  • MAHARU YOSHIMURA LIMITED EDITION

    User review

    The description says it's modeled after the Innerforce Layer ZLC, but
    it's actually closer to the Innerforce ZLC.
    The blade size is the same too, and it's only 0.1mm thinner.
    The Innerforce ZLC I own happens to be on the thinner side for that model, so this one actually feels a bit inferior by comparison.
    It has the high rarity typical of limited edition items, along with features like the gold grip end, but as a racket its performance isn't anything particularly amazing.

  • VIOLIN CARBON INNER

    User review

    Honestly it's a good blade, but
    ?
    that feeling lingers

    The Violin has such restrained bounce that a larger-bladed version was even sold as a chopping blade,
    and it had the best dwell time of any blade in the string-instrument line,
    but adding carbon to boost the bounce
    while trying to keep that dwell time is what the Violin Carbon Inner is supposed to be —

    but honestly, I find myself asking, did it really need carbon?
    The distinctive feel of the string-instrument series has faded,
    speed is just so-so,
    and while the spin amount is decent, it doesn't reach anything amazing.

    Honestly, it's not that different from a wood blade that bounces a little.

    If this costs around 15,000 yen, I have to wonder about that...
    There are blades with similar properties for maybe 5,000 yen less...

    The thin grip is a plus, though — good for people with small hands.

    So,
    for juniors and women,
    I think I'd recommend it for the intermediate level.
    If you play close to the table, it's absolutely fine.

  • DYNASTY CARBON XU XIN EDITION

    User review

    First of all,
    there's no big difference in performance between the regular version and the Xu Xin version. I've used both, and even if the Xu Xin version's quality is supposedly better, I don't really feel it.
    I think that's just down to individual variation between units.
    So everyone should just buy whichever one they like (lol)

    As for performance,
    the Dynasty is apparently a beefed-up version of the Carbonado 190,
    and I was surprised that Xu Xin chose the 190, which has relatively low ball-holding...
    but the ball-holding is better than I expected.
    The wood has been changed and the material is harder too, but it didn't feel like the ball-holding was too bad.

    Sure, "if you're Xu Xin", this level of performance would be plenty.
    Needless to say the speed is there,
    it's THE outer blade,
    and it still keeps the Carbonado's signature trait of
    bouncing well while still being ○ (good) for control.
    That said, it's still far from a pure wood blade,
    it's just that the control is good for an outer blade, so don't get the wrong idea.

  • P500

    User review

    Since the P900 was good, I tried this one too.
    My first impression is that it's a soft blade.
    Really soft.
    It feels similar to Kong Linghui's style.
    Well, it was a blade used in China back in the day, so it's no surprise it feels similar.
    With that in mind I tried putting tacky rubber on it, but I can't really say the bounce is great.
    The ball-holding you only get from a 5-ply, the sound of wood on impact — you could call it an ideal 5-ply blade.
    These days, with hard plywood blades from brands like STIGA becoming trendy, this might actually feel refreshing by contrast.
    My impression is that it's close to Liu Shiwen's blade without the ZLC — it feels a bit similar to Liu Shiwen too.

    At this point I wouldn't really recommend tacky rubber on this blade. If you're confident in your muscle strength, you might be able to generate tremendous spin with tacky rubber, but for me it wasn't possible, lol lol

    Making up for the bounce with a spin-oriented tension rubber and balancing it out that way might make it easier to use.
    It's also inexpensive,
    so it works as a first blade for beginners,
    and I think you could just keep using it long-term as is.

    If you're looking for a soft 5-ply blade, or if you're a beginner who doesn't know which blade to buy, I'd definitely recommend this one.

  • Q4

    User review

    If I had to sum up this rubber in one line:
    it's a Tenergy for intermediate players.
    I don't want that to be misunderstood though —
    I mean that more in terms of trajectory than raw performance.
    The amount of spin holds up fine against the 05.
    But where Tenergy grips and launches the ball with the whole sponge, the Q series feels like it's mainly about the topsheet.
    Compared to advanced players, intermediate players tend to get a higher arc out of it.
    That's mostly for the sake of consistency,
    but that means you can't fully bring out what Tenergy is capable of.
    The Q series, on the other hand, feels like a rubber that lets that trait work in your favor.
    So overall it feels like a Tenergy with extra consistency.
