    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Kyokuhyo NEO 2 is gaining exceptional reviews for its unparalleled spin generation, establishing itself as the premier sticky rubber for advanced players focused on spin-dominant tactics and Chinese-style play. However, its low speed and demanding technique requirements limit appeal to aggressive attacking players or defensive players in distant positions.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Extraordinary spin quantity surpasses other rubbers, devastating in drives and cuts
    • Low bounce and slow ball speed unsuitable for speed-focused attacks
    • Excellent short-game techniques with strong stickiness for serves and pushes
    • Requires significant skill and strength due to high sensitivity to opponent spin
    • Optimized for close-to-table play, insufficient distance for back-court positions
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe spin application is extraordinary, producing heavy balls that confuse opponents. Switching from tension rubber reveals remarkable spin generation and ball trajectory that exceeds expectations.
    ▽ CriticalThe lack of bounce makes it very difficult for players without sufficient strength, and it is better suited for those who remain in front positions rather than retreating from the table.

      YO man that you can not type when you are stop but to cut (Experience: 4〜5 years) A rubber that loved spin, and was loved by spin

      Reviews by user

      I'm a chopper.
      I started using this rubber in the spring of my second year of junior high.
      Back then, I was still using a tension rubber.
      My chops didn't have much spin, and I struggled with it every day.
      So I decided to try using a tacky rubber (Hurricane).
      It was my first tacky rubber. I couldn't stop feeling excited.
      Then it arrived, and I started using it.
      At first, I was surprised by how little it bounced. But little by little I got used to it, and I tried hitting a topspin drive.
      The spin that came off it was incredible. My chops became just as sharp too.
      After that, my opponents started making overshoot mistakes and hitting the net over and over.
      And then, at some point, my worry about lacking spin had disappeared.
      The short game and serves are easy too. Sinking topspin drives are simple as well. But it's easily affected by the opponent's spin, and you don't get much distance when playing away from the table.
      Even so, I found myself thinking, could there really be such a great rubber.
      If you're struggling with not being able to put spin on the ball, I really want you to try it. Of course, it works whether you're a drive player or a chopper.
      Now that I'm in high school, I'm still using this rubber. I can't go back to tension rubber anymore.
      I'm sure I'll keep using this rubber for a long time to come.

      Ma Long mania (Experience: 6〜10 years)

      Reviews by user

      I have this on the forehand of my Ma Long carbon blade. It puts more spin on the ball than any other tacky rubber, and the attacking power is high. Serves also go in cleanly, and above all, the drives are just incredible.

      I put this on because I wanted to hit power drives like the Chinese players, copying their style. The speed is decent, but for spin, it's the best inverted rubber there is.

      Spin! Spin! Spin! Amazing amount of spin! When you hit a loop drive, the way the ball dips down is incredible, lol.
      The speed feels like the bare minimum! It's easily affected by your opponent's spin, so it's for advanced players. On top of that, both letting the ball sink in and generating speed take quite a lot of muscle! I'd recommend it to people who admire Chinese players, or anyone who wants to attack with spin!

      Cornerman (Experience: 2〜3 years) Spin amount is just huge

      Reviews by user

      Anyway, the amount of spin was huge.
      It also had that characteristic wavy, arcing trajectory unique to Hurricane.
      Brushing the ball increases the spin, but if you let the ball sink into the sponge instead, it doesn't spin as much.
      The speed isn't all that fast, so I think it's for people who want to win through spin.
      For serves and pushes, brushing gives you a sharp cut. That said, since it's easily affected by the opponent's spin, when there's sidespin on the incoming ball, I felt it's better to match/adjust to it.

      PARADOX (Experience: 2〜3 years) Doesn't bounce

      Reviews by user

      The spin is amazing. But it doesn't bounce at all, so if you don't have much power, it might be a really tough rubber to use.
      It's recommended for people who mostly play close to the table.

      It's a tacky tension rubber, but it barely bounces at all compared to regular tension rubbers. That said, the amount of spin is insane! In terms of the total package of spin and speed, it's extremely high performance. It's obviously great for choppers, but I also think it's good for attacking players who prioritize spin!
