  • FLYATT Carbon

    User review

    The bounce is only so-so, but the ball release alone is as fast as a full-on carbon blade.

    I'd recommend using thick rubber on it.

    If you go with medium thickness, the ball flies off before you can even put spin on it, so there's no stability.
    Since the bounce is weak for a carbon blade, pairing it with thick rubber to get some ball-holding and speed isn't a bad combination.
    Since it's light to begin with, you can swing it fine even with max-thickness rubber on both sides.

    That said, whether it's worth going that far is another question.

    If you're at a level where you can handle max-thickness tension rubber on both sides, you'll play a lot better with a different blade.

    This blade is really only suited for players who are satisfied with Flyat Soft rubber.

    It's the kind of blade for someone just past the beginner stage who wants to cheaply try out "what is carbon like anyway."

    Even though it's a special material blade, it produces a really nice arc.
    Among inner-type blades, it has top-class arc and excellent stability.
    It's light, yet it flies about as much as a 7-ply blade around the level of the SWAT Power, so you can really feel the bounce.

    I can recommend this even to top elementary and junior high players who attack aggressively with topspin drives.

    For rubber, I'd recommend pairing it with something that flies in a straight line, like Rasant or 64.
    An arc-heavy rubber would also work, but it seems a waste when the blade itself already creates the arc.

    Alternatively, a tacky rubber meant for light-contact grazing shots might also be good.


    For example, this would suit a player who started in the early years of elementary school and is graduating from a kids' blade around 5th or 6th grade,
    or a female middle/high school student whose main weapon is the drive,
    or, for boys, a control-oriented player who focuses on topspin rallies.

    This is the blade that would fit best in those cases.

    Backspin is easy to lift, draws an arc easily, and gets solid spin on top of that.

    ...But! On drives off a block, or in topspin rallies, the ball leaves the rubber too fast — it feels like it flies off before the spin even catches, and the ball ends up feeling light too.

    The "anyone can easily get spin on it" feeling that Tenergy had is completely absent — this is a rubber that picks its user.

    Sure, with a top player's impact it probably produces more spin than Tenergy, but opinions among us regular players will likely be split.

    At least for me, I couldn't handle it.

    An offensive 5-ply blade that was originally designed for Matsuzawa.

    It bounces more than the Acoustic, but is more restrained than hardwoods like ebony or wenge types.

    It's a fairly thin blade, but the flex isn't all that strong — the feel is like a mellowed-out hardwood.

    It naturally pairs well with tension rubbers, but it also goes with tacky rubbers, and even with short pips mounted, the ball releases at a moderate rate, making it easy to use. Long pips would probably bounce a bit too much for a block-oriented style.

    As mentioned, it doesn't flex hard like the Or Evo or the Acoustic — the ball-holding is about average for a 5-ply blade.

    Overall, my impression is that it's like a "lighter Tenor."

    Maybe because of how the grip is mounted fairly deep despite the flared handle — holding it normally isn't much of an issue, but if you grip deep, your middle finger touches the blade.


    Recent 5-ply blades seem almost desperate to stand out with some unique trait, whether that's going all-in on flex or pushing ball-release speed with surface treatments or hard woods, but among those, this one turns out to be a well-balanced board with moderate bounce and moderate ball-holding.

    On the flip side, that also means it lacks personality, and even though it's built to top-player specs, it feels like it's gotten a bit lost in the crowd (lol).

  • Offensive reflex system

    User review

    The blade itself is pretty hard, releases the ball quickly, and flies well.
    This blade uses a Reflex System to make that hard wood feel softer.

    Because of that gap between the feel on contact and how the ball actually flies, if you go in expecting a normal wood blade, you'll be pretty surprised.

    For rubber, I'd recommend something on the softer side to balance out the hard blade.
