      Front-end haste (Experience: 4〜5 years) Reassuring even for chopping beginners!

      Player reviews

      I used this when I suddenly had to play doubles in a team match at the prefectural tournament. I normally use a bouncy racket suited to a fast-attack style, but since my previous partner was a chopper, I picked this racket to try to match that style a bit. So please keep in mind my perspective is that of a chopping beginner.
      First of all, it just doesn't bounce at all. Even with max-thickness Hurricane Turbo rubber, it barely bounces. However, it can handle the short game scarily well. Also, when I chop from farther back, the cut is razor sharp — the backspin is strong enough that the ball almost comes back on its own. I'd really recommend this to players who play close-to-the-table all-round attack/defense, chop style, or all-round style.

      First off, the looks are great.
      The grip has no lens/emblem, and no racket name printed on it. It's a simple, single shade of red.
      The blade is as big as a uchiwa fan, but it has a well-balanced shape, so it doesn't feel misshapen at all, and it has the atmosphere of a vintage chopper's blade.

      In terms of function, among chopping blades, I think it leans a bit toward the defensive side. With the right rubber you can adjust it to attack plenty well, but I think it's basically suited to someone who prioritizes defense.

      The performance isn't especially sharp or extreme in any one direction, so if anything, I think it grows on you more the longer you use it.

      Switch (Experience: 11〜20 years) A revival of the old Euro Chopper racket

      Player reviews

      I bought this as a backup for my discontinued Euro Chopper. The blade is a bit smaller on the grip side, and the grip itself is a bit longer and bigger — with this blade, the stability on chops is wonderful, and it's a great blade for playing the old-school, defense-first style.
      It sounds like once they run out of the veneer, they won't be able to make it anymore, and there aren't many large-blade rackets out there, so for players who defend with chops, I don't think you'd go wrong picking one up sooner rather than later.
