    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Volley is highly regarded as a cut-specialized rubber with excellent control and spin characteristics. However, weak attacking power and a tendency to produce flat balls are commonly noted drawbacks.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent cutting performance and stability
    • Superior control characteristics
    • Resistant to opponent's spin influence
    • Weak attacking power and insufficient speed
    • Strong against condition changes
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe catch is excellent and there is no tackiness, so there is no worry about condition changes due to humidity. Cutting is easy, and with good technique, considerable spin can be applied.
    ▽ CriticalAttacking power is hopeless, and even when flicking or looping, there is insufficient speed, resulting in flat balls during hard hits and drives.

      Both forehand and backhand chops are consistent, but the attacking game is weak. If your impact is strong enough you can hit a decent smash, but hard hits and topspin drives lack speed and tend to come out as straight, easy-to-read shots that get countered easily. It's a rubber for grinding out points with chops, but since the control is high, I think it shines best when you're using your chops to place the ball to different spots on the court.

      It's more than good enough for chopping,
      but since it's soft, when you smash or counter with a topspin drive it tends to come out as a flat, spinless ball.
      I'd recommend it for anyone who just wants to practice chopping.

      The topsheet grips the ball really well, but it's not tacky at all.

      It feels like a control-oriented rubber such as Flextra or Alffield, just with the surface friction bumped up.

      Unlike tacky rubbers, it's not overly sensitive to the opponent's spin, so chopping is really easy overall.

      With tacky rubbers, the condition can change depending on things like humidity, making the tackiness weaker or stronger,
      but you don't have to worry about that with this one.

      It's a bit plain, but it's a good rubber.

      Eriko Kitaoka, who was one of Japan's top chop players, used this for a long time, didn't she.

      I put the medium sponge version on the forehand side of my Liberta Willow.
      It doesn't bounce much and has no tackiness, so it's not affected much by the opponent's power or spin. On top of that, if you have the technique, you can still get a lot of spin on it.
      As for attacking, it's usable as a combination with chopping, just enough to throw off the opponent's timing.
      For someone who wants to focus purely on defense, I think it's a good rubber.
      Also, since you can't expect much from attacking with it, I think it's good for someone who wants to properly learn how to chop.

      It has a bit of an anti-spin feel to it, but it does put spin on the ball. Also, against the opponent's powerful drives, the rubber slides in a good way, and the soft sponge absorbs the power. Also, when the opponent hits a light shot, the ball sinks into the rubber, so your chops come out with heavy spin, which makes it easy to fall into a "chop versus drive" rally pattern. It's also easy to produce knuckle chops. The sound when you chop is quiet, so apparently it's hard for opponents to tell whether it was a "heavily spun chop" or a "knuckle chop" just from the sound.

      I'm using the thick version.
      If you swing with a whippy arm motion, you can hit forehand topspin drives that really punch through.
      You can easily adjust the power depending on how hard you hit it.
      The backhand topspin drive also gets plenty of spin.
      A rubber I'd recommend.

      It lacks attacking power, but for sinking the ball into the sponge on chops and for stability, it's outstanding.
