  Table tennis is a pen, and a pen is a veneer! (Experience: １１〜２０ years) The second act of my single-ply life

  

  For 18 years I've been loyal to Cypress and Kimtechs, and aside from Butterfly single-ply blades, I've barely used anything else, even in official matches. I did use the Darker Speed 90 for about 4 months, just one blade, but the Butterfly single-ply suited me better.
  This time, out of pure curiosity about the thickness alone - 10.5mm - I tried a VICTAS product, a brand and even a single-ply blade I had zero interest in before.
  I was blown away. This is fantastic. Comparing it to the 10mm Cypress, honestly the Butterfly product has the edge in that classic single-ply feel, but VICTAS is clearly ahead in terms of the grain, the texture of the hinoki wood, and the grip feel before it's been shaped. Because the plies are thicker, the bounce and the way the ball comes off the blade are distinctive and take some getting used to, but you can cover for it and get past it with practice. Blocks in particular bounce too much, so you need practice time for that. It's also on the heavier side, in the heavyweight category.
  But strangely, "this feeling gets addictive, lol."
  It's only 0.5mm different from the blade I was used to, but it's completely different!! For me, this 0.5mm difference opened up the second chapter of my single-ply-only table tennis life!
  This is the best blade.

  １８年間、サイプレスとキムテクスを愛用しておりバタフライの単板以外は公式戦含め、ほとんど使用する事はありませんでした。ダーカーのスピード９０は４か月程度は１本だけ使いましたが自分にはバタフライ単板の方が良かったです。
  今回、全く興味のないVICTAS製品、ましてや単板ラケットを１０．５ミリと言う厚さだけの興味本位で使用。
  参りました。これは素晴らしいです。サイプレス１０ミリと比較すると、正直な感想として打球感としての単板らしさはバタフライ製品が上ですが、木目や檜の質感、削る前のグリップ感覚はVICTASの方が完全に上ですね。打球感は板厚がある分、やはり弾みや飛び出しは独特で慣れが必要ですが、練習次第でカバー・克服できます。特にブロックは弾み過ぎるため練習量が必要ですね。また重量もヘビー級の重めです。
  しかし、不思議なのが『この感覚、癖になりますｗｗｗ』
  慣れ親しんだラケットより０．５ミリ違うんですが、これが全然違う！！私には、この０．５ミリの違いが単板一筋人生の第二幕へと導いてくれました！
  最高のラケットです。

  TAs (Experience: ６〜１０ years) The effect of a reverse-side rubber

  

  The Dynam 10.5 is made for one-sided Japanese-style penhold use. Single-ply thick blades are only sold for one-sided use. Since using rubber on both sides has become the norm these days, I peeled off part of the black coating and cork on the back and put rubber on both sides.
  The one I bought happened to weigh 91g, so total weight came to 172g. That's a bit heavy for a penhold grip, but once I got used to it, it stopped bothering me. I did quite a bit of shaping on the grip to make it easier to hold. You need to work out how to angle the blade face to hit backhand shots on the reverse side. I've become able to score points with powerful backhand topspin drives. It pairs well with Dignics 09C. Since 09C is a light-tack rubber without that much bounce, I couldn't get speed out of it with other blades, but thanks to the power of the DYNAM 10.5, I feel like the balance between speed and spin is really good. I've tried more than 20 blades and over 20 rubber combinations so far, and the DYNAM 10.5 with Dignics 09C is the best combination for now. I plan to stick with this combination for a while.

  DYNAM10.5は日ペン片面使用で作成されている。単板で厚板のラケットは片面使用しか販売されていない。昨今両面を使用することが主流なので、このラケットの裏面の黒塗装とコルクの一部を剥がして両面にラバーを貼って使用している。購入したラケットはたまたま91グラムであったので、総重量は172グラムとなった。ペン使いではやや重いが、慣れてくれば気にならなくなった。グリップ部は握りやすくするためにかなり加工を加えた。裏面でバックを打つ時の面の角度を出しやすくする工夫が必要。バックでの強烈なドライブでポイントを取れるようになった。ディグニクス09Cとの相性は良い。09Cは微粘着で飛びはあまり強くないので、他のラケットではスピードが出せなかったが、DYNAM10.5の威力の効果でスピードと回転のバランスが良いと感じている。これまで20本以上のラケットと20種類以上のラバーの組み合わせを試してきたが、DYNAM10.5とディグニクス09Cの組み合わせが今の所ベスト。当分この組み合わせで続ける予定である。

