  Rakza X Soft

  

  A friend of mine had this and let me hit with it, so here are my impressions.
  Going in, I pictured it as the Soft version of Rakza X — an easy-to-use rubber — but when I actually hit with it, it felt hard.
  The sponge is indeed on the soft side and you can feel it grabbing the ball, but the sheet is hard.
  Because of that hard sheet, my overall impression was that it felt hard.
  If you go in expecting it to feel like Rakza 7 Soft from the same series, it feels hard enough that you wouldn't believe it's also labeled Soft.
  That said, even though it's positioned as a soft rubber, the short game over the table doesn't go wild on you, so I think it suits people who use hard rubbers but want just a bit more ball-holding.
  The sheet's grip is really good, so loop drives bite well and pushes get plenty of spin on them too. Just keep in mind this rubber is also very sensitive to the opponent's spin before you decide to buy it.

  知人が使っていて打たせてもらったので感想を書きます。
  まず、ラクザXのソフトバージョンで使いやすい位置のラバーというイメージで打ちましたが、実際打つと硬さを感じます。
  スポンジは確かに柔らかめで掴む感覚はあるのですが、シートが硬いです。
  シートの硬さの関係で全体的に硬く感じる印象でした。
  同じラクザシリーズのラクザ7ソフトのイメージで打つと同じソフトとは思えないくらい硬く感じます。
  ただ、柔らかいラバーの位置でも台上が暴れたりしないので硬いラバーを使っているがあと少し球持ちが欲しい方に合うラバーではないかとおもいます。
  シートのグリップは非常にいいので、ループドライブもしっかり掛かりツッツキも回転量が確保出来ます。ただ、相手の回転にも非常に敏感なラバーである事を踏まえた上での購入をオススメします。

  CALIBRA LT SOUND

  

  STIGA has produced plenty of legendary blades, but they also make rubbers.
  What's notable is that, unlike the German-made rubbers that are so common these days, many of theirs are made in Japan.
  Lately you see German rubbers a lot even at small local tournaments, but overseas, STIGA's Japan-made rubbers like the Calibra also seem to be popular, which makes me a little happy as a Japanese player.
  As for the actual performance, it really has no quirks when you hit with it. The ball doesn't fly up too high or go dead straight — it goes exactly where your racket angle and brushing direction send it.
  The sponge lives up to the "Sound" name — it's soft and you can really feel the ball sink into it.
  That said, it's not a mushy, power-losing rubber — the topsheet feels taut and holds up fine against the opponent's spin.
  It's not a spin-oriented tension rubber, so the spin isn't huge, but it's easy to hit flat with and stays calm and predictable in the short game.
  Even though the spin is on the lower side, you can still generate plenty by adjusting your contact and brushing angle, so I think it works fine on the backhand or reverse side for intermediate players and above.
  It's not cheap, but I'd recommend it to anyone looking for balance and ease of use in a rubber.

  名作ラケットが数多くあるスティガですが、ラバーも手掛けています。注目なのは最近多いドイツ製ではなく、日本製のラバーが多いという事です。
  最近は小さな大会でもドイツ製のラバーを大きく見かけますが海外ではキャリブラをはじめとするスティガの日本製のラバーも人気なようで日本人としてはすこし嬉しいです。
  そして肝心な性能ですが、打った感じは本当にクセがありません。やたら球が上に上がるとか、やたら真っ直ぐにいくとかもない、ラケットの角度や擦った方向にしっかり行きます。
  スポンジはサウンドというだけあり柔らかく食い込みを大きく感じます。
  しかしグニャグニャでパワーロスしまくりなラバーではなく、シートは張りがある印象で相手の球にも負けません。
  スピン系テンションではないので回転量は多くはありませんがミートもし易く、台上も暴れない素直なラバーです。
  また、回転量が少ないといっても当て方や擦り方次第で充分に出す事は可能なため中級者以上のバックや裏面にも充分に対応可能だと思います。
  価格は安くはありませんが、ラバーにバランスと使い易さを求める方にはオススメです。

  Evolution EL-S

  

  This rubber is hard.
  The sponge hardness is a medium 45 degrees, but in feel it sometimes seems harder than 47.5 degrees.
  The MX-S was hard enough to make you wonder who could possibly sink the ball into it, and this one is definitely softer than that, so you can feel the ball sinking in.
  Still, it's on the harder end among 45-degree rubbers, so I felt it suits brushing shots better.
  In the short game, being a hard rubber, it doesn't act up, and you can expect good spin on loop drives too, but I think topspin-type techniques need a certain amount of power.

