  MANTRA M

  

  After putting a topspin drive on the 3rd ball, what do you do next?

  That's where opinions on this rubber split.

  A: Go for a hard flat hit to put it away
  B: Keep attacking with topspin drives

  If you're a "B" type player, you might not rate this one that highly.

  Anyway, this rubber makes flat-hitting techniques really easy to pull off.
  Whether it's putting the ball away on the 5th ball off a 3rd-ball drive, countering an opponent's drive, or flat-hitting a backspin ball away in one shot, it gives you the same kind of consistency every time.

  On top of that, the short game is easy too.
  Rubbers that are easy to flat-hit with tend to pop up too much on light taps, but with the Mantra you don't need to worry about that — pushes bite in nice and sharp, and blocks are easy to keep stable.

  The grip is good, so if you brush it lightly, you can even get a loop drive to spin.

  
  This is a rubber I'd really recommend for the backhand side of a shakehand player who does a lot of flat-hitting, or for the forehand side of someone who's used to always following up a topspin drive with a smash.

  
  The "Goriki Kaisoku," which is also said to be good for flat-hitting, pairs well with a harder blade, but I'd recommend a softer blade for the Mantra. Five-ply wood, or an inner-carbon-type special blade.

  Because it draws a "moderate, slight arc" on flat-hit shots, this rubber gives you outstanding consistency.

  3球目でドライブをかけたあと、次球をどうするか。

  そこが、このラバーの評価の分かれ目です。

  A 強めにぶち当てて抜きにいく
  B ドライブで攻めていく

  この中でBを選ぶ人は、高い評価は付けにくいかも。

  とにかく、このラバーは、ミート系の打法がやりやすいんです。
  3球目からの、5球目ぶち抜きも、対ドライブのカウンターも、あるいは対下回転を一発でぶち抜くミートも、同じような安定感があります。

  それに加えて台上がやりやすい。
  ミートがやりやすいラバーは軽打で弾んでしまいがちですが、マントラはその心配なくツッツキがガッツリ切れますし、ブロックも安定させやすい。

  引っ掛かりが良いのでチョリっとかけるとループもかかる。

  
  弾くことが多いシェークのバック側や、

  「ドライブかけたら次球はスマッシュ」が染みついている人のフォア側に、ぜひ使ってもらいたいラバーです。

  
  同じくミート向けと言われる「剛力快速」は、硬めのラケットが合わせやすいですが、
  マントラは柔らかめを推奨します。木材なら5枚。特殊ならインナー系。

  ミート系で「程よいわずかな弧線」を描いてくれるので、抜群の安定感が生まれるラバーです。

  V＞01 Stiff

  

  Because of the "01" in the name, some people seem to think it's speed-focused, but it's actually a high-arc type rubber, completely opposite to V>01.
  If anything, it's an arc monster (lol).

  As a substitute for the 05, I think this is probably the best option out there.

  It spins automatically, the ball feels like it lifts on its own, and the amount of spin is considerable.

  Compared to Rakza or Fastarc, the automatic feel is even stronger, which is probably why I don't find it as easy to use for flat hitting as the 05.
  Like the 05 or Rasanter R, it's a rubber specialized for topspin drives.

  
  VICTAS' flagship has recently shifted to the V>15, but for the average player, I think the Stiff lets you bring out its potential more easily than the 15.

  On top of that, the list price of 4,800 yen — under 5,000 yen — is quite a bargain.

  01の名前がついているので、スピード重視と思われている人もいるようですが、V>01とは完全に真逆の、弧線タイプのラバーです。
  むしろ、弧線モンスター(笑)。

  05の代替ラバーとしては、おそらくこれが一番ではないかな、と思います。

  自動で回転がかかる、勝手に持ち上がる感じがあり、回転量は相当なもの。

  ラクザやファスタークよりも、オートマチック感は強く、そのためか、ミート系に関しては、05同様に、やりやすいとは思いません。
  05やラザンターRのように、ドライブ特化のラバーですね。

  
  最近、ヴィクタスの主力は、V>15に移行していますが、一般人が使うには、15よりも、スティフの方が力を発揮させやすいと思います。

  なおかつ、定価で4800円という、5千円を切る破格は、かなり魅力的です。

  SEPTEARLEAD

  

  Best not to think of this as a real 7-ply blade.
  On hard hits it does feel a bit 7-ply-like, but overall it feels more like a bouncy 5-ply blade.

  Most recent 5-ply blades tend to have a firm surface ply that's clearly meant to pair with tacky rubber,

  but the Septier Reed isn't like that — it flexes well and follows the style of gripping the ball and launching it from there.

  Comparing the feel on contact, it's a completely different blade from the Septier.

  It's not just for beginners either — it has enough bounce to satisfy advanced players who care about that wood-grip feel.

  A great blade I'd recommend to anyone.

  7枚とはあまり思わない方が良いです。
  強打の時は、少し7枚な感じの打球感になりますが、基本的には弾みの良い5枚合板といった感じです。

  最近の5枚合板は、表面材が固めのいかにも粘着ラバーに合いそうなラケットが主流となっていますが、

  セプティアーリードは、そうではなく、しっかりとしなって、ボールを掴んでそこから打ち出す系統の流れを汲んでいます。

  打球感などを比べると、セプティアーとは別物ラケットです。

  入門用だけでなく、木材のつかみを重視する上級者にも十分に使えるだけの弾みもあります。

  万人にオススメできる良ラケットです。

  Bugller

  

  If I don't mind putting it bluntly, I'd call this a [variation-type Spectrum (tension)].

  The first glitchy thing about it is that despite having a variation-type pips shape, it "doesn't slide at all."

  For some reason that pips shape grips the ball totally normally — whether you brush it looping-style or hit it chiquita-style against backspin, it easily grips and lifts the ball,
  and over the table too, it holds the ball well, so even if you brush it a bit, it comes back with a nice arc and lands stably.

  The next glitchy thing is the "change in trajectory."

  When you hit it meet-shot style, it suddenly transforms — true to a tension rubber, it shoots out in a dead-straight line with a wooshing sound, becoming a ferocious knuckleball.

  This overly dramatic gap is probably its big weapon.

  Getting a difference in trajectory between brushed shots and meet shots is common for tension-type short pips, but a gap this extreme is rare.

  Finding the exact angle where it switches between the arc and the straight line seems like one of the keys to mastering this rubber.

  語弊を恐れず言うならば【変化系スペクトル(テンション)】

  まずバグるのが、変化表の粒形状なのに「まったく滑らない」こと。

  あの粒形状でなぜか普通に引っ掛り、下回転に対して、ループっぽく擦っても、チキータっぽく打っても簡単に引っ掛かって持ち上がってくれますし、
  対上でも、ボールを持ってくれるので少し擦り気味に打っても弧線を描いて安定して入ってくれます。

  次のバグりが「弾道の変化」です。

  ミート気味に叩いて打つと、いきなり豹変し、テンションらしくドヒュンッっと一直線に飛んでいき、凄まじいナックルとなります。

  この激しすぎる落差が大きな武器なのでしょう。

  擦り打ちとミートで、弾道の差が出るのはテンション表あるあるですが、ここまで差が激しいのも珍しい。

  弧線と直線が切り替わる瞬間の角度を見つけることが、使いこなすための一つのカギとなりそうです。

  PATISUMA V

  

  Overall the rubber feels hard, or rather, tightly packed, and you can feel a stability and springiness that doesn't lose out even against powerful drives.

  It bounces a bit more than the plain Spectrum.
  The spin isn't extreme, but it doesn't slip - you can really feel it grip the ball, and it stays stable even on hard hits.

  Knuckle balls are only slightly weaker than the Spectrum's - about the same as Hammond FA.
  If you hit it straight back, you get a clean knuckle ball, but just blocking a drive won't naturally flip the spin.
  Of course, if you try to produce one, it's easy, and it's easy to control.

  Blocks fly out slightly upward, but they still land in on the opponent's side.

  What surprised me was the push.
  The ball doesn't come off too fast and gets a solid grip, so you can confidently vary between cutting it and not cutting it. Chiquita is also easy to do with this.

  Drives against backspin are stable in the same way.

  
  A push that dies dead on the bounce
  -> Exactly right.

  Blocks that change shape freely
  -> Easy as long as you have a bit of skill

  The most reliable part here
  -> Not slipping is a real blessing

  That's the gist of it. It really hits the right notes.

  ラバー全体では硬め、というよりも、ギュッと詰まった感じがあり、強烈なドライブにも力負けしない安定感と弾性を感じられます。

  スペクトル（無印）よりもやや弾む。
  強烈な回転ではありませんが、滑らず、グッと引っ掛かりが感じられ、強打でも安定感があります。

  ナックルは、スペクトルよりやや弱い程度。ハモンドFAと同程度。
  真っすぐ後ろから叩けば、きれいなナックルが出ますが、ドライブをブロックしただけでは、自然に反転するまでにはなりません。
  もちろん、出そうとすれば簡単に出せますし、コントロールしやすい。

  ブロックは少し上向きに飛び出しますが、相手コートに収まってくれる。

  ビックリしたのは、ツッツキ。
  飛び出しが早すぎず、しっかりグリップしてくれるので、安心して切ったり切らなかったりの変化が付けられます。チキータもやりやすい。

  対下回転でのドライブも同様に安定します。

  
  ブツ切れのツッツキ
  →その通り。

  変幻自在のブロック
  →ちょっと技術さえあれば簡単

  ここで一番頼りになる
  →滑らない、というのはありがたい

  こんな感じ。結構、イイトコを突いてますね。
