The 1st Dan is crafted for players who want two distinct gears in one blade. Built on a kiri core with dual inner carbon layers, it features contrasting outer veneers: supple spruce on the forehand for a higher arc and spin-friendly flex, and firm walnut on the backhand for a flatter trajectory and crisp rebound. This asymmetry gives the 1st Dan a split personality—one side built for aggressive, spin-loaded topspin; the other for laser-straight blocks and counter-drives. At ~90 g and just 5.7 mm thick, it delivers a solid, connected feel without ever sounding hollow. The broad sweet spot ensures consistent touch whether you’re looping, punching, or switching pace mid-rally. Pair the spruce forehand with a medium-hard tensor or tacky Chinese rubber to exploit dwell and kick. On the walnut backhand, opt for a medium-soft tensor or short pips to keep counters fast and low. Ideal for third-ball attackers who open with spin and finish with precision.
