Shan (Experience: ６〜１０ years) A shocking racket

I came across the Ver.D while I was experimenting with different blades.
The reason I bought it was the marketing copy.
I found a line that basically said something like: it doesn't bounce like wood over the table, but bounces like a special-material blade once you step back.
I thought, "if a blade like that really existed, everyone would be buying it!" and figured I'd probably get fooled, but bought it half out of curiosity anyway.
And then I got hit with a shock like nothing before.
Up until then, I'd always struggled with having to sacrifice either short-game control or distance when stepping back.
But this blade solved all of that.
It's a blade that makes every single technique feel easy.
It paired amazingly well with tacky rubber, but it also holds the ball well with tension rubber, so I think not being picky about rubber is one of its features.
I also swapped blades and test-hit with others, and I got pushed back hard, seriously (lol)But as perfect as this blade is, if it has one flaw, it's the weight.
It's around 90g, so doing strength training until you can swing it properly after buying it is basically a requirement (lol)If you're currently agonizing over which blade to pick, why not assume you might get fooled like I did and give this one a try?

In a word, this is amazing!
It still has a solid wood feel, but when you drive, it flies further than wood - it's just great!
Also, the sweet spot is insanely wide - I'd say 70-80% of the blade feels like the sweet spot.
Because of that, the drive and everything else feels incredibly stable.
I'd recommend this for people who like the feel of wood but want more distance than wood gives, or anyone who wants more stability in their game.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Without a doubt this is Mizuno's number one blade.
It's 7 plies plus 2 special-material layers, but it feels almost like a regular 7-ply blade to hit with.I think this is perfect for anyone using a 7-ply blade who wants a bit more distance.

I heard it pairs well with tacky rubber, so I tried putting on the currently talked-about 09C. The match was really good. It holds the ball really well, plus it's fast, and it doesn't bounce too much so the short game is easy to handle too. If you can't decide, this combination is a safe bet. On the backhand, the Q5 was also easy to swing.

I switched from the Innerforce Layer ALC. It's an inner blade, but it still felt like a special-material blade to me. I'm not a big fan of special materials, so I went looking for a special-material blade that has a wood-like feel, and ended up with this one.
Speed: great — the special material is doing its job
Spin: great — it grips because it's wood!
Feel: great — it's wooood!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

For hitting drives to a single spot, it's flawless — first-class in both speed and spin. But once it came to a match, the blade felt heavy and my transitions got slower. As a result, I often couldn't swing through properly and ended up with flat, spinless balls. If you have enough strength to swing through properly even in a match, I think this blade is really good.

First off, I think the feel is amazing. It's not that different from a 7-ply, so I'd recommend it to anyone who finds a plain wood blade lacking.
This blade might go well with all sorts of rubbers.
It's pricey, but I think it's worth buying.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard
