Mr. Many Hobbies (Experience: ４〜５ years) Different impression when used on backhand
-
2021/02/11
I couldn't get the hang of it on my forehand, but when I tried it on my backhand:
- Being tacky, it's easy to handle the short game
- Since it has some hardness, you can produce powerful shots even from mid-distance and further back
- Backhand counters land in a surprisingly satisfying way
It was really excellent in these ways.
That said, blocking felt a little harder to control (might just be my skill level).
A really interesting rubber - high power if an advanced player uses it, and stable thanks to the tack if a beginner or intermediate player uses it.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Using this in max thickness on a Chinese penhold blade.
The first time I used it, the tack was strong and it was hard to handle, but as I kept using it, the speed came out and the spin bit in too - it's a top-tier rubber.
It's especially easy to do loop drives and serves with, and my opponents kept missing over and over; I got more spin out of it than I did with Rakza 7.
When I lent this to a teammate, they picked it up right away and started using it well (it took me a good three days to get used to it), and two more people switched to this rubber right after.
It's such a good rubber that I'd highly recommend it - not just to people using tension rubbers who want even more spin, but also to people on tacky rubbers who want more speed without losing spin.
Also, be careful - if you don't maintain it with a tack film, the tack drops off quickly.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

My first impression was that the ball really flies through, which is great! It flies way more than you'd expect from a tacky rubber - definitely lives up to being a tacky-tension rubber. That said, for blocking you really have to sink the ball into the rubber, which is exactly what you'd expect from a tacky rubber lol

<Topsheet>
Even this is actually an improvement in quality. There's basically zero elasticity. Big spenders who always buy expensive tension rubbers might mistake a brand new Xiang Long for a dead, worn-out sheet. The pips feel more like Skyline's than Hurricane's. Once the tack wears off, any ball you try to lift comes out flat and spinless, so a TSP tack-protector sheet is a must.
<Sponge like a god of destruction>
It's like a steel sponge that someone carelessly doused with booster (lol). Just going by the sponge alone, it beats Tenergy.
<Feel on contact>
Crack! It's literally a metallic sound. Ahh, you can really feel the sponge is alive~ (><)
<Spin>
Because the pips are long like Skyline's, if you just tap the ball you don't get that feeling of the pips folding over and gripping it. That's the nasty part - it adds unpredictable variation to serves, receives, and blocks on its own. Since the sponge is hard and the sheet has no elasticity, it's easy to brush the ball up using just the sheet. Impossible once the tack is dead, though.
<Speed>
When the ball sinks all the way down to the base of that steel sponge, it's easily faster than Tenergy. It's less "fast" and more like it destroys the ball while sending it flying.
<Summary>
The power on brush shots is noticeably lower compared to other tacky rubbers. It shows its true potential with the classic tacky-rubber technique: opening the racket angle and crushing the sheet into the ball. The rubber compresses with a "ku-ku," sinks in with a "gyun," and then the ball shoots out with a "byun."All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

Out of everything I've used, this was super easy to play with.
For a tacky rubber it's not too hard, but at the same time it's not crazy soft either,
so drives really bite and you can get speed when you want it, which I thought was great.
At this price, I think it's amazing value for money!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

I used this mounted on my Infinity. What's best about it is that, for the performance you get, the price is a real bargain! Yasaka is great for keeping prices so reasonable!
As for performance, it's a tacky rubber that generates speed, but I also think it gets plenty of spin. Short game shots stop well, and smashes fly through properly. Now that Skyline has been discontinued, I feel like this rubber is the closest thing to it. Stop shots are also really easy to do.
I think this would be great for junior high or high schoolers making their first switch to a tacky rubber. It paired perfectly with my Infinity.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

It's about a light tack. The topsheet isn't hard either, and it grips the ball well, so you can produce powerful drives.
