It's soft with good flex, and it's really easy to put spin on.
Personally I felt that putting a harder rubber on it matched the blade better.
It's not a super bouncy blade, so if you want more speed, I think a bouncier rubber is the way to go.
I felt this racket suits people who want to put solid spin on their serves and drives, or who lean toward stability.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch

The carbon feel is really pleasant.
It flexes nicely so it's easy to put spin on too, and I felt it would pair well with Chinese rubber.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Despite being marketed with NCT, it doesn't bounce as much as the catalog specs suggest.
It's a soft, flexible 5-ply blade.
I switched from the Korbel (97g) to the Offensive Wood NCT (83g),
and the bounce got weaker.
But since it got lighter and softer, I think it pairs well with hard rubbers.
When I paired it with the soft Ventus Spin, the feel was mushy and I felt a huge loss of power.
(Like hitting a hardball with a rubber bat - the ball leaves the blade unusually slowly.)I'd recommend it for players close to the table who focus on spin.
It lacks power for mid- or far-from-the-table play, and if you're focused on hitting flat, I think there are better rackets out there.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch

Rakuza A stable racket

Thanks to the NCT, you really feel the impact of the ball in your hand.
Since it's easy to put spin on, the topspin drive is stable and you can hit it over and over.
That said, it's still a spin-oriented racket, so it might feel a bit lacking for adult players.
Even so, it's very stable, making it a really easy racket to use.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch

It's a soft blade, so it's a spin-oriented racket.
When I put good spin on my topspin drive, people told me it got harder to block.
It's a spin-oriented blade, but the speed is boosted too, so it's a well-rounded racket with high scores across the board.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch
