    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Evaluated as an advanced-level rubber with high attacking performance, but opinions are divided. While speed and spin performance are excellent, the high hardness requires significant skill to master control, making user skill level a major factor in ratings.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Terrifyingly fast speed with straight trajectory on hard hits
    • Excellent spin performance for serves and drives
    • Hard sheet makes it unsuitable for beginners and intermediate players
    • Difficult to control without adequate power and technique
    • Some users report superior performance compared to Tenergy 05
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveFast speed with sufficient spin, very strong when used by powerful advanced players. More spin and power than Tenergy, producing extremely heavy balls when properly compressed.
    ▽ CriticalThe hard sponge causes balls to drop when hit imprecisely, requiring significant technical skill. Bouncy on backhand making it difficult to adapt, making it a very challenging rubber for beginners and intermediate players.

      Ponta (Experience: 6〜10 years) It feels smooth and soft, but...

      Reviews by user

      The sheet is really tacky and moist, and the feel was softer than I expected just from touching it.
      However, I think control stands out more than spin here.
      Rather than gripping the ball and putting spin on it, it feels more like it wraps around the ball and sends it out. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to prioritize control.

      Land (Experience: Less than a year) Not affected by spin. Very fast

      Reviews by user

      Serve: Very easy to put spin on.
      Drive: The ball sinks in a bit less, but it gives an impression of flying in a straight line.
      Block: Since the sponge is thick, it really flies - you can block back almost anything!
      Short game: Chiquita is difficult, but flicks are very fast and easy to use.
      Counter: Doesn't lose out to the opponent's spin, and you can hit it even away from the table, so countering is easy.
      Other: Lobbing is possible but control is very difficult. That said, playing from farther back is an advantage.

      Thompson (Experience: 11〜20 years) Used on backhand

      Reviews by user

      I used this on my backhand.
      It felt harder than the GFT48.

      Control is good, and when I really put spin on a drive, the amount of spin exceeded the GFT48. That said, the GFT48 was easier to generate spin with in general.
      The short game is relatively stable too.
      Meeting-the-ball type techniques felt easier than with the GFT48.

      As long as you really commit to putting spin on the ball, this rubber has the performance to surpass the GFT48.

      Viscaria Hmm...

      Reviews by user

      I saw on some blog that this is similar to the V>15 Extra, so I want to compare it to that.
      First, on bounce, the GF Pro is better. Even with a compact drive swing, the ball just flies off. If I focused on spin over speed on my drive it became too slow, and it still flew long anyway.
      As for spin, I'd say the V>15 Extra wins for me. It's easier to generate spin with, and while the V>15 Extra gives you that momentary feeling of holding the ball, it also delivers speed, so the shot is extremely stable. For serves, what matters to me is placement, height, and spin, and it suited that well. The GF Pro does grip the ball too, but
      you really have to brush it very thin to get any spin at all, and honestly the amount of spin didn't feel like all that much. Stops and other short-game shots are also easier with the V>15 Extra, so it feels like the only thing the GF Pro really has going for it is the bounce.
      It wasn't as good a rubber as I'd hoped. I'll stick with the V>15 Extra instead. As a similar rubber, andro's Plaxon 525(?) came to mind. I'm about intermediate level, but I couldn't get used to it - the moment I hit with it, I thought this rubber wasn't for me. That said, it might be a rubber that even advanced players wouldn't find satisfying.

      Sou (Experience: 2〜3 years) Speed-focused

      Reviews by user

      I felt this rubber excels at speed. Its strength is that flicks are easy to pull off. Once you get the angle right, it lets you hit fast flicks like Niwa. My pushes were sharp too! The weakness is stability - on drives, the ball grips too much and I kept netting shots one after another. I think it's pretty tough to handle without a fair amount of power.

      It's hard, so control is difficult, but the spin and speed are excellent.

      Yukkuri Michinaga What speed!

      Reviews by user

      First off, the speed is frighteningly fast.

      Also, being heavy is a key characteristic.