  T. AMAKAWA (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Thickness, mass, and shot speed

  

  I've been chasing both spin and hitting speed at the same time, and I've landed on satisfying results with the Dynam 10.5. Compared to 10mm, the 10.5mm version has about a 15% higher coefficient of restitution. I'm happy with that result. The catalog lists an average mass of 100g +/-, and in theory the tighter the grain pitch - meaning the denser the material - the heavier the overall mass should be, but the one I bought weighed 91g. The grain pitch is quite tight, holding up well even against the Cypress G-MAX. A G-MAX 10mm I bought separately weighed 100g. The Dynam 10.5 has a higher coefficient of restitution and a greater sense of speed. It seems there are Dynam 10.5 units out there weighing 110g, so you should expect roughly +/-10% variation. Whether a heavier unit also means a higher coefficient of restitution is unclear. Since you can't specify weight when buying online, that might be a concern, but I think the 10.5mm thickness delivers its effect fully regardless. Any excess bounce from the blade can be compensated for with spin from the rubber. The Dynam 10.5 is meant for one-sided use, but I stripped the back and put rubber on it too. Total weight is 168g.

  回転と同時に打球時のスピードを追求してきたが、ダイナム10.5にたどり着いて満足な結果を得ている。10mmと比べ10.5mmでは反発係数が15%ほど高くなる。この結果には満足している。平均質量100g+-とカタログでは表記しているが、材料の密度、すなわち木目のピッチが狭いほど密度は大きくなり、全体質量は重めになるはずであるが、購入したものは91gであった。木目のピッチはサイプレスG-MAXと比較しても遜色なくかなり狭い。別に購入したG-MAX10mmは100gであった。反撥係数はダイナム10.5の方が大きく、スピード感も上回る。ダイナム10.5で質量110gのものもあるようで、+-10%程度のばらつきがあると理解すべきであろう。質量の大きいものが反発係数が大きいかどうかは不明である。ネット購入では質量の指定ができないので、不安があるかと思われるが、厚さの10.5mmの効果は十分発揮できていると思う。ブレードの飛び過ぎはラバーの回転でカバーできる。ダイナム10.5は片面で使用するものであるが、裏面を剥がしてラバーを貼った。総質量は168gである。

  Know the cypress (Experience: １１〜２０ years) A single-ply is a living thing

  

  I think this is the finest quality single-ply penhold blade currently sold in Japan. It's gone through name changes - Dyna Beat, Special Dynam, Dynam 10.5 - but the quality has genuinely been great throughout.
  If I recall correctly, the original Dyna Beat was designed and developed with the involvement of Seiji Ono, and it's now a rare, almost legendary blade, but the thickness has always been the same 10.5mm. From what I've heard, demand is actually higher in Korea than in Japan, and most of the sales come from there.
  It's a shame, but even though this is a Japanese-style penhold blade, the reality is that more of them sell in Korea and there are more Japanese-style penhold users there. In Korea, thick, heavy single-ply blades are preferred and considered premium, which is probably why the Dynam is more popular there than single-ply blades from other makers.
  In fact, a Korean friend of mine also uses the Dyna Beat and Special Dynam.
  I love using mine too - a single-ply blade has this special wood-like quality where each one feels like "a different racket, almost a living thing," which somehow makes you put your heart and soul into it, and you end up incredibly attached to it. It's almost endearing.
  So please, everyone, remember that every blade has its own personality, and use it with the mindset of drawing out "that particular one's strengths" and treating it with care!
  It's sure to become a real partner for you!

  現在で国内に販売、存在する単板ペンラケットでは、一番極上の品質と思います。ダイナビート、スペシャルダイナム、ダイナム10.5と名前を変えましたが質は本当に全て良いです。
  確か初代ダイナビートは小野誠治さんが設計や開発に携わり作成された今では幻化した貴重ラケットですが、板厚は全て同じ10.5です。どちらかと言うと、日本より韓国で需要が高く販売シェアは韓国が多く売れると聞いてます。
  残念ながら日本式ペンなのに韓国の方が日本式ペンが売れ、日本式ペンユーザーが多いと言う現実があります。韓国では厚く重い単板が好まれ優良品と位置付けされるんでダイナムは他メーカーの単板より人気なんでしょうね。
  実際に知り合い韓国人もダイナビート、スペシャルダイナムの使い手です。
  私も気に入って使ってますが、単板はなんとも『一つ一つが違うラケット＝生き物』のような特別な木の感覚なので妙に魂や気持ちが入り、とてつもない愛着が付きます。かわいい感じすらします。
  どうか皆さんも、ラケットは一つ一つ違う顔を持ってますので『その子の良さ』を引き出してあげる使い方と、大切に扱う気持ちで使ってください！
  必ず相棒になりますよ！

