  Booster HP

  

  Used the black, thick version as short pips on my penhold.
  It's such a well-balanced rubber that I feel like there's nothing it can't do. Since a penhold short-pips player has to do everything with one rubber, this is a great choice.

  The sponge has good backbone and just the right amount of hardness. It's strong enough that you don't get pushed back, but it still lets the ball sink in a bit. Shots don't fly off on their own, and hard hits give you a nice, powerful ball.
  The pips are a standard cylinder-plus-cone shape with fine, well-formed fabric marks. They don't slip easily and can produce knuckle balls too.

  That's all high praise, but I keep switching back and forth between Booster HP and Hexer Pips Force.
  The reason is that Hexer Pips Force is easier to counter with. But its sponge is hard and makes looping difficult, so I stray over to Booster HP, which lets me loop properly — and then I think "looping is great, but when I counter I get pushed back just a tiny bit..." and switch back again.

  Still, I'd definitely recommend it if you want an all-around, aggressive short-pips rubber.

  ペン表として黒・厚を使用。
  出来ない技術はないのでは？と思う程、バランスの良いラバー。一枚で全てをこなさないといけないペン表にはいいラバーでしょう。

  スポンジはコシがあり程よく硬め。押し負けない強さがあり、食い込ませることも出来るスポンジ。勝手にぶっ飛ぶことはなく、強打はパワーボールが出る。
  シートはオーソドックスな円柱＋台形で布目は細かくしっかりついている。スリップしにくくナックルも出せる粒。

  ここまでべた褒めだが、ブースターHPを使ってはヘキサーピップスフォースに戻すを繰り返している。
  理由はカウンターのしやすさがヘキサーピップスフォースの方が勝るから。しかしスポンジが硬くドライブがしにくいので、ドライブもがっつり出来るブースターHPに浮気して、「ドライブはいいけどカウンターの際に、ほんの少し！押し負けるなぁ…」の繰り返し。

  でも表に攻撃的な万能感を求める方にかなりオススメです。

  SK7 Classic

  

  A blade that made a comeback at a higher price.

  This is the quintessential thick 7-ply plywood blade - the feel is on the hard side, and I think it's best suited for power-drive players and short-pips players.

  It goes against the current trend for flexible, thin special-material blades, but I think there's a reason Butterfly went out of its way to keep it in production.
  It's often treated as a benchmark among pure-wood 7-ply blades, so I think it's worth trying once and using it as a reference point when looking for a blade you like.
  As for the weight, like everyone says, I think this is a blade whose characteristics can really be brought out by someone who has the strength to swing this much weight through. If you don't think you can swing something this heavy, then a thick pure-wood 7-ply probably just isn't suited to your game in the first place.

  Compared to the Clipper Wood, which also often gets treated as a benchmark, this one flexes even less and has more of a dry, woody feel on contact.
  I guess that comes down to personal preference.

  値上がりして再デビューラケット。

  ド定番の7枚合板の厚ラケ、打球感は硬め、パワードライブユーザー、表ソフトユーザーに最適かと思います。

  しなりのある特殊素材薄ラケの流行りとは逆ですが、バタフライがわざわざ継続販売するだけはあるなと思います。
  7枚合板純木材ラケットの中でランドマークにされることも多いので、一度使ってみて、これを基準に好みのラケットを探すのもいいかなと思います。
  重さは皆さんの言う通り、この重さが振れる人パワーを持っている人が、この板の特徴を活かせるラケットと思います。これを重く振れないと思うなら、むしろ7枚合板の純木材厚ラケはプレーに合わないでしょう。

  同じくよくランドマークにされるクリッパーウッドと比べると、更にしなりは少なく、乾いた木材感がある打球感と感じます。
  この辺は好みかなぁと。

  Person CFZ

  

  Overseas it looks like it's sold as the Persson World Champion 1989.

  The weight is 92 grams for a Chinese-penhold blade... heavy enough to make you go "whoa."
  I saw a review on some site calling it a blade that flies way too much, but it's not really like that. That said, there is a refreshing sense of speed, but you can still play the short game with it. It's surprising. I think the Zylon carbon, plus the top ply which is probably Western pine, are what make it good.

  Honestly, the flex is a bit on the low side — it's not a super stiff blade, but it does have the bounce and hardness typical of an outer blade. On top of that, I think the softness of the Western pine blends in nicely.

  For inverted-rubber users who live for spin, I think the lack of flex means it flies too far, but it might be good for players who use a parallel swing with a grippy, modern spin-oriented rubber to smash out powerful speed drives.
  It's a Chinese-penhold blade and I flip to the reverse side, but I can hit low, spin-heavy drives with it.

  The things that bother me are the weight and the grip shape. It's a slightly quirky shape, and on top of that the grip is slippery.

  海外ではPersson World Champion 1989として売っているようですね。

  重量は中国式で92グラム…えって思うくらい重い。
  ぶっ飛びラケットという某サイトレビューみましたが、ぶっ飛びではないです。しかし爽快なスピード感はありつつ、でも台上は出来ます。驚きです。ザイロンカーボンと、あと表材がおそらく西洋松？なのがいいんですかね。

  はっきり言ってしなりはやや少なめ、カッチカチラケットではないですがアウターラケットらしい弾きと硬さはあります。そこにうまく西洋松の柔らかさが合わさっているなと思います。

  回転命の裏ソフトユーザーにはしなり不足で飛びすぎると思いますが、平行スイングでグリップ力のある最近の回転系ラバーを使ってゴリゴリスピードドライブ打つ人にはいいかもしれません。
  中国式で裏面振ってますが、低く回転量のあるドライブが打てます。

  気になる点は重量と、グリップ形状。少し癖のある形状で、尚かつツルツルするグリップです。

  Persson Powerplay Senso - V1

  

  Donic blades are cheap and good for trying out — I think this one was a bit over 4,000 yen?
  This is one of four I bought together to figure out what type of blade I actually like.

  It's an old-school, orthodox 7-ply blade with a hard feel and good bounce off the blade itself. There's not much flex, and considering the era, the speed is slow.
  The rubber suits short pips or irregular rubbers best. It might work with inverted rubber too if you have the physical ability of a player like Persson and can really pop the ball, but that's not really the times we're in anymore, and I think there are plenty of better blades out there.

  As a short-pips player myself, it was a good blade in the sense that it's on the hard side, has good bounce, doesn't fly too far, and has a decent amount of thickness. As an attacking blade for this day and age, though, it's slow.

  ドニックのラケットは安価でお試しにいいですねぇ、4000円ちょっとだったかな？
  自分の好きなラケットのタイプを知ろうと思い、4本まとめて買った一本。

  昔のオーソドックスな7枚合板で、打球感は硬く弾きがいい。しなりは少なく、スピードも時代を考えると遅い。
  ラバーは表ソフトか、異質ラバー向き。裏ソフトでもパーソンのような身体能力があり、弾ける人ならいいかもしれないが、時代じゃないし、もっといいラケットはたくさんあると思います。

  表ソフトの私としては、硬めで弾きやすく、飛びすぎず、厚さもある程度あるという点でいいラケットでした。このご時世の攻撃用ラケットとしてはスピードが遅いです。
