Usui A rubber that pops the ball up
-
2022/12/02
It just flies upward, above all else.
The first time you hit with it, it goes up so much you can't control your shots.
After about an hour of hitting, it settles into the right range.
Against backspin it's the strongest, but against topspin it might fly way too much.
The sponge feels soft for a tacky rubber.
To put it modestly, it's amazing!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Close-to-table fast attack (Experience: ４〜５ years) Yasaka's finest tacky rubber

Both spin and speed performance are high, letting you control the ball however you like. It feels a bit similar in performance to Bluestorm Pro AM, but this one is noticeably harder, so it suits hard hitters. It works whether you brush the ball or sink it in deep, so if you can master it, it becomes a powerful weapon.
For blades, I'd recommend something from the Innerforce line. The semi-tacky sheet pairs really well with an inner fiber layer.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I used it at max thickness on the backside of a penhold-with-pips setup. Compared to Z, the overall average level is higher across the board, including the sharpness and stability of pushes, and in both good and bad ways, it doesn't get wild. This one is heavier and less flexible about thickness, but I think its absolute ceiling is higher than Z (or Hurricane Pro, or other tacky tension rubbers from other makers). It works on the backhand too, but I think it really shows its true strength on the forehand side.

I thought this was a rubber that has the power to blow through a shot in one hit, while also handling control-based techniques like the short game perfectly! The spin performance felt equal to or better than 09C, and the way it roughs up the ball, so characteristic of German tension rubber, was so pronounced that an opponent told me, in a good way, "the ball is so dirty it's annoying, I can't handle it, lol." The speed leaves nothing to be desired either, the sheet quality is top-notch, and it absolutely never chips! I personally feel it's even better than 09C on the backhand, so I'll be using this for a while (probably forever). (09C's performance was so good I felt I couldn't bring out its full potential with my own skill, and I also feel German rubbers — manual rather than automatic — suit me better than Japanese ones.) As for blades, it paired well with ones that hold and launch the ball properly, like the Harimoto ALC, the Arnaid Inner, the Falck Carbon which isn't sold in Japan (basically Yasaka's version of something like a Long 5), the Ver.D, and the Cyber Shape.

Used on my forehand. I'm a 2nd-year junior high student on the table tennis team, not attending any table tennis academy. My previous rubber was lighter, so even accounting for that, this felt heavy, which let me swing harder. The spin is pretty strong too, being a semi-tacky rubber. Also, once you get the knack, it lifts backspin balls easily. It flies noticeably upward, so I had a lot of overshooting misses at first, but I think someone more advanced than me would adjust quickly. It goes up quite a lot, but that's because the strong grip and tackiness lift the ball upward — it doesn't actually bounce that much, so serves stay in control just fine. If you want to beat players ranked above you, I'd recommend this rubber. Tacky rubber produces awkward, quirky balls, so if you're confident you can swing through properly and keep the ball on the table, I think it's better to stop playing it safe and swing away. Using this rubber and swinging hard on my drives, I was able to beat a chopper who placed highly at the prefectural tournament. That said, in intense rallies I still had a lot of overshooting misses, so I want to keep practicing.

I used it on both sides! I'm sticking with this setup! Paired with the Reinforce SI, the wood-like ball-holding feel of the Reinforce SI combined beautifully with the nice, moderate bounce typical of carbon — it was the best!

Just like it says in the headline, for the first week I was thinking "what is this garbage rubber, I'm switching to something else the second I've saved up enough money," but as I kept practicing with it, it got to the point where I couldn't imagine using anything else — it's just the strongest. Especially on flicks, the tackiness really lifts the ball, and just a slight extra push after that gives it tremendous acceleration. It's also really easy to override the opponent's spin and send it back, so as long as you watch out for overshooting, you're basically unstoppable!
