  Why (Experience: １１〜２０ years) 78g Slim Street limited edition

  

  I'd recommend a harder rubber on the forehand and a softer one on the backhand. The build feels substantial and premium — almost good enough to want to display in a room.
  Since it's a 5-ply wood blade, it doesn't bounce all that much. It's somewhere between the Allround Evolution and the Clipper.
  The ball sits on the blade well and spin comes on well too. The arc rises reasonably too, though it doesn't reach the level of the Intensity. With the switch to plastic balls, its distinctive character feels a bit diluted. If you've fallen for its looks, definitely give it a try.

  フォア固め、バック柔らかめのラバーがオススメです。作りは重厚で高級感ありで部屋に飾っておきたいくらいです。
  木材5枚ですのでそんなに跳ねません。オルエボとクリッパーの間くらいです。
  球持ちは良く回転掛かります。弧線もそこそこ上がります。ただインテンシティには及びません。プラスチックボールになって特徴が薄れてる感じがします。見た目に惚れた方は是非使って下さい。

  Udon (Experience: ２〜３ years) Pairs well with tacky rubber

  

  The first thing I noticed hitting with it was the feel. It makes a nice sound. Spin comes on well too. It really suits tacky rubber. I've got tacky rubber on the forehand, and when I drive the ball, I can put a lot of spin on it and the ball really extends. It's a 5-ply blade, but it bounces quite a lot. Maybe because of that, the short game is a bit harder to do. Backhand drives go in a lot more easily than before, too. Tension rubbers really suit the backhand — I'd guess Tenergy would be an amazing match for it.

  打ってみて思ったのはまず打球感かな。いい音しますね。そして回転もよくかかります。やっぱり粘着に合いますね。フォアに粘着貼っているのですが、ドライブ打ったときとかかなり回転かけれますし、球が伸びますね。5枚合版なのですがかなり跳ねますね。そのせいか台上は少しやりにくいですね。バックドライブも前に比べれば大分入りやすくなりました。バックにはやっぱりテンション系が合いますね。恐らくテナジーがめちゃくちゃ合うかと。

  Chinese rubber use (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Hard feel, but pairs great with tacky rubber

  

  It's quite hard but also has good bounce, and if you have some power, I think you can handle a tacky rubber on the forehand with this. I'd recommend it for high schoolers or powerful junior-high players too.

  かなり硬いが弾みも良く力があれば粘着ラバーをフォア面に使っても扱えると思います。高校生やパワフルな中学生でもオススメです。

  Compared to special-material blades, it doesn't feel all that fast, but for a 5-ply blade it's on the bouncier side.
  The surface uses ebony, a hard wood, and you can feel that a little in the shot, but the ebony layer is as thin as paper, so I don't think it's anything to worry about.
  What's good about this blade is that, compared to special-material blades, it's very easy to use and feels like it has no real weak points.
  You can drop back and trade topspin rallies, but it's also very easy to play a fast-paced game close to the table, which makes it easy to understand why Chinese players tend to favor STIGA. Difficult plays like countering close to the table are also relatively easy to pull off.
  The flex is on the low side, but spin still comes through solidly, and drives, smashes, blocks, and pushes are all very easy to execute.
  I've mainly used special-material blades, but this one reminded me all over again what's good about a 5-ply wooden blade.

  特殊素材のラケットと比較すると、それほどのスピード感はありませんが、5枚合板としては弾む部類です。
  表面が黒檀と硬い木を使っており、打球感も少しそれを感じますが、黒檀は紙のように非常に薄いので気にする必要はないと思っています。
  ラケットのいいところは、特殊素材のラケットと比較し非常に使いやすく、弱点のないラケットに感じます。
  下がって引き合いもできますが、前でピッチの早いプレーが非常にやりやすく、中国選手とかがスティガを好むのも理解できます。前でカウンターとか難しいプレーも比較的やりやすいです。
  しなりは少な目なものの、回転はしっかりかかり、ドライブ、スマッシュ、ブロック、ツッツキなどどれも非常にやりやすいです。
  特殊素材のラケット中心に使ってきましたが、あらためて木材5枚合板の良さを教えてくれたラケットです。

  The bounce is on the higher side among 5-ply blades.

