    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    The racket is highly praised for its outstanding bounce and speed performance, while the high price and difficulty in handling lead to a strong perception that it is for advanced players. With careful rubber selection and control adjustments, it is supported as an excellent choice for aggressive playing styles.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Outstanding bounce and repulsion creates powerful drives
    • Excellent speed ball performance to overwhelm opponents
    • Top-level performance among 10mm single-ply blades
    • High price but worth the investment
    • Requires advanced skills and control adjustments
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveRanked at the highest position in the Cypress line with unmatched bounce among 10mm single-ply blades. When combined with tension-type rubber for aggressive play, it becomes a significant threat to opponents.
    ▽ CriticalWhile the bounce is exceptional and speed is generated, controllability is challenging. Its usability tends to be significantly influenced by rubber selection.

      DONG 7 (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Fast!

      Player reviews

      Someone in my club uses this, and out of all the penhold blades I know, it's up there as one of the one or two fastest. The topspin drives are really intense and hard to handle. The speed becomes a huge weapon, so I'd recommend it for advanced players.

      The Battle of Minoshima! Overwhelming power.

      Player reviews

      I was shocked at how much the price jumped, but that said, you can really feel the overwhelming bounce when you hit with it.

      The speed on your shots is insane, so I'd recommend it if you want to put your opponent away in one shot, or break them down with short game and pushes.

      Of course, to really bring out its true potential, you'll want to pair it with a high-end rubber!

      Masaya0909 Overwhelming power.

      Player reviews

      This ranks at the very top among cypress blades.

      In fact, I'd say its bounce stands out even among 10mm single-ply blades.

      The spin potential is excellent too — if you pair it with tension rubber and play aggressively, you'll be a serious threat to your opponent.

      Pre (Experience: ４〜５ years) The rebound is amazing

      Player reviews

      Yeah, the rebound really is amazing and it gives great speed, but I felt it was hard to control — not sure if it's just that it doesn't suit the Bryce High Speed rubber, but it's made me want to try switching rubbers again sometime. You can put spin on it just fine too.

      Beginner cutman (Experience: Less than a year) Yoo Seung-min's successor blade

      Player reviews

      I'd recommend this to anyone who drives using footwork like Ryu Seung-min.
      I'd really like people who were stuck after the Ryu Seung-min G-MAX got discontinued to try this one.
      That said, you need to be prepared before buying it. The price is, well, kind of a lot...
      Still, it's worth trying at least once, so I felt like every "samurai" penhold looper out there should pick it up and give it a try.
      (This blade is for advanced players.)

      TH (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Ryu Seung-min G-MAX

      Player reviews

      This is my impression from trying it out at the shop when a friend went to buy one, plus my friend's own opinion — it's basically the Ryu Seung-min G-MAX with a new design, as you can probably tell from the name... The rubber was whatever my friend uses.
      Being a 10mm single-ply blade, it still flies like crazy, and being on the soft side, it's still a bit hard to control in the short game, just like the original.
      For Japanese penhold players, a blade that lets you play this kind of power game really is the way to go.
