I've been using this on an all-wood blade (Fortius FTRE)
and a composite blade (Solid Pro),
among others, over a long period.
Thickness 2.0
Weight 46.7g・Feel On the softer side, as you'd expect from a 45-degree hardness
・Bounce For a 45-degree rubber, I'd put it in the bouncier category.
e.g. R45>Rozena, Q1・Spin If you let the ball sink in a little as you hit, you get a satisfying metallic "clack" sound, and the trajectory is a bit flat but still draws an arc and lands on the table.
The amount of spin is more than enough.・Meet-hitting It's easy to sink the ball in and hit flat, and counter-smashing is very easy
・Defensive technique Blocks and the like land well without flying out too much
Overall, it's a very well-balanced rubber across spinning, snapping the ball back, and stopping it.
I don't think it suits players who brush the ball to generate spin.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

For a 7-ply, this is a blade that's easy to use for both hitting and topspin drives.
- Ball release
It's fast compared to something like the Clipper or SWAT, but I think it's fine as long as you're using a medium-hardness rubber (around 45 degrees).- Feel
The catalog lists it as "hard," but it's not actually that hard — it has a wood-like hardness. It's clearly softer than inner-carbon type materials.- Spin
If you can get the ball to properly sink into the rubber when you hit, you get really heavy balls. It's also reassuring in topspin rallies, as long as you're at mid-distance from the table.- Speed
I think it has the speed you'd expect from an all-wood 7-ply.- Short game
It doesn't bounce too much and settles well.- Defensive technique
It doesn't bounce too much and settles well.
You also don't get overpowered much.Overall it's a really good blade, but there are two concerns:
- The weight is balanced toward the tip (because the blade size is long vertically)
- The blade itself is heavy
These make it tough when switching from forehand to backhand quickly or when you can't get a full swing in.
For players who aren't confident in their power, I'd recommend the RE version.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

In a word, this is a more manageable version of the Fortius FT.
Compared to the original Fortius FT, bounce and power are toned down a bit, but the downsides of the original - the weight and the tip-heavy balance - have been improved, so it swings through easily and you won't lose swing speed.
In exchange for being easier to handle, it's lost a bit of its edge in power on hard shots and in topspin rallies.
If you can already swing the Fortius FT around without any problem, I can't really recommend this one.
But if you think the Fortius FT is a great blade except that the weight is a dealbreaker for you, this is definitely one to pick up.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I bought this after watching Yu-san's and Goburinzu-san's videos.
*I was previously using the Fortius FT RE.
This is what's known as an inner-fiber blade.
Its features are:
- Very good ball-holding, but you still get powerful shots when you hit hard.
- Blocking is very stable, and the short game is very easy to execute.
- It's lightweight, so even with heavy rubbers on it doesn't get too heavy overall.
This is good for players who want stable play mainly close to and mid-distance from the table.
On the other hand, I don't think it suits players who also want to play from far off the table.
If you want the feel, control over the table, and stability in rallies of a wood blade, but also want extra power when it counts, this is highly recommended!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft
