    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    A well-balanced 5-ply wood racket suitable as a step-up from All-Round Evolution. VPS technology offers excellent rotation and speed balance, though early ball release and handling difficulty suggest it's best suited for intermediate to advanced players.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • VPS technology delivers excellent rotation and speed balance
    • Higher performance than All-Round Evolution with user-friendliness
    • Thin blade design with good flex, excellent drive performance
    • Lightweight with smooth maneuverability and solid net play
    • Challenging for beginners; requires skill to fully utilize
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveWith VPS technology, the rotation is incredible while speed is also excellent. It enhances the versatility of 5-ply wood and excels in overall balance.
    ▽ CriticalEarly ball release requires faster swing speed to apply spin. Players below intermediate level may experience more overpower and net errors due to excessive rebound.

      TH (Experience: 6〜10 years) A nostalgic feel

      Player reviews

      It seemed close to the discontinued Offensive Evolution I used a lot back in the day, so I bought it to try. Of course the feel is a bit different, but the overall sense of use is similar — the blade is really light, and you can feel the nice flex. Since it's a blade that focuses on grip and flex, I think it's good to pair it with a bouncy rubber to balance things out. Personally, I kind of wish they'd bring back the CO shape (the Eric Lindh model) I used to love.

      I use the Clipper Wood and the Celero Wood.
      The Celero Wood is easy to handle, more for intermediate players I'd say? But it's a blade you can really compete with. It's not as fast as the Clipper Wood, but it's easy to use!

      Sorry (Experience: Less than a year) Strong rebound feel

      Player reviews

      I usually use the Kasumi Basic, but I wanted a bit more pop, so I bought this

      The blade is thin, and when you swing through fully you can feel it flex.
      Even on flat hits, the second ply gives it some extra fly, so you get speed.
      In the short game it doesn't bounce too much, and you can control the ball the way you want.
      I'd recommend it for players who attack from close-to-mid distance and over the table.

      F (Experience: Less than a year) Feels easy to drive with

      Player reviews

      I've only been playing table tennis for about six months, so I can't really say anything from a place of authority, but……

      I used to use Butterfly's
      "Mais Performance"
      so I got the impression this one flies a bit more. At first I had some trouble, keeping it on the table maybe?, but once I got used to it, it was fine. And personally, I felt like drives were easy to hit and the speed came out more than I expected.

      Overall it's easy to use, and I thought it was a good blade.
      Sorry for sounding like I know it all

      It manages to bump up the specs while keeping that "can do anything" feel of the All-Round Evolution.
      It holds the ball really well, so on drives you get a stable arc without the ball dropping. Also, since the blade is thin and flexes, it's not quite like a hardwood blade, but you still get plenty of speed on a hard drive.
      That said, for flat hits, I think you'll feel like you're lacking speed unless you really hit it hard.

      On light shots the bounce is kept in check, so when you're a bit late in the short game and end up just blocking the ball back, you can still put a good cut on it even with a soft touch.

      Maa (Experience: 2〜3 years) The 5.5mm thickness creates flex and spin

      Player reviews

      Weight of the one I bought: 84g
      I think the specs are more than enough as a step up from the All-Round Evolution. When I checked the specs, I got the impression the VPS layer on the second ply might make it fly too much, but when I actually hit with it, the top sheet is on the softer side, so it doesn't fly too much and lets you swing all the way through — it has a really nice feel.
      Being a 5-ply blade, it comes through to your hand a bit.
      Also, being lightweight, backhand handling is smooth.
      At just 5.5mm, the blade is very thin, so you can really put spin on your drives, but thanks to the VPS you also get plenty of ball speed even on a flat hit.
      Pushes also stay low and cut well.
      As for blocking, you feel a bit of pushback, but it's easy to control, so the ball lands well on the opponent's side too.

      It works fine even with harder rubbers.
      I think it goes well with tension rubbers, and tacky rubber paired with a tension rubber on the other side works well too.

      That said, for players with a lot of arm strength, or for playing away from the table, the bounce might feel a bit lacking

      Why (Experience: 11〜20 years) The definition of all-wood

      Player reviews

      It bounces a bit more than the All-Round Evolution. Hit it normally and it feels like the All-Round Evolution. When you hit hard, maybe thanks to the VPS wood, it bounces quite a bit more. The feel is soft on light shots and comes through to your hand on hard shots. It suits close-to-the-table players, drive players, and choppers alike, but the surface veneer peels easily, so make sure to put a racket coat on it. Mine was a light one at 77g.
