  Persson Powerplay Senso - V1

  

  I got the ST, an 88g piece.

  First, tapping the ball on the bare blade, the wood feels on the hard side, and the bounce is a bit less than the SK7, but I can feel that ball-holding quality typical of Clipper-style Swedish blades - it doesn't just snap the ball away too fast. At about 6mm the blade is thin for a 7-ply, giving it a "hard yet thin" kind of flex.
  The balance point is a bit toward the handle even with the Senso V1 grip. The grip is on the slim side, so I think it would be easy to hold for women and junior players too.

  Once you put rubber on it and hit with it, you can feel that Clipper-style ball-holding along with a hardness that has a solid core. The surface material isn't the hard type. There's some flex too, so I think there's very little sense of unfamiliarity if you're switching over from a 5-ply. On the flip side, it's light on that "7-ply = hard, bouncy, heavy" feeling, so if you're switching from a domestic maker's 7-ply, you might not be satisfied with the bounce.

  The flex works well for light touches in the short game, while the hardness comes through on hard hits like power drives, so I think it's an all-round blade whether you're into 5-ply or 7-ply play. I'd say it suits beginners through intermediate players who want to improve their ball control. If you're after fast rallies and counters, you might find the bounce a bit lacking, but I think you can adjust for that with your choice of rubber.

  私が購入したのはST、88ｇの個体です。

  まずブレードのまま球を突くと固めの板質で、弾みはSK7よりも劣りますが、クリッパー系のスウェーデン製ラケット特有のパンパン弾け過ぎず球持ちが良さそうなのを感じます。板厚が約6ｍｍと７枚にしては薄く、「硬く薄い」しなやかさがあります。
  重心位置はセンゾーV1グリップながら「やや手元寄り」です。グリップは細目なので女子、ジュニア層でも握りやすいと思います。

  ラバーを張って打球しますと、クリッパー系の球持ちと芯のある硬さを感じます。表面材が硬い系ではありません。しなりもあるので５枚合板からの移行には違和感がとても少ないと思います。逆を言えば「７枚＝硬い、弾む、重め」感が薄いので、国内メーカーの７枚合板からシフトすると弾みに満足できないかもしれません。

  しなやかさが台上技術の軽打、硬さがパワードライブなどの強打に生きてくるので５枚、７枚問わずオールラウンドなラケットだと思います。初級者～ボールコントロールを向上させたい中級者向けかなと。高速ラリー、カウンターを狙いたい方には弾みが物足りないと感じるかもしれませんが、ラバーで調節するといいかと思います。

  SK7

  

  I bought this back in high school and used it for a really long time. When I came back to table tennis after a break, it felt heavy, hard, and way too fast, so for a while I switched to a springier 7-ply blade that toned the speed down. Once I'd gotten my feel back, I picked SK7 back up again.

  Butterfly blades in general seem to be pressed really firmly, so there's almost no flex — it feels almost like a tennis racket strung with gut, biting into the ball right around the sweet spot. The SK7 blade is no exception: it's hard, but the bounce is very consistent. When you tap just the bare wood, it makes a high, tight, satisfying sound.
  It's a bit on the heavy side, so female players might feel they don't have quite enough power to swing through it, but I think it's a classic blade that manages to combine bounce, power, and control at a high level even in the plastic ball era.

  Unfortunately it's already been discontinued, so if there's any dead stock left I'd love to buy it up lol.
  There's a successor line called the Hadraw series, and it sounds like the ply construction has changed a bit, but as the successor to the SK7 line I'm sure it's a great blade too. After all, it's a Butterfly blade, and the quality is always excellent!

  私が高校生の時に購入して、かなり長い間使用していました。途中卓球から離れた期間から復帰した際には重い、硬い、ぶっ飛ぶので、他の飛びを抑えたしなりのある7枚合板をチョイスしていました。だいぶ感覚を取り戻してSK7をまた使い始めました。

  バタフライのラケット全般のブレードはしっかりプレスしているのか、しなりがほとんどなく、まるでテニスラケットの様にガットを張ってスイートスポットを中心に食い込む様な感覚があります。SK7のブレードも例に漏れず硬いながら弾みの安定感がいいです。板のみで打った時の打球音はとても甲高く、身が詰まったいい音がします。
  若干重量があり、女子選手には振り切るパワーが不足するかもしれませんが、プラボールになってからも高次元で弾みと威力、コントロールを両立できる名機だと思います。

  しかし残念ながらすでに廃盤になっているので、デッドストック品があれば買いだめしたいですｗ
  後継ラケットにハッドロウシリーズがあるので、若干の合板構成の変更があるようですがSK7シリーズの後継ということできっといいラケットだと思います。なんといっても品質のいいバタフライのラケットですからね！

  Vega Pro

  

  The sheet is on the harder side and grips the ball well, so serves come out sharp with good spin. The sponge is firm with a strong core, giving that grip-and-sink feel typical of spin-oriented tension rubbers. It's not rock hard, so the ball surprisingly stays on the rubber a bit.

  When you actually hit with it, you can play very stable attacking shots with topspin drives, flat hits, and the short game. Both spin and bounce are at a high level. It's stable to an almost strange degree, making all kinds of techniques easy to pull off. Given how stable it is, the power on topspin drives is really impressive. Even in topspin rallies, the ball flies well and seems to accelerate after bouncing on the table, letting you create a heavy ball.
  I can highly recommend this to anyone who wants stability on third-ball attacks or rallies with varied pace.

