It's got some thickness to it, but it's light and feels great to hit with.
Maybe it's a good match with Raygun or Fly Attack Soft, but the ball flies in a straight line with good speed.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard

The feel when you hit the ball is great. I'd recommend pairing it with a rubber that isn't too hard (personally I don't mind either way, but especially while you're still getting used to it). I'd recommend this for beginners up to upper-intermediate players.

Getting back into table tennis after about 25 years.
Back when I was active, I used a blade I jumped on right after arylate carbon blades first came out.
My rating here is somewhat low compared to that, but the price back then was more than double this one, so it's probably on me for expecting similar performance.
The sweet spot is narrow, so depending on where you hit it, the ball either jumps or doesn't, which makes it fairly tricky to use.
That said, when you catch the sweet spot and swing through properly, the shot is fantastic — considering the price, I'd say it offers great value for money if you're playing at a city-top to prefecture-mid level.
It pairs well with rubbers, and the spin on serves and drives is plenty good. As mentioned, if you catch the sweet spot, you get that satisfying carbon-blade speed.
The feel also comes through clearly when you hit the sweet spot.
When that happens you can control the ball exactly as intended, but miss it slightly and it gets wild.
It's cheap, but since it demands fairly delicate touch, I wouldn't recommend it to true beginners.
Also, if you're aiming for prefecture-top or national level, you should probably use a high-end carbon blade from one of the major brands priced above 10,000 yen.
But for players who don't want to spend that much on a hobby yet still want carbon-level speed and spin, I think this blade is a perfect fit.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I borrowed this from a friend, and maybe because it's a 5-ply all-wood blade, it was super hard. It bounces like crazy.
Personally I don't like bouncy blades, but I think it's perfect for people who like a lot of bounce.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard

I bought this as my first carbon blade, and it had more bounce and stiffness than I expected — a good kind of surprise.
The feel when hitting is like an inner-carbon blade, and it reminded me of the Fire Fall VC.
The grip felt a bit on the thin side. If you're confident, a harder rubber is fine, but I'd recommend a medium-hardness or softer rubber.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I bought this blade and once I hit with it, the feel was really nice!
It has a wood edge guard on the sides, so bumping it against the table doesn't affect it much,
and it's easy to get spin and speed, so I'd recommend it to beginners through intermediate players!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft

Given the weight, I figured it wouldn't bounce much, but when I actually used it, it bounced more than expected — matches the blade's spec sheet pretty well.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard
