Pros and things to consider

Pros

• Light at about 65 g, a weight that children can also handle easily.
• A compact shape designed with easy swinging in mind.
• An all-round model that is easy to use for practicing both attack and defense.

Things to consider

• Because the blade is compact, it may not suit players who prefer a large surface.
• Only the FL grip is offered; ST cannot be chosen.
• Speed is rated Mid-slow (Nittaku's classification), so it is not suited to players who want the power of hard hits.
