    Spring Spong technology combined with a hard sponge and a sticky top-sheet make this a very dynamic rubber.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly praised for exceptional spin performance, but requires strong technique and is heavy. Frequently compared to Tenergy 05, it appeals to spin-focused players and defensive specialists.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Overwhelming spin comparable to or exceeding Tenergy 05
    • Spring sponge design grips the ball well; manageable despite hardness
    • Prioritizes rotation over speed with excellent stability
    • Outstanding short game techniques with sharp, clean strokes
    • Requires power to use; weaknesses include weight and humidity sensitivity
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe spring sponge allows for incredibly high-quality spin balls when using an engulfing stroke. Better ball quality than Tenergy 05, combining the best of tension and sticky rubbers.
    ▽ CriticalPerformance deteriorates after about 1.5 months of use, becoming just a hard rubber. Also extremely weak to humidity; spin fails to grip on rainy days.

      The ball grips well and sinks into the rubber easily, so drives are easy to put spin on. Blocks are stable on the backhand too. It's a tacky rubber, but since it's light, even people who lack confidence in their strength can use it well.

      Sho-go (Experience: 11〜20 years) For spin-focused players

      Reviews by user

      A friend had this on their blade and let me try hitting with it.

      My first impression was that the bounce is less than Tenergy or other spin-oriented tension rubbers.
      But the spin is outstanding.

      Coming from someone who normally uses tension rubber, there's a lot about the performance that really feels tacky.
      On the other hand, people who normally use hardcore tacky rubbers apparently feel like this doesn't feel very tacky at all.

      The listed hardness is high, but when you actually hit with it, it doesn't feel that hard, and you can dig into the ball.
      The short game feels easy since, true to a tacky rubber, the ball doesn't fly around unpredictably.

      I'd recommend this rubber to people who want speed out of a tacky rubber, people who didn't like tacky rubber but want spin-focused play, and people who play relatively close to the table.

      It's heavier than Tenergy 05 and falls into the "hefty" category, so if you're conscious of your blade's overall weight, you might want to be careful.

      Sticky rubber lover (Experience: 4〜5 years) Soft

      Reviews by user

      Compared to Hurricane, it was too soft, which made brushing shots difficult. The speed was better than Hurricane's though, which was nice. The push tended to pop up high, making it hard to use. Chops bit really sharply, which was great.

      Yukiusagi (Experience: 6〜10 years) Performance most people never notice - a hidden genius

      Reviews by user

      This is truly a gem. I honestly don't understand why other people don't even try it and don't rate it highly.
      The grip on the ball is excellent for a tacky rubber, and once it grabs the ball, it comes flying back out at high speed.
      The spin amount falls a bit short of Hurricane, but it's not even in the same league as something like Tenergy.
      You could call it a god-tier rubber - great for serves, great for receives, great for chops, great for drives. Honestly, it would be more than a shame if this stays niche and gets discontinued.

      Kato Tail Ryonosuke (Experience: 11〜20 years) The ultimate rubber

      Reviews by user

      It's really easy to get spin on the ball, and the speed comes out too. Since it uses a spring sponge, it grips even more.

      Spin Art (Experience: 4〜5 years) The feel changes a lot depending on the blade

      Reviews by user

      I use it on a Timo Boll ALC, and the feel is quite different compared to using it on a blade without special material. To be specific:
      - With special material (especially outer-carbon)
      You can get a lot of spin and speed, but the control is quite poor. Also, the feel on impact is more like a "pop." The smash has incredible destructive power. Oddly, the smash is easy to control.
      - With pure wood or inner-carbon (flexible blades)
      The spin is the same as or even more than with special material, but the speed drops quite a bit compared to outer-carbon, making it more spin-focused. Control also becomes much better (about the same as Tenergy 05).
      Fukuhara's Spinart is probably customized quite a bit to fit her personally, and just because Liu Shiwen uses it on her backhand doesn't mean you should try using it on your backhand too. It's too hard for backhand use.

      Freitas Hohohohoho (Experience: More than 20 years) Spin

      Reviews by user

      I'd recommend this to people who aren't good at driving. If you tend to overshoot when driving, you should use this rubber. Since it's tacky, the speed drops a bit, but that's way better than overshooting, and it's definitely the better trade-off. It also uses a spring sponge, so it grabs even more spin.
