    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly rated as a high-performance rubber comparable to Tenacious, with excellent durability and cost-performance. The German-made product features individual variations and a softer feel despite 47-degree hardness, with stability across all techniques and balanced rotational performance gaining widespread user support.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • High spin and speed rivaling Tenacious
    • Superior durability with long lifespan and excellent value
    • Particularly excellent for counter-drive against backspin
    • High stability in all short-range techniques
    • Outstanding grip power from large grain design
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe spin performance rivals sticky rubber—I was amazed that tension rubber could apply such rotation. Michelin's durability enables long-term use, and the overall cost-effectiveness surpasses Tenacious.
    ▽ CriticalInitial spin is easy to apply, but after one week it becomes a normal tension rubber and performance drops significantly. The forehand feels too soft and underwhelming, making Tenacious better value at this price point.

      Susumu. (Experience: 2〜3 years) Wonderful rubber

      Reviews by user

      I tried it again on an outer blade.

      This is one of the rubbers known as a "post-Tenergy," made to rival Tenergy. To me it felt softer than the listed hardness. There's also a 51° version of the same type, so that might be worth trying too.

      There were two things different from Tenergy:
      ① Whether it gives you that "auto" kind of assisting feel (I did feel it on an inner blade...)
      ② Whether you get "kuse-dama" (balls that just won't spin)

      As for ①, I didn't get that sense of a clean ball coming out even when hitting from Tenergy's characteristic tight position — not on the outer blade anyway.
      As for ②, I actually see that as a plus. Since the Target Pro is made in Germany, it did give me those kuse-dama. The gap between balls that spin and balls that don't is big, so it can induce mistakes from your opponent!

      Overall, this was a rubber good enough to be called the German version of Tenergy! Hope this helps!

      Hexa (Experience: 11〜20 years) Good for matches

      Reviews by user

      Switched from the Q5 to the Target 47, currently using it on my forehand.
      First, for serves, the spin is higher than the Q5, and long serves are fast and easy to use too.
      Loop drives and speed drives are on par, but backspin is easier to lift, and counters drop out of the air less.
      Stop and flick off the receive are no problem either.
      It's also a bit lighter than the Q5.
      Overall it's easy to handle and lasts a long time, so even though the price is a bit high, it's worth using.
      If the drive speed ever feels lacking, there are harder versions too, so it might be worth trying those.

      Usataro (Experience: 11〜20 years) Top-class grip!

      Reviews by user

      I switched to this on my B-side (backhand) from Rakza 7.
      My first impression was that it feels soft for a 47-degree hardness. The technique where it performs best by far is the drive against backspin!
      This is the first rubber I've come across that lifts the ball so easily while generating this much spin.
      The person receiving my shots said the ball has strong extension and movement off the bounce.
      When I used it on my F-side (forehand) it felt too soft and the ball would actually drop short, so personally I'd recommend using it on the backhand! If I had to name one downside, it's that the push felt a little prone to floating up. It's fine once you get used to it, and it has outstanding stability in rallies, so definitely give it a try!!!

      assistant (Experience: 2〜3 years) Insane grip

      Reviews by user

      My first impression when I hit with it was how strong the grip is. When I drove on my forehand, it grabbed the ball so much that with my old feel for the game, the ball would sail long. (My previous rubber was Evolution EL-S.) Once you get used to it, it's really easy to generate spin overall and the spin bites well, so it's quite convenient. It suits the backhand better than I expected too, and overall it's very stable.

      Don (Experience: 4〜5 years) Spin comes automatically at first

      Reviews by user

      It feels softer than I expected. When I first bought it, the spin came automatically and I thought it was an easy rubber to use. But after about a week, the automatic spin disappeared and it turned into just a normal tension rubber. Right after buying it, I'd rate the spin around a 9, but after about a week it dropped to around 6-7. Also, since it's soft, I felt it lacking a bit on the forehand. The high price is also a sticking point. At this price, I feel like you'd be better off just buying Tenergy.

      Chan G (Experience: 6〜10 years) So-so

      Reviews by user

      Put it on my forehand!
      To put it simply, it's like
      "an easier-to-use G1"
      or "a harder Rakza 7"
      (sorry for referencing two other brands, lol)
      It doesn't have as much grip as the G1. It gives you plenty of spin for loop drives, but overall it's hard to get spin on... I think this rubber is perfect for players who fight with flat hits or who want to build their game around counter-smashes! I'm that type of player, so it suited me well!

      Hijikimaru (Experience: 4〜5 years) Insane spin‼

      Reviews by user

      This is really something. Just set the angle and it basically goes in on its own, lol.
      Against backspin too, the loop is so nasty a friend told me it's basically cheating, lol.
      It's pricey, but give it a try.
