜3 years) Stiff 5-ply blade

      Player reviews

      It's a fairly hard 5-ply blade with a good amount of speed, and it's easy to handle in the short game too — very manageable overall. Since it's hard, you don't get much of a flexing sensation.
      I think it's a good choice for a second blade, or for topspin-drive players who prioritize stability.

      My impression is that it bounces a bit more than your typical beginner blade.
      It's a rare blade that lets you pick a color, so I'd highly recommend it to anyone just starting out in table tennis.
