Raspai (Experience: ４〜５ years) Feels woody

It felt like a wood blade's touch with a bit of extra bounce added.
If you hit with your eyes closed, you honestly couldn't tell it apart from pure wood (not that you can actually hit with your eyes closed, haha)

Anonymous (Experience: ４〜５ years)

It flexes a lot. And it bounces a lot too. The feel was very much like a wood blade.

Holy oil sweat (Experience: ４〜５ years)

I switched over from a 7-ply blade. For a carbon blade, it really does generate spin — as you'd expect from an ultra-thin carbon layer. I rely on my loop drive to score points; the spin is a bit less than my old, more flexible wood blade, but it still clears the net over the top just as well as before. It's a little heavy, but I think it's a really good racket.

Up Down Service (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Overwhelming stability

I'm a wood-blade lover, and I can say for sure this is a really good racket.
The ultra-thin carbon layer backs up the wood's sense of speed, but the feel is completely wood.
The blade itself felt on the soft side, I think?
Basically any rubber works with it. Tension rubber would probably be good.
Every technique feels stable, whether you're hitting forehand or backhand.
If you're looking to level up, give this a try.

Hisan dad (Experience: Less than a year) Great stability

I thought this was more of a spin-focused racket than a speed one, and it's fun to use! It's also very stable.

This is compared to the Wa no Kiwami Ao I was using before.

The Wa no Kiwami had good one-shot power for a 5-ply blade, even though it's all-wood.

The Bloodwood is also a 5-ply, but it's thinner than the Wa no Kiwami Ao, and it attacks more with spin than power — when the opponent's return floats up, it makes a nice "crack" sound as it blasts through for the point.

The bounce is kept in check too, so things like backhand hitting feel stable. That said, it's still a racket you can enjoy swinging through for a big smash.

goma (Experience: ４〜５ years)

This is a blade with a harder top ply, and it pairs really well with tacky rubber. The rubber you put on it also matters, but you won't get blow-through speed - instead, you can hit balls with a really high amount of spin. Since the top ply is hard and there's carbon inside, easy connecting shots can end up as dead, spinless balls, so I'd recommend this to players who commit fully to their swing.

carbon (Experience: ２〜３ years) No regrets buying this

I was torn between this and the Arneid, but ended up choosing this one. It was a Christmas present.
Since the top ply is hard, it's easy to pair with tacky or tension rubber. The grip, the blade -
I love them both. It's got carbon on the inside, so spin is fine too.
When I looked at the side, I was like, huh, where's the carbon?
I feel like this blade might be a bit much for me right now, but I'll work hard to master it.
