    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    The exceptional spin performance earns high praise, but low bounce and difficulty in handling are challenges. It's positioned as ideal for skilled players, particularly cutmen who can master its unique characteristics.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Extraordinary spin generation dramatically improves cutting technique
    • Low bounce and short ball trajectory are drawbacks
    • Requires high technical skill and power from the user
    • Hard sheet properties enable effective short shots and flat strokes
    • Perfect for cutmen and drivemen seeking varied tactics
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe spin on cuts is outrageous, even high cuts get dropped by opponents. Flat attacks are fast thanks to the hardness of the rubber.
    ▽ CriticalLow bounce makes it difficult to handle, and mid-range drive rallies are challenging. Not suitable for beginners and unreliable in consistency.

      Sergei It got a bit softer, but...

      As always, it's hard. But I love this hardness lol
      Compared to Hurricane, blocks feel easier to do with this. The tackiness is strong, though honestly the bounce isn't much to speak of. When you hit it flat, the ball leaves the rubber faster than with Hurricane.

      Both the sheet and the sponge are on the harder side, so brushing strokes are easy to do, and it's easier to hit hard with than Hurricane. You get a wide range of ball qualities out of it.
      That said, the initial speed is slow, so you need enough strength and feel to really get the spin fully on. Once the spin is on, it carries really well.

      For a Chinese rubber, this one falls into the bouncier category, but speed still doesn't come out much, so it's hard to use unless you can drive the ball with your own power.
      Spin really bites in, so you can induce mistakes from your opponent on serves and pushes too.
      For people who prefer a rubber that balances both speed and spin, I'd recommend the NEO3 instead.

      Yakinori A chopper's perspective

      Reviews by user

      The tackiness is on the weaker side, but if you brush it with a fast swing, it generates more spin than any tension rubber out there.

      It doesn't bounce much, so you can freely control the speed, placement, height, and amount of spin on your chops.
      What impressed me most was how hard it is for opponents to tell a knuckle chop from a sharply spinning one, which lets you win points off your chops.
      I have no complaints at all when it comes to chopping.

      The people I'd really want to try this are high schoolers who can practice every day and have some power — I think they could really make the most of this rubber.
      The tough part is that trading topspin drives from mid-to-close distance is difficult though.

      Anpanman (Experience: 6〜10 years) So much spin~

      Reviews by user

      More spin-focused than the Skyline NEO3. It's great when you want heavy drives or serves with vicious spin. But it doesn't have that much bounce, so you really need to drive the ball with your own power or it won't go in.
