Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary

The racket is highly evaluated for its hard carbon material, linear trajectory, and excellent speed performance. However, it is recognized as a high-level player's tool due to the early ball release and challenging handling characteristics. Racket performance is heavily influenced by rubber selection and swing technique.

■ Frequently Mentioned Points

Hard feel and superior speed from carbon material
Early ball release with linear trajectory for counter-attacking play
Pairing with soft spin rubbers is recommended
Serve and stop shots tend to float easily
Best suited for advanced players, not beginners

■ Representative Voices

▲ PositiveThe carbon material makes it very hard with early ball release, and pairing it with soft ball-retaining rubber creates good balance and becomes easy to handle. How you utilize this sharp-characterized racket is the key to success.

▽ CriticalThe hard feel and linear flight trajectory require time to adapt, making it unsuitable for beginners and intermediate players. This strongly individual-charactered racket requires careful judgment about compatibility with your playing style.

Beginner kid (Experience: ４〜５ years) For close-to-table fast attack

The feel is hard with a high-pitched sound on contact. On the other hand, the trajectory is flat but you get quite a bit of speed. Personally it feels like hitting the ball off metal - a clacky feel similar to Nittaku's Rutees Power. Also, since the trajectory is flat, I think it suits close-to-the-table attacking players well. For other playing styles, a spin-oriented tension rubber that gives more arc would probably be easier to use. Unless you're advanced, I'd recommend going with a softer hardness.
The ball comes off quick so you don't get a ton of spin, but since the blade isn't especially thick, if you have good swing speed you should be able to generate spin well.
Control isn't bad, but because the ball flies flat, I wasn't used to it and kept hitting the net. It's a blade that takes time to get used to.
Overall it's a blade with a lot of character, so if it matches your play style it can become a strong partner. Not suited for beginners or novices.

Amagishi (Experience: More than ２０ years) Hard! Flies!

Mine weighed 86.3g. The grip is on the slightly thin side.
It's inner carbon, but it's very stiff and the ball comes off fast. The trajectory is quite flat, but if you pair it with a soft, ball-holding rubber, it balances out and becomes easy to handle.
Pushes and stops tend to float up a bit, but once you've got the touch to control that, it's not a problem.
It's a blade with a very specific, sharp character, so the key is figuring out how to make the most of that.

Chabby (Experience: ６〜１０ years)

UD carbon. Apparently it's a vertically woven carbon. Since it's an inner-carbon blade, the feel isn't super hard either. Maybe there could be an interesting reaction if you paired it with a hard rubber too, though a soft, fast tension rubber is the classic choice.

Recently I feel bad (Experience: ２〜３ years) Bounces well! High-pitched sound

This blade has really great bounce, so I'd recommend Rakza 7 or other spin-oriented rubbers. I bought this as my second blade, and since I switched from a soft 5-ply to a hard carbon blade, it took a little while to get used to. Also, it lets you hit with a ton of power, so my topspin drives got noticeably faster. Blocking was easy too. The short game is easy to play as well, so I highly recommend it.

Crack (Experience: ２〜３ years)

Even with a tacky rubber on the forehand, it puts out plenty of speed, so I think it's a good racket. That said, since the ball comes off quickly, serving is a little tricky. I'd recommend a softer rubber for the backhand.
