    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    This racket receives high praise as a cutting-specialist tool, with excellent cutting stability and spin performance being standout features. Its versatility to produce offensive power through proper rubber selection is widely appreciated, making it suitable for intermediate-advanced players while still accessible to beginners.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Superior cutting performance with easy spin generation and excellent stability
    • Soft hitting feel that effectively absorbs opponent's power
    • Sufficient offensive capability unlocked through proper rubber selection
    • Slightly larger blade requires adaptation but delivers high performance once mastered
    • Excellent compatibility with various rubbers and high versatility
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveCuts rise slowly to easily defend against speed drives, and doesn't pop up even with aggressive cuts. Attack shots have good extension and land in the opponent's court. This is the ideal racket for cutters who want to score with cutting.
    ▽ CriticalThe blade is larger than standard, making it difficult to swing through on backhand attacks, and there may be instability during the initial learning period.

      I like table tennis (Experience: 2〜3 years) Very good

      Player reviews

      Very good — the feel, the spin, attacking, chopping, all of it is top-notch
      It's easy to chop with and you can attack too, a blade I really recommend.

      Adhesive User (Experience: 6〜10 years) Pretty impressive

      Player reviews

      It doesn't bounce much, so chopping is easy. Since it's a soft plywood blade, it absorbs the opponent's power while you chop, so it feels incredibly reassuring. The grip is also really comfortable to hold — I think it's a great blade.

      Sygnuss (Experience: 6〜10 years) Balances offense and defense

      Player reviews

      The sweet spot is on the wider side, so chopping stays stable. There's also plenty of attacking power.
      The grip feels nice too, but since it's on the thin side, I think it's hard to handle for people with big hands.

      Up Down Service (Experience: 6〜10 years) An attacker who can also chop

      Player reviews

      Just like the title says, this blade also works as an attacking blade.
      Of course the chop rips hard too, and the ball gets seriously heavy.
      I thought it was an amazing blade that works with any rubber.
      ...is what my friend told me

      Muramatsu style cut man (Experience: 2〜3 years) The best chopper blade

      Player reviews

      I'm currently using this one. This blade lets me play at my best.
      First, you can press the chop down from above, so you can focus purely on cutting the ball. (It turns into a seriously ripping "death chop.") It's also easy to attack with — swing all the way through and you get a really good ball.
      It's a great blade. I'd recommend trying it at least once.