  このラバーは硬いです。
  スポンジ硬度は45度と中間硬度ですが、体感的には47.5度より硬く感じる時があります。
  MX-Sは誰が食い込ませられるんだと言いたくなるくらい硬かったですが、それよりは確かに柔らかくなっているため食い込みを感じます。
  ただやはり45度のラバーの中では最も硬い部類のため、擦り打ちの方が向くラバーに感じました。
  台上は硬いラバーらしく暴れる事がなくループドライブも回転量が期待できますが、前進回転系の技術はある程度のパワーが必要になると思います。

  Speedy P.O.

  

  I used this a little before, so I wanted to write about it.
  I normally use inverted rubber on both sides, but I happened to get hold of this one and tried hitting with it. My memory is a bit hazy, so please bear with me.
  First, I felt the classic short-pips response with no real quirks.
  It's a speed-oriented rubber and I didn't feel much grip on the ball, so it was easy to smash topspin drives.
  That said, without glue it's hard to get the same speed as in the glue era, so if you switch from a tension short pips you might feel the bounce is a bit lacking.
  Still, the short game was easy to do, and flicks and stops were simple too.
  Depending on how you use it, this is definitely still a rubber you can get a lot out of.

  以前少し使ったことがあったので書きたいと思います。
  普段は裏裏ですがたまたま手に入れて打ち込んでみた時の感想です。多少記憶が曖昧ですがご了承ください。
  まずクセのない表ソフトらしい弾きを感じました。
  スピード系で引っかかりを感じないためドライブを叩きやすかったです。
  しかしノングルーではスピードをグルー時代のように確保するのは難しくテンション表から乗り換えると弾みに物足りなさを感じるかもしれません。
  ただ、台上はやり易くフリックやストップも容易でした。
  使い方次第でまだまだ使えるラバーである事は間違いありません。

  GOLDEN TANGO

  

  A friend of mine was using it and let me try hitting with it.
  First, for topspin strokes like drives, I didn't feel that much hardness.
  Even without brushing hard yourself, the sheet grips the ball and sends it flying, to the point where you forget it's a tacky rubber.
  It does have that tacky-rubber trait of the ball changing on the opponent's side of the table, but I felt it leaned quite a bit toward the tension side of tacky.

  That said, for weaker-impact techniques like light shots and the short game, I was surprised that it produced the kind of ball you'd expect from a hard rubber.
  Pushes and stops in particular came out very low, and even rushed shots didn't seem to pop up easily.

  It's close to a tension rubber, but you still get more of that tacky-rubber ball if you consciously brush the shot, so if you're moving over from tension, I think it's better to be deliberate about brushing.

  Also, since the rubber itself grips the ball to some extent on its own, I think you can get away with being a bit lazier with it compared to a hardcore tacky rubber.

  知り合いが使っていて打たせてもらいました。
  まず、ドライブなど前進回転系は硬さをそれほど感じませんでした。
  自分からガッツリ擦らなくてもシートがグリップして飛んでくため、粘着ラバーということを忘れるくらいです。
  相手のコートで球が変化したりする粘着らしさはありますが、かなりテンション寄りの粘着だと感じました。

  ただ、軽打や台上などのインパクトが弱い技術は硬いラバーらしい球がでて驚きがありました。
  特にツッツキやストップは球が非常に低く、咄嗟の球も浮きにくい印象でした。

  テンションラバーに近いですが、やはり擦る事を意識した方が粘着らしい球が出るので、テンションから移行した際は意識して擦った方がいいと思います。

  またラバー自体がある程度勝手にグリップするので、ガチガチの粘着ラバーよりは多少サボれるラバーだと思います。
