    I use this with a Chinese-penhold reverse backhand style.
    Basically it pairs well with any rubber, and has plenty of bounce, on par with a carbon blade.
    Thanks to the flex unique to 5-ply blades, drives with a real sense of arc seem to go in almost automatically.
    That said, maybe because the top ply uses walnut (a hard wood), the ball leaves the blade quickly, so you need a certain minimum swing speed to put spin on consistently.
    In that sense, it's easy to handle for intermediate players and above, and will be the strongest partner that lives up to your expectations.
    A blade that makes a very high level of play possible.

    Back when I was actively playing (using speed glue), this was top-tier performance.
    I'm not using it anymore, but it was the first rubber I chose when learning the reverse-side penhold technique.
    In my penhold days I used a max-thickness, high-hardness rubber on the backhand, so this felt too soft and I struggled with blocking, but I think it was great for developing the feel of swinging on my own initiative.
    It's easy to handle, so I'd recommend it to people who are new to table tennis.

    This racket's biggest strength is that it's so light you never have to worry about the rubber's weight.
    The top ply uses glass fiber, and the feel is basically like carbon (lol).
    The ball leaves the racket very quickly, so I'd recommend it more for hitting/flicking-style play and matching your opponent's shots rather than for heavy spin play.
    Opinions are split on the feel — you barely get any vibration in your hand — but personally I find defensive techniques like blocking easier, since you don't get pushed around by your opponent's spin or hard shots.
    Why not give it a try if you're into close-to-the-table fast attack or reverse-pips styles?

    This was the first blade I used when I switched from single-sided penhold looper to inverted rubber on both sides.
    Some units weigh in the low 70g range, even down to the 60g range, so it's very light and lets you pair it with whatever rubber you like.
    It also holds the ball well and is easy to control.
    My only complaint would be that the power on hard hits and smashes leaves something to be desired.
    I can confidently recommend it to people wanting to learn the backhand technique, or beginners moving into penhold with a Chinese-style grip.

    This is the blade I chose when I came back to one-sided penhold looper play after 20 years away.
    It's 7-ply, but unlike the wild, high-speed blades, the bounce is easy to control.
    The forehand topspin drive has a lot of power, and backhand shorts and pushes are easy to execute.
    Since the weight assumes you'll only use one side, it's very heavy, but I think that comes down to preference.
    I'd especially recommend this to anyone aiming for an all-forehand style like Kaii Yoshida's.
