  Bluestorm Z1

  

  Not great for grazing shots. To really get the most out of this rubber, you need to sink the ball into the sponge hard, every time. Putting spin on serves is about average. The grip on the ball feels a bit weaker than the V>15, and when you mishit or don't swing all the way through, or when you're grazing the ball, the V>15 wins on both spin and speed. But when you use your whole body to really dig in and swing fast and committed, you get a ball with unbeatable speed and spin. On the flip side, if you can't do that consistently, there's not much point using this rubber. There are plenty of other rubbers out there that make it easier to generate power. It's not a particularly hard rubber to use either — it's pretty manageable — but it only gives "average performance for an average player." Think of it like a huge, heavy axe as a weapon: if you have the power to swing it, it's devastating, but if you don't, it's just dead weight.

  擦り打ちには向いていません。このラバーの性能を活かそうとすれば、常にかなり強く食い込ませる必要があります。サーブの回転の掛けやすさは普通です。ラバー自体の引っ掛かりは若干V>15に劣るように感じますし、当たり損ねや不十分なスイング時、擦り打ちなどはV>15の方が回転量もスピードも上です。しかし、体を使って強く食い込ませて思い切った早いスイングで打った時は、何物にも負けない物凄いスピードと回転のある球が出ます。逆にそれがコンスタントに出来ないプレイヤーはこのラバーを使う意味があまりありません。他に威力の出しやすいラバーは色々とあります。別に扱いが難しいラバーでもなく、普通に使えますが「普通の人には普通の性能」しか発揮しません。武器で例えるなら超大きくて重たい斧、使えるパワーがあれば相当な攻撃力になるが無ければ「無用の長物」。

  V＞15 Limber

  

  The topsheet on the V>15 series has a lot of elasticity and really grips. Just to test it, I peeled the sheet off the sponge and pulled on it, and it stretches quite a lot. Thanks to that, with other rubbers, once the spin gets too strong and you hit the limit of the rubber's grip, the ball can slip or drop, or come out as a dull "thud" like a dud shot — but with the V>15 that almost never happens. Even once the surface friction hits its limit, the rubber stretches to keep hold of the ball instead of letting it drop. It grips spin well too, and the speed and control are good. The sponge is soft, yet it has a lot of firmness, so it doesn't get overwhelmed by the power of the incoming ball, and I can always swing all-out. It's easy to use whether you brush it, sink the ball in, or hit it flat. I used to use Fastarc C-1 on my backhand, but the V>15 Limber feels like a rubber that takes what C-1 does and makes it a notch better.

  V＞15 シリーズはトップシートがとても弾力があり粘り強いです。試しにシートをスポンジから剥がして引っ張ってみましたが相当伸びます。おかげで他のラバーだと回転が強すぎてラバーのグリップの限界まで来ると滑ったり落ちたり「ボスっ」という鈍い音の不発弾の様な球が飛んでいくことがありますがV＞15 では殆ど起こりません。ラバーの表面の摩擦限界がきてもその後はラバーがグーっと伸びて落とさず耐えてくれます。回転も良くかかりますしスピード、コントロールも良いです。スポンジも柔らかいのにとてもコシがあり球威に押されず何時も思いっきり振っていけます。擦っても良し、食い込ませても良し、弾いても良しと、とても使いやすいラバーです。以前はバックにファスタークC-1を使っていましたが、V＞15 リンバーはｃ－１の性能を一回り良くさせたようなラバーです。

  V＞15 Extra

  

  This rubber's topsheet is very strong and elastic (not soft) and has really good grip on the ball. It almost never slips. The speed is more than enough, and the trajectory comes in low and sharp, yet despite how the trajectory looks, it also gets surprisingly strong spin — a real standout feature. Personally, I got the most powerful shots with both spin and speed together when brushing right over the top of the ball close to the table. Even with light force it bounces a lot, so it's also good for counter-style blocks. The short game is fine once you practice it, but it doesn't produce particularly high-quality shots there either. The one drawback for me was the serve. With my serving motion, I just couldn't get a satisfying amount of spin on a standard backspin serve. My wraparound serve came out short with good spin, so the racket angle, speed, and strength of impact when serving are probably quite sensitive with this rubber.

  このラバーはシートがとても強く弾力があり（柔らかくはない）引っ掛かりもかなり良いです。スリップすることは殆どありません。スピードは申し分なく弧線は低く鋭く入るのに、その弾道の見た目に反して回転もかなり強く掛かるという優れものです。個人的には前陣でボールの真上を擦るように打つ時が一番回転とスピードの両立した威力のあるボールが出せました。軽い力でもとても跳ねるのでカウンター的ブロックにも良いです。台上処理は練習すれば問題無いが、特段に質の良いボールが出るわけでもない。唯一私にとっての難点はサーブでした。私のサーブの打ち方では、基本的な動作での下回転サーブの時どうしても満足いく回転量が得られませんでした。巻き込みサーブは回転のよく掛かかった短いサーブが出せたので、おそらくサーブを出す時のラケットの角度、スピード、インパクトの強さがかなりシビアなのかもしれません。
