Overview
Kumpoo Beimo landed in my hands as a friend’s spare during an equipment dry spell — quirky court note, not a flagship launch essay. Mid-tier attack lean, narrow hoop that telegraphs Astrox 100ZZ inspiration, paint that is calmer than Kumpoo’s wilder asymmetric experiments.
My 4U G5
- Playing weight about 94.2 g with butt - Balance about 300 mm - Shaft 6.5 mm, length about 220 mm, medium flex - Box frame, 76 holes, full grooves, warranty around 30 lb - Came strung at 24 lb on a dead training multifilament — replace it Paint quality matches Kumpoo’s better recent blanks: white / grey-blue contrast without clown asymmetry. Stickers are busy and a bit anonymous; hotter foil would help. Materials feel at least 30T-class in hand — shaft bends and recovers with real substance.
On court
Swing weight sits heavy enough to announce attack intent. Leverage is easy; sweet spot is the classic long oval that punishes beginners who spray. Once rallies heat up, the shaft is tougher than the mid-tier sugar brief suggests — you can drive it with cleaner timing and get low, sharp exits. Head bias helps smash angle; I never fully sampled peak kill because stock string unloaded everything. That stock bed is the main complaint. Damping helps soft net work and sticky drops, then locks you in mid-court flats and digs until you restring. Selling it pre-strung forces a second stringing bill before the blank shows its real continuous manners — an empty frame would have been more honest.
Who should buy
Buy Beimo as a value attack spare if you already time stiff-ish mid blanks and will cut the factory string on day one. Skip for true beginners who need a wide oval, or anyone expecting Shura II / Shanhai NEW flagship manners.
Verdict
Respectable mid attack chassis buried under a sticky factory bed. Bones say yes; packaging strategy says change the string before you judge the dragon.
