    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly praised as a high-elasticity rubber excelling in smashes and counterattacks, though its drive performance is inferior to conventional tension rubbers, resulting in significantly divided opinions depending on playing style. Particularly favored by aggressive front-court players and those emphasizing short-range techniques.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Smashes and flat hits are easy with characteristic low, direct trajectories
    • Unique ball feel combining table tennis racket sensation with spin generation
    • Excellent stability in short-range techniques like pushing and serving
    • Drive is possible but cannot generate intense spin like spin-dominant rubbers
    • Exceptional cost-performance ratio with high performance at reasonable price
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveSmashes and counter-smashes are extremely easy to execute with reliable stability even from poor positioning. Unlike table tennis rackets, it lacks slipping sensation and delivers penetrating low trajectories that become significant weapons.
    ▽ CriticalOffers little advantage to players whose primary weapon is drive techniques. Can result in uncontrollable flat shots and smashes going out, requiring compatibility with harder rackets for optimal performance.

      This might be true of any rubber, but it definitely takes some patience to get used to.

      You can do topspin drives with it, but honestly, it feels pretty difficult.
      When I occasionally hit with a tension rubber, I'm reminded all over again how grateful I should be that tension balls just go in on their own lol


      That said, there are plenty of upsides to using the Goriki Kaisoku.

      First, it's great for the short game.
      On top of that, there's a reassuring feeling that shots go in naturally even when your form isn't set, like on chop blocks.
      It also produces knuckle balls and other variation that opponents hate.

      It might narrow the range of skills you develop, but in exchange you get a more specialized style.

      Novice little boy (Experience: 4〜5 years) Seems to suit drive players better

      Reviews by user

      I normally use Renanos Hold, but since it was discontinued, I checked with the manufacturer about a similar rubber and they recommended this one, so I tried it. I used it at 1.8mm thick. Light meet-hits come out feeling great with a nice straight trajectory, but with hard meet-hits or smashes, it becomes uncontrollable and sails long like a beam of light. Light hits feel close to Renanos, but hard hits feel like a completely different animal. In the end, I got better results by sinking the ball in and brushing for a proper topspin drive, so I stopped relying on meet-hits as much. It's marketed as "fast" and "specialized for smashing," but it's not particularly fast and smashing isn't especially easy either, so personally I find it a rather mediocre rubber. It might pair better with a harder blade.

      Table tennis fan (Experience: 4〜5 years) God of flat hitting

      Reviews by user

      This rubber is just really easy to hit meet shots, smashes, and counter-smashes with!
      Serves had decent bite too, and pushes were easy.
      The downside is that topspin drives were harder to hit than with the currently popular spin-oriented tension rubbers.
      But it's definitely still possible to put spin on the ball.
      This is a rubber that gets you motivated to just crush smash after smash!
      Please give it a try!!

      Ah (Experience: 2〜3 years) Short pips that's easy to lift with

      Reviews by user

      Used red, thick.

      Sheet... doesn't grip the ball that much, pips are just slightly high and thick.

      Sponge... cream-colored sponge, the bubbles are extremely small so it's hard.

      Feel on contact... doesn't bounce all that much, you can feel the hardness, it has that "clack clack" feel of a tacky rubber (though it depends on the blade combination too).

      Topspin drives... the trajectory is fairly straight, and if you angle the racket down too much it goes straight into the net.
      It's quite hard, so it's tough to sink the ball in, and the grip isn't amazing either, so it's hard to put really strong spin on drives. But it lifts the ball just fine.
      The speed is very fast — even a top coach from the prefectural tournament could get blown past easily unless they really focused on their placement.

      Meet-hitting... it really feels like hitting with short pips. The speed is more than enough, and you can blow through opponents with this too.

      Blocking... comes back with good speed. You can't get as much knuckle variation as with short pips though.


      This is a rubber I'd want people to try if they feel short pips make it hard to lift the ball.

      Heterogenous self-destructive type (Experience: 6〜10 years) My recommended rubber

      Reviews by user

      I'm pairing this with a Tornado King Power. Before, I used a Chinese rubber and thought it felt off, but with this there was no such discomfort. Meet-hitting is easy, and the speed is ridiculous, so counters land in one shot. I'd want people to try this rubber at least once even if they're not into the Oji style of table tennis.

      And out (Experience: 2〜3 years) Good for smash-oriented players

      Reviews by user

      I'm a smash-oriented player. Used at max thickness.
      I'll get straight to it — I love this rubber!!!!!!!
      If I had to sum this rubber up simply, it's a "short pips rubber that actually spins."
      Punch shots are easier to hit with this than with a normal inverted rubber.
      Topspin drives are hard to hit. But since you can punch the ball mercilessly, that's not much of a problem.
      I absolutely cannot recommend this to loopers.
      Obviously, it's only suited to Oji-style table tennis.
      I think it's really good for smash-oriented players and players who play an all-round close-to-the-table style.

      Cut man aiming for the first stage (Experience: 11〜20 years) Great value for money!

      Reviews by user

      I put the thick version on my forehand.
      To the touch, it feels like a fairly hard rubber.
      I'm comparing it to Fastarc G1 and Hurricane Turbo Orange.
      "Serve"
      It bites the ball fine. But since it's a harder rubber, I'd say this is about what you'd expect.
      Fastarc G1 grips more.
      "Attacking technique"
      First, the smash, which I had high hopes for — it really is easy to hit.
      But in terms of power, it loses out to Fastarc G1 and Hurricane.
      I think that's probably because the bounce is a bit understated.
      It's more of a stability-over-power type.
      Topspin drives grip more than I expected!
      But again, this favors stability, so it gets a bit tough when you're forced back from the table.
      "Defensive technique"
      Pushes bite sharply and stay consistent.
      Chops do go in, but only if you hit through the ball firmly.
      I wouldn't really recommend this to choppers.
      Blocks are stable and go in well, and countering is easy too.
      "Recommended playing style"
      Players who play close to the table, junior high and high school loopers.
      "Summary"
      Overall it has good stability and you can play with confidence. That said, there were quite a few things that felt lacking, so I've decided not to keep using it long term.
      Still, at 4,000 yen, the value for money is good, so I think it's a nice rubber for junior high and high schoolers, or for parents playing casually.
