Atemi 5000 Balsa Carbon

If you wan't a good racket, this isn't it. the sponge is stupidly soft so the rubber bottoms out sometimes when flat-hitting, when looping the ball instantly goes down which is good. The blade is semi-reusable and I put a DHS g888 2.0mm and a XIOM Vega Pro on it to see how it feels. Its good for countering but lacks control also when looping confidence is non existent, the ball on contact feels weird to say the least. The blade tops out at 1617hz (hard blade). The summary isn't much becouse its been a while since i played with it.

Quite fast but not as spinny as it should be. It's completely non-tacky, but okay to play. It's not slow, but not as fast as even the cheapest kit. It may be also too light - only 160 grams. Average kit weights around 180 grams so it may be difficult to even return a ball at higher level.

Really good for a premade racket. Could be a little too fast for beginners. Has amazing speed and good control. The Rubber is definitely non tacky, making a bit hard to make loops and spins. The blade is pretty decent. You can definitely use it to put on some new rubbers after you've done with the ones it comes