  That said, it's not so bouncy that it's hard to handle — it's a moderate, manageable bounce. I'd say it's about the same as a typical 7-ply blade.
  At first I was a little worried about control, but this blade turned out to be easy to handle too.

  And of course, since the top ply is hard, it's easy to put spin on the ball.
  Serves in particular had a lot of spin.

  I also thought it would suit short pips, half-long pips, and long pips rubbers well.
  The ball leaves the blade faster, giving you more variation, and with short pips you should be able to play an even faster attacking game.
  With long pips it might bounce a bit too much, but that also increases the pips' variation, so it's good for people who want more variation even with a bit of extra bounce.

  Of course, it also suits tension rubbers and tacky rubbers.

  However, control-type rubbers don't really suit it.

  And it looks great too.

  I think this is a great blade for drive players who want both power and stability, and for short-pips, half-long-pips, and long-pips users who want fast ball release and variation.
  It's a bit pricey, but I think it's a really good blade.

  Please give it a try.

  弾みは5枚合板の中では高い方です。

  が、決して扱いづらいような弾みではなく、適度に弾むくらいのものです。一般的な7枚合板と同じくらいだと思います。
  私は最初、コントロールに関して少し懸念していましたが、扱い易さも兼ね備えているラケットでした。

  そしてやはり、上板が硬いので回転はかけやすいですね〜。
  サーブなんかは相当かかりました。

  また、表ソフトや半粒、粒高にも合うようなラバーだと思いました。
  球離れが速くなり、変化が増えたり、表ソフトはより速攻ができるようになると思います。
  粒高では少し弾みすぎるかもしれませんが、その分粒の変化はアップするので、少し弾んでも変化が欲しいという人にはいいと思います。

  勿論、テンションラバーや粘着ラバーにも合います。

  ただ、コントロールラバーなどのラバーは合いません。

  そして見た目も良いラケットですよね〜。

  威力と安定性を両立したいドライブマンや、球離れの速さや変化を求める表、半粒、粒高ユーザーにはオススメのラケットだと思います。
  少し値は張りますが、すごく良いラケットだと思います。

  是非使ってみてください。

  AUMA (Experience: Less than a year) It's a good racket~

  

  Forehand: Hurricane NEO3, max thickness
  Backhand: Stiff, thick
  Grip: Flare grip

  I'd like to review this by comparing it to the Infinity VSP V I was using before.

  First, weight — with the rubbers above it came to 185g.
  The grip is a bit thick and wide.
  The shape was similar to the flare grip on the SWAT.
  Compared to the Infinity, the feel is harder, and it doesn't bounce as much on soft shots.
  The blade is on the thinner side and flexes, so I felt it was easy to brush the ball for spin.
  On hard shots you get plenty of spin and speed, but
  the Infinity's topspin drive really flies more.

  Also, it doesn't bounce that much in the short game, so stops and pushes are easy to do too.

  フォア面はキョウヒョウNEO3　特厚
  バック面はスティフ　厚
  グリップはフレアグリップです

  以前使ってたインフィニティVSP Vと比較しながらレビューしたいと思います。

  まず重さですが上記のラバーを貼って185gになりました。
  グリップはやや太めで横幅が広いです。
  スワットのフレアと同じような形状でした。
  インフィニティと比べ打球感は硬く軽打ではやや弾まないです
  ブレードが薄めでしなるので擦り打ちがやり易いと感じました
  強打では回転もかかりスピードも出ますが、
  インフィニティの方がドライブが走ります

  また台上ではそこまで弾まないのでストップやツッツキもやり易いと思います。

  Potato-kun. (Experience: １１〜２０ years) The premium feel is the best!

  

  It has a real premium feel, which is great.
  The feel is hard, of course, but the sound is nice too, and personally I prefer a harder feel.
  Control isn't as bad as I expected either, though that probably depends on which rubber you pair it with.
  The performance is good, so I'd recommend it to intermediate players and above.
  That said, it's on the heavy side for a Chinese penhold, so you might need some arm strength.

  高級感が、とてもいいです。
  打球感は、もちろん硬いですが、音もいいし、個人的には硬い方が好きです。
  コントロールも、思ったより悪くないので、この辺は、ラバーとの相性になるでしょう。
  性能もいいので、中級者以上なら、オススメできます。
  ただ、中ペンには重いので、筋力は必要かもしれません。
