Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary

Widely supported by cutmen and defensive players, this rubber is praised for its unique characteristics combining features of pimpled and smooth soft rubbers. The ability to switch between knuckle balls and clean cut shots to confuse opponents, combined with excellent control, is the main reason for its high evaluation.

■ Frequently Mentioned Points

Easy to alternate between knuckle and cut shots to mislead opponents
More linear trajectory than pimpled rubber with attacking capability
Excellent control performance suitable for beginners
Versatility through thickness options (medium for cutmen, ultra-thin for front attack)
Limited speed and spin but compensated by variation

■ Representative Voices

▲ PositiveOffers pimpled-rubber-level cutting ability during cuts while maintaining attacking capability typical of smooth rubbers, with superior control performance. Ideal for cutmen transitioning from pimpled to smooth rubber.

▽ CriticalFeels low in power and difficult for spin drives. Not ideal for orthodox front-attack players using consistent spin techniques.

Matsushita Koji DEF with the middle rubber attached, used on the backhand.
Forehand: Hurricane Turbo Blue
I'm a defensive player (cutman).

【Push】
It cuts well.

It cuts enough to prevent speed drives from coming, and if you hit it with less force, it becomes a knuckleball.

The trajectory was fairly linear.

It seems that some technique is needed to avoid hitting a straight ball, perhaps because it's difficult to brush on the table.

【Cut】
Even against slow balls, you can cut them to some extent if you brush them properly.

Because of the spin reversal, it's a little difficult to produce a knuckleball against loops or powerful shots.

Because it's a half-pips rubber, the trajectory has a sliding feel, and when cutting loops, it's possible to produce a relaxed ball typical of long pips.

【Attack】
Pushes on the table are quite stable.
Also, jumping backhand smashes are fairly successful.

However, it seems that it takes some skill to come forward and produce a fast block.

It cuts somewhat against knuckleballs and downwards, but I felt that increasing the swing speed and brushing the ball was important.

The feeling was that it had a strong manual-like change, similar to the Feint Long III.
