Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary

Highly rated as a high-rebound racket tailored for attacking cut players, yet significant specification changes from the predecessor Zhu Shihe model have led some players to struggle with adaptation and report difficulty in feel and control.

■ Frequently Mentioned Points

Excellent offensive performance with high rebound power
Improved spin when combined with cut-focused rubbers
Major changes from predecessor cause adjustment challenges
Ideal for players seeking lightweight and bouncy rackets
Performance varies significantly with rubber selection

■ Representative Voices

▲ PositiveThis racket truly shines for attacking cut players. Offense becomes easier, and the spin on cuts is quite strong. The compatibility with reverse pips is also excellent.

▽ CriticalCompared to Zhu Shihe, despite greater bounce, the stronger flex makes the ball feel less held. This critical change in core feel led me to abandon the transition.

Takuto (Experience: ４〜５ years) Bouncy

It's got a lot of pop, so it's for advanced players.
Pairing it with Tenergy is amazing
Especially the combo with 05 and P4, I thought that was great!

I (Experience: ４〜５ years) Flies quite well

It's got quite a bit of speed.
But I think it makes a great partner for advanced choppers! lol
I said it flies, but surprisingly it feels easy to hold back hard smashes.

Or (Experience: ４〜５ years) Matsushita Koji Offensive

This is basically the Koji Matsushita Offensive
with a bit more flex added and made to bounce more.
It's a completely different animal from the Joo Se-hyuk.
Chops are easier to keep controlled than with the Joo Se-hyuk, I think.
For drives, hitting with a bit of a flick/knock feels more stable.

I think this is a blade that really shines for today's aggressive-style choppers! First off, this is a defensive blade that leans a bit toward offense. So it's easy to attack with, and you can get plenty of spin on your chops too. It also pairs excellently with reverse pips.
As for rubber, a slightly harder one gives more stability. For long pips, I think something in between soft and hard works best.

(Experience: ６〜１０ years) Aside from the feel, a good blade

I'm a Joo Se-hyuk user. When I test-hit the newly released Diode V, the ball felt noticeably faster and the spin was satisfying too.
However, the feel is dry and flat, and the sense of distance isn't great.

Anonymous (Experience: ４〜５ years)

This was a blade I bought when I switched from being a topspin-drive player (using an Infinity VPS) to becoming a chopper. For a defensive blade, it was on the bouncy side, but coming from a drive-style player, it actually felt like it didn't bounce enough.
Forehand chops tend to go long, but I think you can control that depending on the rubber.
Backhand chops are easy to control (well, it is a defensive blade, lol). Also, putting short pips on it made the weight heavy enough that it tended to cause injuries. I thought it worked well with medium or thick rubber on the forehand and long pips on the backhand.
By the way, the blade's weight is 100g — the heaviest out of five I measured at the store. When I actually weighed it, none of them matched the catalog weight exactly. There's individual variation.

Cutman (Experience: ４〜５ years) A blade for choppers who want more offensive power

I bought this right when my old Joo Se-hyuk blade broke. Compared to the Joo Se-hyuk, this one feels almost the same. Personally, I think tacky tension rubber suits this blade better than regular tension rubber.
