    User review

    I used Jupiter II Blue on the forehand and Raigan on the backhand. It's listed as averaging 86g, but I bought a light 81g specimen, so even with a heavier rubber on it, I could swing it around with no trouble. The ST grip is a squared-off shape close to the Timo Spin grip. Being 7-ply, it has more bounce and pop than a 5-ply, but it's naturally less bouncy than a flying blade like the SK7 or Clipper. At 6.1mm the ply is quite thin for a 7-ply, so you can really put spin on the ball. I tried both tension and tacky rubbers and both felt good. Being 7-ply, it releases the ball easily, so it felt like a good match for short pips and long pips too. It doesn't have any single standout trait, but it strikes a nice balance of bounce and spin along with a versatility that works with pretty much any rubber. Since it's lightweight, I'd recommend it to players who want more bounce than a 5-ply while using heavier rubbers like tacky sheets, players who want more spin than a special-material blade gives them, and players running an off-rubber on the backhand.

    I bought the 83g version.
    My first impression is that even though it's lightweight, the sweet spot is quite wide, so you still get good shots even with a bit of a mishit.
    The bounce is about like a standard 7-ply blade such as the SWAT — nothing especially fast.
    The ball-holding feel is really good, and even with a super fast rubber attached, you can feel the blade creating the arc itself, which makes it stable.
    The feel is soft, close to wood, but on hard hits you can still feel that special-material character, so it seems like a blade that both wood lovers and special-material fans would enjoy.

    Used the 1.9mm on the backhand of a shakehand blade.
    It measured 157mm x 150mm and weighed 43g.
    My overall impression was that it's perfectly suited to the backhand.
    It's soft, so drives and chiquita are very easy to hit, and it's a pleasure to use.
    Also, for a soft tension rubber, it puts on plenty of spin, and I especially liked how the push shots bite and come out on a low trajectory.
    You can get it for under 4,000 yen online, so I think it's a pretty good value-for-money rubber.

    The feel is excellent. For a special-material blade, it's on the soft side, but on drives and smashes you still get that satisfying carbon-like sound.
    Also, the blade is a bit thick at 6mm, and while it doesn't flex much, it grips the ball really well.
    It balanced spin and bounce better than I expected.
    I'd recommend it to tension-rubber users who like to sink the ball into the sponge and drive.
    I had the impression Darker mostly made single-ply hinoki penholders, but they proved me wrong in a good way. Their special-material shakehands are worth considering too.

  • LIBERTA ARCS

    User review

    I'd been a longtime user of the Liberta Synergy, but I got curious about this one too and bought it.
    Compared to the Synergy, the bounce and grip thickness are close enough to be considered basically the same, but the big difference is the smoked top ply plus the thinner blade (5.6mm). The top ply is harder, and the thinness increases the amount of flex, so it paired really well with tacky rubber too. Backhand drives were also easier to hit than with the Synergy. I felt that the Arcs suits players who want to hammer away with heavy spin on both wings, while the Synergy suits players who also want to use snap-style shots like smashes and flicks.