  JULI THU22 (Experience: ６〜１０ years) For single-ply, it's about grain and "weight"

  

  This is the Dynam 10.5 and its predecessor, the Special Dynam 10.5 - here are my impressions as someone who uses the Dyna Beat.
  First, as other reviewers have mentioned, the Dyna Beat and the Dynam can basically be considered the same. Honestly, I feel the hinoki quality is a bit better on the Dyna Beat. I'd guess that's because the Dyna Beat was the first in this series, so maybe there was extra care and passion put into selecting the hinoki and building the blade - that's just my own theory. My reasoning: the grain, which matters so much for a single-ply blade, is beautifully even across all three - the Dynam, Special Dynam, and Dyna Beat.
  The key point, though, is "weight." The Dynam seems to have a bit more variation in weight, while the Dyna Beat tends to run on the heavier side. For single-ply blades, weight can make a huge difference in feel and bounce, so personally I put a lot of importance on weight when choosing. I haven't actually hit with the current Dynam, but I'm commenting because I believe it's essentially the same.
  Overall, VICTAS single-ply blades tend to have beautiful grain and good quality. It suits me, so I've been using it for years, and it's a blade I want to keep using going forward.

  このダイナム10.5と前回までのスペシャルダイナム10.5となる前身ラケットですが、ダイナビート使用としての感想です。
  まずは他の方のコメントにもありましたが、ダイナビートとダイナムはほぼ同じと言って良いです。正直、ダイナビートの方が檜の質は良い感じがします。おそらく、このシリーズの最初がダイナビートだった事から、厳選した檜選びやラケット作成に対しての強い思い入れ？があったのではないかな。と勝手に思ってます。理由としては、ダイナム、スペシャルダイナムとダイナビートは３種類それこそ単板に重要となる杢目はとても綺麗な目です。
  しかし、ポイントは『重量』ダイナムは少し重さにややバラつきを感じますが、ダイナビートは重めの個体が多い印象です。単板は重量次第で打球感や反発力に大きな違いが出やすいブレードですから、個人的には重量に選ぶ際の重要度を置きます。現在のダイナムは打った事ないのですが、ほぼ同じだと思いますのでコメントしました。
  総体的にVICTASの単板は綺麗な杢目が多く、質も良好で、自分にはフィットしている事から数年前から愛用しており、今後も継続して使って行きたいラケットである。という感想です。

  Korean wave pendora Really great!

  

  Because the plies are thick, this is a heavy blade. It also has strong bounce, so blocks and short-game shots sometimes don't stay on the table well, but in the hands of a skilled single-ply player or a penhold looper using one side, it becomes a truly formidable weapon. The sound off the blade is great too, and the crisp, refreshing hitting feel that's so characteristic of single-ply wood is unbeatable. In today's shakehand-dominated era, even among penholders where the Chinese-style grip is now the mainstream, I think this blade lets you fully enjoy everything unique to one-sided penhold looping - the power, the one-shot punch, and that distinctive ball quality only a penhold blade can give.
  Personally, I prefer it over single-ply blades from Cypress, Nittaku, and Darker.
  I want to keep showing what one-sided penhold looping can be, together with this blade.

  板厚があるため重いラケットです。また弾みも強くブロックや台上処理が上手く収まらない事もありますが、技術力が高い単板使い手や片面ペンドラが使いこなしたら相当な武器となる極上のラケットです。打球音も良く、いかにも単板らしい爽快な打ち心地はこの上ない感覚です。シェーク主流の今の時代、ペンホルダーも中ペン主流の昨今、片面ペンドラとしての楽しみや面白さ、方ペンならではのボールの威力や一発の強さとボールの独特の質など、このラケットでは存分に味わえると思います。
  個人的にはサイプレスやニッタク、ダーカーの単板よりも好みですね。
  今後も片面ペンドラとしての存在を、このラケットと共に示して行きたいですね。
