    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    A high-performance racket tailored for aggressive play styles. Exceptional elasticity and spin control receive high praise, but polarized reviews highlight difficulty for beginners and less powerful players due to demanding power requirements.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent bounce and flex enabling powerful, hard-hitting drives
    • Strong compatibility with sticky rubbers; sharp, effective serves
    • LG-type grip is comfortable and facilitates quick blade switching
    • Designed for power hitters; challenging for beginners
    • Relatively heavy; may be difficult to swing with dual sticky rubbers
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveAttack techniques are outstanding with first-class performance in bounce, flex, and spin. A professional-grade racket where powerful players can dominate through sheer force.
    ▽ CriticalDifficult for beginners and less powerful players to control; poor bite characteristics are problematic for intermediate users. Heavy weight makes swing-through challenging with dual sticky rubbers.

      Impact pride (Experience: ４〜５ years) Good blade

      Player reviews

      I've also used the Ma Long Carbon 2, but this one is way better. It's cheaper than the Ma Long Carbon 2, and above all, the bounce is amazing! I have Hurricane on it, and the ball really flies. The ball-holding is good too, and the person receiving my shots said the ball came in heavy. What really stands out about this blade is the bounce. It might suit players who like to attack aggressively. As for rubber compatibility, Hurricane might work well, but with tension rubber it might be easy to overshoot.

      Player reviews

      This was the best in the Ma Long Carbon series.
      The power, speed, and spin are all more than satisfactory.
      It bounces more than the Ma Long Carbon 2, but the ball release timing is about the same.
      The weight is balanced toward the tip, so it feels heavy.
      The grip is labeled as an LG type, but it's not actually that thick.
      It's difficult for beginners or intermediate players to handle.

      ks2143 (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Pretty nice

      Player reviews

      *Note: this Hurricane rating is based on Provincial Hurricane Blue Sponge (untreated base).
      First of all, as a premise, this blade shouldn't be paired with tension rubber. It's a blade built to bring out the maximum performance of tacky rubber.
      Serve/receive
      Since it's an inner-type blade, the control feels quite good. Serves bite in hard with spin.
      Drive
      It really flies. If you're conscious about adding spin, you get powerful drives that blow right through.
      Drive against backspin
      This left a pretty good impression. The power is more than enough.
      Block
      Might take a bit of getting used to.
      Push
      Might be hard to do well without practice.
      Overall
      Attacking techniques feel excellent. Defense should be fine once you get used to it.

      Player reviews

      It has good flex and the ball flies off nicely. It's surprisingly stable too. I'd recommend it for players who lack confidence in their power or have a slow swing speed, as well as powerful players like Ma Long or anyone who wants to generate more power.

      Riku-kun (Experience: ４〜５ years) This is insane

      Player reviews

      I'm in my first year of junior high.
      I used to use the Red Shank, but I switched to the Ma Long Carbon.
      My serves have good spin and my stops hold well.
      At the same time, meeting the ball is fast and I can still get loop on it too.
      (I'm mainly a meet-hitter.)
      My speed drives are fast and apparently have a lot on them and feel heavy.
      I can recommend this with full confidence.
      As expected from Nittaku, a real masterpiece.

      Player reviews

      The feel is a bit on the hard side, and it bounces well
      It's also easy to put spin on, and the design looks cool.
      If I had to complain about something, it would just be that the grip is a bit hard to hold (｀・∀・´)

      The discontinued Ma Long Carbon had too thin a grip for me to use, but personally, the thinner grip on this one has made it way easier to use! I'd recommend it!
