    [Bought this round-handle version in addition to the 33] Same rubber, Morrist SP max thickness.
    Completely different racket. I was shocked at the difference.
    Unlike the 33, which resonates in your hand, this one has a clean, quick release off the ball.
    A dramatic speed boost. And somehow the control, which I was worried about, actually improved too. Both snap smashes and power drives accelerate nicely, making countering easy. Even against a soft, floaty push, I can respond with an aimed backhand smash or a deep, sharply cut push. I no longer need half-hearted drives.
    With the 33, you start wanting a backhand penhold technique, but ditching that for this one might be the right call. This is a gem that makes me think close-to-the-table fast attack still has more in it.

    I switched from the 33 to this racket and was enjoying it, but partway through practice I started feeling discomfort (pain) in my middle finger (I'm the type whose middle and ring fingers stay straight).
    Why, when the shaping is the same as the 33?
    The cause was that the blade was just 0.5mm thicker.
    I thought about how to fix it right away. In the end I peeled off the cork where my index finger touches, bringing the thickness down to the same 6mm as the 33, which solved the problem. *I deliberately left the thumb-side cork alone, factoring in the difference in flight and hitting angle.
    This gives me the exact same grip feel as the 33. I can swing with no discomfort or pain at all. ◉‿◉
    For practice against beginners I use the 33 for slower speed and no-knuckleball returns.
    For my own practice, I use this racket.

    Here's a follow-up.
    I'm able to hit with good rhythm, but...
    Even though the shaping, the back sheet, and the back finger anti-slip are all exactly the same as the 33, I had some discomfort and slight pain in my middle finger.
    Why? ...The cause turned out to be that the blade was 0.5mm thicker than the 33. That tiny 0.5mm difference put strain on my middle finger (since my middle and ring fingers are straight). After thinking it over about how to shave 0.5mm off, I decided to go ahead and shave down just the part of the cork where my index finger rests. (I left the cork on the thumb side alone — the angle there is right.)
    That solved the discomfort (strain). The grip feel is now exactly the same as the 33.
    For practice against beginners I still use the 33, since it has no knuckleball effect and lower speed, but for my own practice I can hit hard with this racket with no discomfort at all. It's become a racket I really enjoy.
