    Like everyone says, it's a bit heavy. But if you're high school age or older, it's not really something you'd notice much. Maybe thanks to that weight, blocking is really easy — you never get overpowered by your opponent's shots.
    It's a blade with a lot of bounce, so if you hit a drive carelessly you'll sail it long. But if you put proper spin on it, it stays on the table. Loop drives feel like they're about to fly off the table but surprisingly they don't.

    Among single-ply blades that often cost over 20,000 yen, this one is reasonably priced at a list price of 12,000 yen. The 10mm version obviously has more bounce, but even this one has plenty of bounce. Because of that, if your blade angle isn't set properly on a short block, you'll overshoot the table. If you're not skilled at pushing, you'll overshoot too. You really need to send the ball forward properly, or rather, get the feel of slicing through it.
    For forehand drives and smashes, if you imagine rotating the head of the blade, you can hit some really powerful shots.
    Overall, it's a great blade.

    Up until now I'd only used high-bounce inverted rubbers like the G-1 or Vega, but I tried Shoryu as an experiment. When you swing all the way through, you get a really satisfying shot that lands in. But if your swing speed is slow, the ball won't bounce and will hit the net. When you block, the ball comes out straight and lands in the opponent's court.
    This might be true of tacky rubbers in general, but it suits players who can swing all the way through.
