ローズウッドNCT Ⅴ FLA についてのコメント（2011年10月現在使用中）
 まず、私自身が、すごく飛ぶラケットはあまり好んで使いません。他のスティガラケットもいくつか試しましたが、自分のコントロールが可能で今まで使っていたオールラウンドエボリューションよりも弾む、力のあるボールがでやすいものと考えた時に一番いい感触だったのが、ローズウッド NCT Ⅴでした。オールラウンドエボリューションもすごく安定感があり、好きでしたが、時々中国ラバーでブロック等をする時にネットミスがでるので、多少その部分をラケットの弾みでカバーしたかったこともあり、用具変更しました。
 ローズウッド NCT Ⅴは、ただ弾むだけではなく、良い軌道弧線がでるので、しっかり振り切っても大丈夫です。また、相手のコートに入ってからの伸びがある、失速しないところも良いと思います。"

Obviously the Google Translator does not carry out a good job :

"First of all, I myself do not use rackets to fly very much in favor. I tried some other Sutiga racket, bouncing all-rounder than I've been using Evolution on my can control, but when you think was the best feeling in the ball and easy ability was rosewood NCT Ⅴ. There are also very all-round stability Evolution, but I liked, so when you get errors like the Internet blocked in China rubber sometimes, sometimes I wanted to cover some part in the momentum of the racket, I changed equipment .
Rosewood NCT Ⅴ, not only just sprung, so get a good trajectory arcs, you can safely secure 振Ri切Tsu. There is also growing into the opponent's court, where I may not stall."

Sound liked she had used Stiga Allround Evolution blade before ?
Can someone help to translate this better ?

Please see below for a loose translation:

Actually, I don't like blades that are too bouncy so I never use them. However I did want a faster blade that provides good control and is easier to generate powerful shots than the Allround Evolution that I was using. Of all the Stiga blades that I tried, Rosewood NCT V (meets all my requirements and) has the best ball feeling/touch. I really liked AE and the control that it provides. However, when paired with sticky Chinese rubbers, my passive shots such as blocks would sometimes go into the net. Therefore I changed from AE into a slightly faster and powerful Rosewood NCT V.

Rosewood NCT V is not only bouncier/faster it also gives good throw/arc, so it plays great even on full/big swings. Furthermore I like the fact that (with Rosewood V) my shots have longer second jump and sustained speed after bouncing off my opponents' court.

Hi Kashuken, Thank you very much ! Now I understand very well.

I am touched by Hirano's comment ! She is really sharing her first hand truthful experience, and not a
commercial pitch to advertise the brand she endorses. Very rare in today's highly 'monetized' commercial sport world. She has my respect !

She also fights really hard in every match.
