    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Recognized as a hidden masterpiece with high performance, but requires time to master due to its unique characteristics and selects its users carefully. The gap between high speed performance and the difficulty of close-range techniques is pointed out as the most distinctive feature.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Exceptional speed performance with high-velocity counters
    • Close-range techniques are difficult; pushes and chiquitas tend to float
    • Requires 1 week to 3 months to master; user-dependent
    • Excels in front-court short play; mid-court drives need adaptation
    • Good compatibility with hard rackets and strong grip power
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveA hidden gem used by Swedish national team players, with excellent speed and control performance. Shows true potential when combined with a hard racket, and leads to improved play once mastered.
    ▽ CriticalClose-range techniques are significantly difficult with pushes tending to float excessively. Such unique characteristics require considerable effort to master, with muscle memory lost even from brief use of alternative rackets.

      Speed (Experience: 2〜3 years) A slippery kind of feel

      Reviews by user

      It feels kind of slick, but the grip on the ball is amazing! Chiquita is really hard to do with it, though. The speed is intense — I used it on my backhand (thick), and just countering gets you about as much speed as G-1. But the short game is tough because it bounces too much. Even pushes stop feeling like pushes. Honestly, the lifespan is about 5 months (and of that, roughly 3 months is basically the break-in period you need just to get used to the rubber). Using this rubber made me think it's a hidden gem.

      Noguunin (Experience: 2〜3 years) The representative smooth-surface rubber

      Reviews by user

      Just like the title says, it's a slick rubber — pushes slide so much it's almost unsettling, but drives and lobs get proper grip, so those felt easy to pull off. I'd recommend pairing it with a hard blade. That said, it's harder to use than general-purpose backhand rubbers like Rozena or S-1. Still, even a Swedish national team player uses it, so at least you won't lose on the psychological front, right? Not many people use it, but I think it's a hidden gem worth trying.

      Kodomo (Experience: Less than a year) You'll see once you compare

      Reviews by user

      Comparing S-1, Tenergy 64, and Boost TC.
      Speed
      Boost TC >> Tenergy 64 >> S-1
      Spin
      Tenergy 64 >> Boost TC = S-1
      Control
      Boost TC >> Tenergy 64 = S-1
      Overall
      Boost TC >> Tenergy 64 = S-1

      From this, my impression is that Boost TC is difficult, Tenergy is basically an easier-to-use version of Boost TC, and S-1 feels aimed at people new to tension rubbers.

      *This is just my personal opinion.

      Hashi (Experience: 4〜5 years) Tricky!!

      Reviews by user

      It was tough to use.

      The initial speed on smashes is insane lol

      It goes with any blade!

      Might be worth giving it a try!

      Koto (Experience: 6〜10 years) Somehow, not quite sure

      Reviews by user

      It just doesn't make sense!

      Pushes and the like tend to float, but topspin drives don't bounce much at all.

      So you really need some skill for it!

      It took me a week to get used to it, but apparently some people take up to 3 months.

      I've been using it for quite a while, but even using a backup racket for just a week is enough to lose the feel for it.

      Using this rubber takes effort and determination.

      Once you get used to it, you'll get stronger!

      Megane (Experience: 2〜3 years) It flies?!?!

      Reviews by user

      I borrowed a friend's, and at first it felt like it flew way too much, but with a bit of practice you can do anything with it lol (trust me).
      Honestly, it goes with pretty much any blade lol. I don't think you'd lose anything by trying it once. This kind of performance for this price is amazing!

      Yutchi@Cut Close to the table

      Reviews by user

      This suits a style of handling the ball close to the table better than someone grinding out heavy drives from mid-distance. It's not that you can't hit from mid-distance, but staying close to the table brings out the good points of this rubber more!
