VO>102 Love♪ (Experience: １１〜２０ years) Shoryu over Kiryu, I'd say
-
2016/12/31
I tried both at max thickness.
Overall, Shoryu had more power across the board in various shots.
That said, for loop drives when brushing the ball, Kiryu gripped more, and it also got more spin on serves.
This loop drive quality is quietly really good, with excellent control too, and it caused the opponent to block the ball long quite often.
I was tempted to switch to Kiryu at that point.
But prioritizing overall play
I settled on Shoryu ♪
Ease of meeting the ball on drives
Speed of counters
Ease of flicking in the short game
Movement on blocks
Kiryu is said to be more stable
but I think if you have some power, Shoryu is the safer, more well-rounded choice.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Chou Kuroneko (Experience: More than ２０ years) A speed-tension tacky rubber

About 15 years ago now, back in my school days, I used a Chinese rubber called PF4 on my forehand, but once speed glue got banned I switched to a spin-oriented tension rubber that gave good spin and speed. Finally, though, I've found a non-glue tacky rubber that actually delivers speed. What appeals to me most is that distinctive Chinese-rubber spin. Rather than sinking the ball in, brushing it thin generates spin. Everyone's technique is different, so it's important to choose a rubber that matches your own swing, but since my style is a drive with a thin contact, I felt this rubber suited me well thanks to its stable, long topspin rallies. That said, one drawback of Chinese rubbers is that a light swing produces a flat, dead ball that's easy for the opponent to punish. However, depending on how you make contact, you get distinctive movement after the bounce — sinking down or extending — so even though it's not fast, it feels like a rubber that can throw off your opponent's timing. Rubbers with strong spin and strong speed are appealing too, but a powerful ball doesn't always translate into points. If you can bring out this rubber's natural, unpredictable movement, I think it's more than capable in actual matches.

It's excellent in spin and speed above all, so if you train to improve your control, it really pays off. It's a bit heavy, so I wouldn't recommend using it on both sides. If you do, pairing it with a lightweight, power-oriented blade like the Wa no Kiwami Ren might let even female players generate power comparable to male players. Being a tacky rubber that grips the ball well, it also has great bite on serves, and the amount of movement you get on shoot and curve drives is huge — it's almost fair to call it the strongest rubber out there, and unlike Tenergy it isn't expensive, so I think it's worth trying at least once. I also started this in junior high, and I managed to reach the Kyushu top 4, and I'm known as the Drive Man of the South. (That last part's a joke.)

It's like a Chinese rubber with added ease of use. Spin, speed, and control are all more than enough. I think it's a really high-quality rubber. Drives are extremely stable and it's got good speed too. The short game and chiquita are especially good. If I had to name a flaw, it's that when you get jammed up, it doesn't produce much power. Other than that, it's perfect. I think it's worth giving a try.

I could never find a rubber that suited my penhold single-ply blade, but this one fits really well.
Backhand techniques like blocks and pushes are easy to do.
It's also quite easy to attack backspin. Tenergy flies too much and forces you to keep your swing small, but
with this rubber you can swing freely and it still holds the ball well; it can also feel a bit less reactive to the opponent's drives at times
which makes counters and returning drives easier. Until you get used to it, it holds the ball even in the short game, so you'll get some net misses.
Amazing value for money!!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
