    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    An advanced-level racket that delivers unique power when mastered, though it requires high technical skill. Praised for its exceptional weight-driven power and spin performance, but rubber selection and adaptation period are key challenges.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Ultra-heavy weight (~110g) provides overwhelming power and stability
    • Rubber selection is crucial; hardness adjustment significantly changes performance
    • Selective for users but unleashes distinctive power once adapted
    • Distinctive blade shape requires customization in some cases
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe hard wood material with thin blade prevents weight from feeling cumbersome. When swept brushing strokes are used, exceptional spin is generated with characteristic knuckleballs. Speed drives deliver overwhelming power.
    ▽ CriticalMakes normal table tennis impossible due to its strong individual characteristics, making it difficult for beginners without established fundamental techniques to handle effectively.

      It's heavy.

      Because of the weight, the block stability is really something to note.
      Whether forehand or backhand, if you just get the racket on the ball, it comes back.

      Meeting the ball is definitely easy.
      Rather than a quick angled tap, it feels more like you lay the ball on the racket and drive it through with the racket's own weight.

      As a test, I put Spectol 21 on it, but that was a miss.
      Even hitting hard, there's no flex and the blade doesn't give at all, so the image is that only the rubber gets squeezed hard.
      The ball reaches the wood right away, and it sinks in so much that, despite being a Spectol, no knuckle effect came out.
      In exchange, there was good stability, but...

      With short pips, you probably need a harder one for any real variation to come through.

      If anything, even a variation-type short pips gains more stability on this and feels like a blade you could just keep hammering away with... though I guess that's the whole point of this blade in the first place (lol).

      Sompong (Experience: 6〜10 years) Not exactly easy to use

      Player reviews

      I got this as a gift, but my first impression was that it didn't bounce and was hard to use. I left it sitting for a while. I changed the Hurricane Neo3 hardness from 39 to 41, and when I finally hit with it again after a while, it turned into a completely different blade. The speed picked up decently, and the spin on drives and chops is seriously nasty. I can also produce knuckle balls with great precision. I'm still clearly lacking in practice, but the consistency on chops feels a bit weaker compared to other dedicated chopping blades. That said, whatever you do, the ball comes out with some quirky spin, so rallies don't tend to go on too long. If your desire to win outweighs having fewer practice partners, why not give it a try?

      PLATE (Experience: 6〜10 years) Win points with spin and speed variation

      Player reviews

      As everyone already knows, it's pretty heavy. It's a hard wood, but since the plies are thin it doesn't feel as hard as you'd expect.
      The blade also feels a bit bigger than a typical attacking blade.
      I was looking for a blade that matches well with Hurricane Turbo Blue, and I finally found what might be the best match. If you graze the ball, you get a ton of spin and some tricky, unpredictable shots. Hitting a fast drive that really bites into the rubber takes a good amount of impact, but when you land it, the power is incredible.
      For the backhand side, I'd recommend short pips or a fast tension rubber. Since the blade itself is quite heavy, if you go lighter and spin-oriented on the forehand, you can create a really noticeable difference in spin between the two sides.
      It's fairly expensive, so I'd recommend it to people who can afford it and who already have solid technique - especially those who feel their current blade is too light.

      Player reviews

      Using this racket, your shots naturally develop a distinct character.

      As long as you make contact with the ball, it pretty much lands in the opponent's court, and you can play an annoying, tricky style of table tennis.

      That said, you can't really play "normal" table tennis with it, so you need to go in prepared for that.

      Kimono (Experience: 6〜10 years) This is a blade I love the most.

      Player reviews

      This is the Kongou, for players using unorthodox rubber combos.

      The weight is a hefty 112g, but since I was planning to put Donacle on the backhand, that wasn't an issue.

      That said, there are a few things I want to flag for anyone considering buying this.

      1. The blade's throat sticks out
      As it is, it feels really awkward, so I'd recommend shaving down the middle-finger side to make it easier to hold.
      Though I'd love to ask Sakuma-sensei if there was some intention behind that design.

      2. Go with a softer rubber
      I first put on a Mokusei 2BS 39-degree, and it was an unruly beast I couldn't control at all, but when I switched to a Mokusei 2BS 36-degree, it turned into an amazing racket with a really pleasant feel that was easy to control.
      I'd recommend going with a softer rubber.

      Technically speaking, there's nothing it can't do.
      It handles every technique better than average.

      Something strange happens that only the people who actually use it will understand.

      Too Unique hitting feel

      Player reviews

      I couldn't settle on a rubber for a long time and tried all sorts.
      If you put a soft rubber on the backhand, forehand light taps make a hollow popping sound.
      Just touching the ball doesn't send it anywhere, but hitting hard sends out a heavy shot - there didn't seem to be any middle ground.
      Because of that, if you keep the blade flat your pushes really bite, and thanks to the flex you can expect powerful topspin drives too.

      It's an expensive racket that's picky about rubber, but
      if you're interested, I think it's worth trying.

      I used to use the SK7, and this easily surpasses even a slightly heavier SK7. It's for powerful, male players.
