      Tools Stray (Experience: １１〜２０ years) Easy-to-use 5-ply

      Player reviews

      A lightweight, soft 5-ply blade. The bounce is about on par with the All-Round Evolution.
      If you want that Al Evo-level bounce with some flex, this would suit you well.

      Back and back (Experience: ２〜３ years) Goes well with any rubber

      Player reviews

      This is a great blade. Honestly the best (maybe that's an exaggeration though)
      I put on Rakza 7 and Rakza 7 Soft since I wanted spin, and sure enough I get spin, but the speed is solid too lol
      Control is spot on, but attacking from mid-distance is tough. So it's for people who want to play a stable game close to the table. From what I've experienced using it, I'd say it's suited for intermediate players.

      HANG (Experience: ４〜５ years) Easy to use!... but a bit quirky

      Player reviews

      Pros: It's just really easy to put spin on the ball. The ball-holding feel is outstanding - the ball sinks into the sponge for a moment before releasing. It flexes nicely, so topspin drives grab really well. The bounce is on the subdued side, which makes stops and short blocks easy to control.

      Cons: Since there's not much bounce, smashing is hard. The sweet spot is on the small side, and getting your racket angle right is surprisingly demanding. It requires skill and concentration.

      Also, the feel is a bit unique compared to other 5-ply blades, so I think this is a racket that will really split opinion.

      Novice little boy (Experience: ４〜５ years) Good balance

      Player reviews

      Performance-wise, it's basically a typical all-round racket with a bit of extra bounce added on. There's no technique in particular that it struggles with, and it's lightweight and handles nicely.
      I think this would suit anyone using an all-round racket who wants just a little more speed.
      Personally, since the plies are thin, topspin drives were the easiest technique for me. The feel is on the slightly hard side, and I found the balance improved if you use a softer sponge at thick or above. I'd say this racket suits a playing style mixing in small techniques close to the table more than a power/speed drive-oriented style. If you're more of an attacking player, you'd probably be better off with something like the Nostalgic Offensive or the VII.

      It's an all-round racket, but compared to something like the Al Evo, it bounces plenty well. It doesn't quite reach offensive-racket territory, but with a tension rubber on it you can hit shots that rival an offensive blade. It handles every technique well, so I'd recommend it for people looking to step up a level from an all-round blade like the Al Evo.

      Manaboot (Experience: １１〜２０ years) Bounces more than I expected, might be a masterpiece

      Player reviews

      I expected this racket to have less natural bounce on its own. It actually bounces decently well. On top of that, it has that good STIGA wood feel. Advanced players might be able to use it too. If an advanced player uses it, a fast-bouncing rubber might work well. It's got good stability too.

      I think this is a racket that works well for a wide range of players, from those just past beginner level up to intermediate. Also, since it's not that hard, I found it pairs really well with tension rubbers.
