    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly rated by aggressive, speed-focused players, but opinions are divided as some beginners and spin-focused players find the hard sheet difficult to use. Recognized as a high-performance rubber for advanced players.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Hard sheet makes the ball fly linearly; sharp speed drives and counters cut through the net
    • Spin performance rivals Tenergy 05; serves with strong grip and control
    • Excels at rallies away from the table and flat hits; ideal for aggressive play
    • Difficult to handle with upward swing or backspin techniques; requires forward swing
    • Demanding for advanced players only; some durability concerns reported
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveWith a hard sheet, drives and counters strike sharply and penetrate deep into the opponent's court with outstanding speed and spin. Similar to Tenergy, this high-performance rubber excels in all techniques with aggressive strokes and delivers powerful results.
    ▽ CriticalThe hard rubber is difficult to handle and doesn't suit players who swing upward. This quirky rubber is designed for forward-swing players; beginners should consider Fastrack instead. Durability issues arise in non-sticky conditions.

      D16 (Experience:2〜3 years) The best!

      Reviews by user

      YouTuber etc. often say that it does not take much rotation, but I think that it is better than g-1 without that.
      It's easy to drive, smash, etc. because it flies quite a bit with just a little hit!

      Equipment maker high school student (Experience:4〜5 years) Blazing fast! Straight line! Piercing through! The sound is insane!

      Reviews by user

      I used the 1.9mm thickness on both sides.
      The bounce is quite strong, and the sheet is on the harder side.
      It's great for powerful drives; it has good grip, producing straight, super-fast balls. Unfortunately, drives where you rub the sheet don't work as well. This rubber lets you unleash its potential by hitting and connecting with the ball. Not recommended for those with sensitive backhands. If you're using Dig and think "the bounce is too high, the arc is too much," then this is for you. Recommended for close to the table and mid-court play. The feel of hitting the ball is a crisp, booster-like sound! It's really good! The sheet is sensitive right after applying it, so I found it easier to use after using it for about a week to break it in. The lifespan of the sheet after that is about two months. Even if the sheet wears out, the sponge still provides good bounce, so it's still perfectly usable. I think it lasts quite a while. You can buy this performance for 5000 yen, so it's good value for money. These days, rubbers costing 8000 to 10000 yen or more are commonplace, but Nittaku is impressive.

      Ordinary person (Experience:2〜3 years) Recommended for those who like soft rubber!

      Reviews by user

      I used a custom-made Hammond Z2.

      The softness was evident even with light strokes!

      Techniques I found easy: Drive, Smash, Push

      Techniques I found difficult: Block, Serve

      I found offensive techniques like drives and smashes very easy.

      I felt that blocks dropped too easily, and the spin on serves wasn't great.

      I would recommend this to people who like soft rubbers!

      Koki Niwa tried out the extra-thick shaft on his wood.
      The feel was firm, as expected from a German 50-degree hardness shaft.

      I felt that it was particularly good for underspin shots, counters, and slightly lowered shots.
      I really liked it because the sheet was very strong and didn't fall off.

    • (Experience:4〜5 years) Strong rotation and non-slip feel

      Reviews by user

      I used a custom-made 35-degree club.
      Even though it was a custom-made version, the seat was hard, so the feel of the ball was a bit hard.
      It has a strong grip and is reliable for any technique.
      It can generate strong spin, especially on serves and pushes.
      However, I felt that its lifespan was a bit short.

    • katsuo000_2

      katsuo000_2 (Experience:More than 20 years) High-end Japanese rubber that looks like it was made in Germany!

      Reviews by user

      Max, red.
      69 g → 49 g
      Shore C hardness 43.2° measured from the seat side
      D05: 48g, 50.0°
      T05: 47g, 44.6°
      1. Made in Japan, but easy to counter like German rubber!
      2. Powerful drive!
      3. A good, cheaper version of Dignics!
      Made in Japan, but has a German feel in a good way, aggressive rubber that can stand up to the opponent's drive. The tension is strong, so it feels like it bounces strongly, and I felt it was an aggressive rubber. The drive penetrates, and at the same time, it is easy to counter, aggressive, and I felt that it was very much to my liking.
      I have also reviewed it at https://katsuo000.com/, so please refer to it.
