    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Praised for exceptional spin and control performance, though limited rebound poses challenges when transitioning from tension rubbers. Recognized as a versatile rubber suitable for beginners to advanced players, particularly excelling in close-range techniques and looping drives.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Outstanding spin performance enabling easy lower-ball attacks and loop drives
    • Excellent stability in close-range techniques (stop, push strokes)
    • Strong adhesion provides excellent ball grip and precise control
    • Requires adjustment in stroke technique compared to tension rubbers
    • Pairing with elastic rackets recommended due to low rebound characteristics
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveNearly perfect performance. Serves spin sharply and short, while push strokes offer exceptional stability and sharpness. Counter-attacks and lower-ball drives deliver powerful shots, with the stickiness neutralizing opponent's spin.
    ▽ CriticalBalls go into the net when using tension-rubber techniques due to lack of rebound. Beginners find it difficult and extracting the rubber's true potential is challenging. It does not tolerate lazy or careless strokes, constantly demanding solid, committed shots.

      NIKAIDOU (Experience: 6〜10 years) Works as a tacky rubber for backhand too

      Reviews by user

      I test-hit the Nittaku version of NEO3 on my backhand.
      Compared to typical tacky rubbers, the sponge is soft and easy to use, but the sheet is hard, so you need a certain amount of impact.

      On the backhand, if you're conscious of making contact near the tip of the blade, it's easy to add both power and variation. Awkward, defensive connecting shots tend to come out flat and easy to attack, so I felt you need the skill to work in spin variation yourself.

      Pushes, loops, and blocks are, needless to say, weapons that lead to points.
      Since it doesn't automatically give you depth, spin, or speed, you have to add the variation yourself, which made me think it's good to always stay conscious of producing high-quality balls.

      I liked it enough that I plan to keep using it for a while. It's a good rubber.

      Yamamura (Experience: 11〜20 years) Depends on how you hit it

      Reviews by user

      I've also used Turbo Orange, but the ball felt like it left the rubber too quickly, so I went back to NEO3.
      I feel NEO3 has the best balance between sheet and sponge.
      I generate speed through impact, and I'm conscious of varying the length on my loops.
      Whether hitting flat or brushing the ball, it's easier to vary the pace with this than with other tacky or tacky-tension rubbers.
      If you get nervous and hit it half-heartedly, the ball drops, so being able to tell yourself "just commit fully to every impact" is also a personal advantage.

      Even tension-rubber users who tend to overshoot a lot in matches might want to give this a try.
      I do think you need some patience until you get used to how to make contact, though.

      Do it with a pen table (Experience: Less than a year) The Chinese rubber!

      Reviews by user

      First off, my initial impression was that if your impact is weak, the ball really doesn't fly at all
      Well, I'd recommend buying it with your blade compatibility in mind
      ↑ I think it's good to pair it with a blade that flies pretty well ♪
      The tackiness felt pretty strong. Also, drives with that spin variation unique to tacky rubbers —
      when I asked my opponent, they said "these are hard to read lol"
      Loops get insanely heavy spin, and even a connecting loop can score points, so it's pretty exhilarating!
      Please, please give it a try!

      Kuromame (Experience: 4〜5 years) Super soft and bounces a lot

      Reviews by user

      I'm a chopper using an attacking blade, with this on the forehand and Grass D.TecS GS Acid Green on the backhand
      Switching over from Pro III Turbo Blue and Turbo Orange
      It's soft in a way you wouldn't expect from a tacky rubber
      I'd heard it was a bouncy tacky rubber, but it felt more like they toned down the tackiness to boost the bounce
      The arc is high, and the ball settled onto the table nicely
      Against backspin, the Turbo series felt like it made the ball travel faster (probably because its harder sponge gives it more power)
      Short game / Maybe because the sponge is soft, flicks tended to overshoot a lot, and it's hard to do quick blocks over the table
      Stops and the like weren't especially different
      Backhand / Since it's soft, it works fine on the backhand too
      Chopping / Compared to the Turbo series, the NEO3 was overwhelmingly easier to use
      Even though it's an attacking blade, it still holds shots down well
      The sound is the same on knuckle chops and spinny chops, so it's easy to create variation, and opponents missed a lot
      Summary
      - I'd recommend a special-material blade (outer-carbon, ALC, acoustic carbon, etc.)
      - Good for people without much power who want to use a tacky rubber
      - Good for people who want tacky rubber on the backhand too
      - Ideal for choppers
      - Better suited to mid-distance or away-from-the-table play than close to the table (it flies well enough even in topspin rallies)

      Kuromame (Experience: 4〜5 years) The pips feel lively! (self-restoring effect)

      Reviews by user

      I'm a chopper using Grass D.TecS GS Acid Green on the backhand, switching over from Pro III Turbo Blue
      First impression
      Really light and soft (46 grams after cutting)
      It felt soft to the touch, and when I actually hit with it, it really was soft
      I'd heard rumors that it has good speed, but it felt more like they toned down the tackiness to boost the bounce
      Still, it doesn't compare to a tension rubber
      The amount of spin is plenty good too
      Against backspin, though, the ball traveled faster with Turbo Blue
      On blocks too, Turbo Blue didn't lose out to the opponent's power as much
      Probably because the sponge is soft
      I'd heard the short game would be easy since it doesn't fly, but personally I felt it flew too much, so it was hard to control
      Turbo Blue is probably easier to flick because its sponge is harder
      I also tried swinging with it on the backhand, and it worked surprisingly well. It felt like just the right softness for the backhand
      Chopping
      Overwhelmingly easier than Turbo Blue, and despite being an attacking blade, it still holds shots down well
      It also flies well enough in topspin rallies
      Summary
      I felt it worked better on the backhand than the forehand
      Good for choppers, people with weak impact who want to use a tacky rubber, and backhand tacky setups

      shinkey12 (Experience: 2〜3 years) Swing for speed, just block and the return is slow

      Reviews by user

      Bought the blue sponge version
      The amount of spin is shocking
      After it bounces on the opponent's side, it just plummets straight down toward the floor (lol)
      Serves are also easy to do, so I'd recommend it to beginners too, and everyone knows it's the champion rubber that a lot of pro players use.
      The short game in particular is godly
      I wouldn't recommend it for the backhand side

      I use the DHS 39-degree max thickness.
      It's pre-tensioned, but even so it doesn't bounce or produce speed compared to a normal tension rubber. That said, if you really commit to loops and serves, the spin is intense, and it was easy to win points with in matches. Also, the amount of spin on drives varies a lot, so I think if you can master it, it might actually be easier to win with than a tension rubber.
      If you're in an environment where you can practice a lot, I think it's worth trying at least once. It's cheap too.
