    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    The fast ball release and high-speed performance are highly praised, while the hardness of the sheet requires adaptation for short serves and near-net techniques. It is recognized as a rubber suitable for aggressive players who prioritize speed.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Fast ball release enables powerful spin-drive shots
    • Hard sheet produces sharp, well-cut serves
    • Short serves and near-net techniques require practice
    • Good balance between spin and speed capabilities
    • High control performance but needs fast swing speed
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe thick, firm sheet grips the ball well, providing excellent control. Improves drive accuracy and consistency. It's a versatile rubber that meets the needs of many players, similar to Tenergy 80.
    ▽ CriticalShort serves tend to float and are difficult to control, requiring time to adapt. Near-net techniques are also challenging to execute with this rubber.

      Front team haste (Experience: 4〜5 years) A speed-oriented tension rubber!

      Reviews by user

      This is a rubber from a brand I'd never heard of before (lol). I found out about it because a friend was using it. It has really fast ball release, and combined with the hardness of the sponge, the speed is just insane. On the other hand, control and the short game were hard to pull off with it. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to prioritize speed above all else.

      Jin (Experience: 2〜3 years) A spin-oriented tension rubber with refreshing speed

      Reviews by user

      At first I felt like it flew too much, but once I got used to it, I could hit drives with a real sense of speed that my opponents couldn't react to. Also, maybe because I was using a plywood blade, the trajectory was low, but it still came out fine.
      For serves, the sheet is hard, so you can produce sharp, biting serves. Spin does get on the ball, but since the ball releases quickly, it's hard to really feel it. Control is basically easy, and when serving long you can easily produce fast, extending serves, but on the other hand, short serves tend to fly and are hard to keep in check, so short serves take some getting used to. With a bit of practice I got used to it.
      Lastly
      Before using this rubber, I'd heard it was similar to G1, but I don't think it's that similar. G1 has a softer sheet than Nexxus EL Pro 48, which makes it easier to chip, and it tended to be easier to produce short receives and serves. On the other hand, Nexxus EL Pro 48's sheet is harder than G1's, so the grip was strong and it was harder to chip — which I liked. However, it tends to fly until you get used to it, so it took a bit of adjustment. Still, what these two had in common was that spin got on automatically and the way the ball flew felt similar.

      Matsuko (Experience: 2〜3 years) Flies off the racket

      Reviews by user

      Bought it brand new, unused, from a flea market app.
      Pros: It's just fast, period. The ball flies off before it even really grabs. It's barely affected by incoming spin, which was great against topspin. On the short game, when it doesn't bounce, it really doesn't bounce at all. Good feel against topspin.
      Cons: On serves, it's hard to feel like you're getting spin on the ball.
      Hard to lift against backspin.
      A bit heavy — 51.2g at max thickness.
      Summary: Recommended for players who rely on flicking/hitting technique.

      Homoko (Experience: 4〜5 years) Results may vary, but I strongly recommend this to intermediate-and-above players

      Reviews by user

      If I had to compare this rubber to another one, I'd say it's like Tenergy 80.
      It leans more toward the speed category, but it manages to balance spin and speed while still being controllable, which is great.
      Also, the sheet is strong and on the thicker side, so it really grips the ball. That's why the control is so impressive.
      That said, it's a bit on the hard side, so if you prefer something softer, there's also a 43-degree version, so maybe give that a try.
      In my case, my drives got more precise than before and started going in a lot more, so I really like it.
      I had some teammates from my club try it too, and a lot of them liked it, so I think it's an all-around rubber that meets a lot of people's needs.
      This rubber is sold by WRM, but it's probably not available at other shops, so keep that in mind.
      Personally, I found stops a bit tricky to do, but other than that it's very stable and consistent (though this may vary by person)

      Mr. Silent (Experience: 6〜10 years) Speed-focused but handles everything well, for intermediate-advanced players

      Reviews by user

      The ball comes off fast, but the flight distance is kept modest, so it's easy to handle while still getting good spin.
      Serves bite well too and are easy to use.
      Pushes and stops land on the table without floating.
      It sounds like nothing but good things, but unless your swing speed is fast enough, topspin drives won't get much spin. Also, blocks are affected somewhat by the opponent's spin (though the return is still fast), so some caution is needed there.
