    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly rated as Ma Long's signature model, this inner blade excels at combining excellent distance and spin performance. However, rubber selection and the player's skill level are critical factors, with many recommending sticky rubbers for advanced players.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Exceptional performance with sticky rubber combinations
    • Remarkable distance and spin despite inner material construction
    • Thin grip and end-heavy design enable precise control
    • Tension rubbers cause excessive speed and control difficulties
    • Advanced players only; challenging for intermediate levels
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveDespite soft touch, the ball bounces incredibly well and generates powerful drives with heavy spin when struck forcefully. Perfect compatibility with sticky rubber, excellent for close-range techniques, delivering world-class balanced performance in a versatile blade.
    ▽ CriticalExcessive speed causes net-out errors in match situations and difficult to control on short balls. Rapid ball release makes spin application difficult. Only elite players can truly harness this blade, making the high price questionable for most players.

      Taku (Experience: ４〜５ years) A fusion of speed and spin

      Player reviews

      I used a tacky tension rubber and it flies like crazy! I'd heard the Xiang Long naturally flies a lot, but it also gives surprisingly good spin. The trajectory is surprisingly flat and it stabs deep into the opponent's court. Since it's a hard rubber, it's also easy to mix up your pace. I think it works well whether you put it on solid wood or a special-material blade, though it might be too hard to suit an outer blade.

      Taku (Experience: ４〜５ years) Retested with different rubber

      Player reviews

      I tried tension rubber on both sides. My impression: it flies too much. The backhand is fine, but on the forehand it really flies — it feels like the ball goes even without putting in effort. I put on max thickness, but thick would have been plenty. As for spin, it might actually hold the ball better than you'd expect given how much it flies. Other than being a bit much for control and the short game, I think it's good. Next I want to try a tacky tension rubber.

      Taku (Experience: ４〜５ years) Good blade

      Player reviews

      The performance justifies the price — it's an inner blade but it bounces a ton. I've got Hurricane on it and it bounces enough to cause overshoot misses!
      If you put tension rubber on it, control gets really hard — Hurricane is just about right for it!
      Maybe I'll make this my main blade lol. The backhand seems like it'd work better paired with a slightly softer tension rubber!

      Forehand: National Hurricane Neo3 Blue sponge,

      Forehand hitting
      It bounces... it's soft but it bounces... so then what about the drive...?
      Drive
      !!! Whoa! It draws a distinctive arc
      and stabs right into the opponent's court! Feels amazing!
      Loop drive
      Hm? If you mishit it, you get a pretty bad ball...
      Push: it really rips with spin.
      Meet shots in general
      ...hard to hit... hitting down from above works, but yeah, it's just not suited for it.
      Still, I'm glad I bought it.

      Pin-chan (Experience: More than ２０ years) Blade for advanced players

      Player reviews

      This is the blade I'm currently using. Speed is beyond complaint, and since it's an inner special-material blade, spin bites really well too. On light taps there's no weird feeling at all and it's easy to control, but when you hit hard, or block an opponent's hard hit, the bounce is strong and blocking really requires some technique.
      I feel like this is best suited to advanced players who can control that bounce.
      Of course it also pairs well with Chinese rubbers, so if you feel it bounces too much, it might be worth trying a Chinese rubber.

      Great spin and good speed on top of that. It pairs excellently with tacky rubber. Personally I'd recommend Hurricane for it.

      Alexandra (Experience: ６〜１０ years) As expected from Ma Long's blade

      Player reviews

      It's a shame it's not JTTA-approved, but among inner blades this one bounces way more than the rest.
      I used to use a Butterfly outer ALC, and the feel on this one is softer than that.
      The FL grip is pretty thin.