  The one drawback is that lobbing is difficult. Even if you add a bit of topspin to a lob, the ball comes out soft and floaty, and you can't control where it lands.

  Also, it lasts a long time before wearing out. I think it would last 2-3 months for a student who plays hard in a club. And since the price is reasonable too, it's easy to keep using a good rubber continuously.

  シートが硬めで引っ掛かりが良く、サーブが切りやすい。スポンジはコシの強い硬めでスピン系テンション特有の食い込みがあります。ガチガチに硬くないので意外と球持ちがいいです。

  実際に打球するとドライブ、ミート、台上でかなり安定感のある攻撃ができます。回転、弾み共に高いレベルです。不思議なくらい安定していろいろな技術がやりやすいです。ドライブの威力は安定感の高さを考えると凄くいいです。引き合いでもしっかり飛んで、台にバウンドしてから走る感じがあり、重い球質を作ることが出来ます。
  ３球目攻撃の安定感、緩急をつけたラリーをしたい方にはとてもお勧めできます。

  唯一の欠点がロビングのやり難さです。ドライブを若干掛けてロビングしてもフワッとしたどこに落ちるかコントロール出来ない球になります。

  あとは消耗寿命が長いです。部活に励む学生なら2～3か月は持つと思います。そして値段も手ごろなので、いいラバーを継続的に使い続けやすいです。

  I can strongly recommend this to players who often use flat-hitting shots like speed drives and smashes.

  The sheet has a springy, jelly-like bounce to it — I wouldn't really call it hard?
  The sponge also has coarse pores and a similar feel to the sheet. It doesn't feel that hard, but maybe the strong elasticity makes it feel hard to a lot of people.

  Even on a flatter, more linear trajectory, this rubber still drops solidly deep into the opponent's court. It's stable and controllable on speed drives and topspin rallies. I think that's because the drive generates a lot of spin. It's also easy to lift a topspin drive off a third-ball backspin serve while still getting speed, and the power of a single shot doesn't disappoint. When you hit a solid drive, it makes a metallic sound almost as good as the Extend. Rather than the ball flying off on its own, you can really control the amount of force, so with loop drives too I could focus on the spin and really grip the ball.
  With flatter shots like smashes, the speed and the natural light topspin made it easy to control.
  On the other hand, serves and pushes don't come out choppy since the sheet isn't hard.

  It can't match Tenergy for spin control, but for a rubber under 4000 yen street price, I think it's about as complete as it gets. I think I'll keep repurchasing it for a while.

  スピードドライブやスマッシュ等のミートが強い打法を多用する選手に強くおすすめ出来ます。

  シートはコシのあるプルプルとした弾力があり、硬いわけではないかな？
  スポンジも気泡が粗目で、シートと同じような質感。そんなに硬く感じないけど、弾力が強いから硬く感じるが多いのかも。

  このラバーは直線的な放物線を描く弾道でも、相手コートの深いところでしっかり沈む。スピードドライブや引き合いで安定感、コントロールがいい。ドライブの回転量が多いのが要因かな？3球目の下回転を持ち上げるドライブも持ち上げやすいのにスピードが出て、1発の威力に不満はない。しっかりドライブした時の金属音はエクステンド並にいい音が出る。勝手に飛んでいく感覚より、力加減がしっかり出来るので、ループドライブも回転に集中して引っ掛けることが出来た。
  スマッシュ等の弾く系の打法ではスピードの速さと自然な弱ドライブ回転が掛かってコントロールしやすかった。
  半面、サーブやツッツキはシートが硬くないのでブツ切れにはならない。

  テナジーの回転のコントロール性には敵わないが、実売4000円以内のラバーでは最高レベルの完成度だと思う。しばらくリピートすると思う。

  SIGMA I EURO

  

  Like the Sigma I Pro I reviewed before, I bought this on a discontinued-model sale.
  Being a "Euro" version, the sponge is on the softer side, but the sheet is firm, so when you really sink the ball in you get decent speed and spin.
  That said, the trajectory comes out high but doesn't seem to dip down at the end, so I often overshot when hitting a speed drive. I wish it had a bit more drive spin~
  Probably because of that, blocks are hard to put your own spin on, so the return tends to float up a little, and stability isn't great.

  That said, serves come out sharp with good spin, and the short game and attacking shots were very stable. Stops also come out low with good spin and are easy to return, and even when they float a bit the spin means the opponent can't lift the ball easily, so they seemed to miss a lot more.

  以前レビューしたシグマⅠプロと同じく型落ちセールで買いました。
  ヨーロということで柔らかめのスポンジですが、シートは固めで食い込ませて打つとスピード、回転ともにそこそこ出ます。
  ただ、弧線が高く出るのに最後に沈み込まない感じがあり、スピードドライブを打つとオーバーすることが多かったです。もう少しドライブの回転量が欲しいな～
  上記の特性からだと思いますが、ブロックが自分の回転を掛けにくいので少し浮いた返球になる為、安定感が良くないです。

  ただ、サーブは切れて、台上処理、攻撃はとても安定感がありました。ストップも低く切れて返しやすく、浮いてしまっても切れているので相手が持ち上げられずミスをする事が多くなった感がありました。
