It brought back a nostalgic feeling.
It reminds me of the era when I used JUIC Scramble 21 with speed glue.
It grips the ball well for spin, and the ball holds on the sponge nicely, so control is fairly easy too.
Personally though, I felt like I wanted a bit more bounce.
It felt a little on the soft side, and I thought the rubber might not keep up, but the ball still came up just fine.
I think it's a rubber that suits the backhand side.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
Recomend racket QUARTET AFC

Comparing this to Tenergy 64:
Rallies: It felt like it had slightly more bounce than Tenergy, but the difference wasn't huge.
Topspin drive: Speed stood out more than spin. It has more spin than Tenergy, and on fast drives the ball dips down, which seemed to make it hard for opponents to return.
Serve: The spin bites in well, and I think you can go for service aces with it. Adjusting length is a bit tricky and requires practice and technique.
Block: It wraps the ball well and gives it good bounce, so if you time your contact right, it can really turn into a weapon.
Counter: Countering felt a bit difficult. As mentioned, it has that ball-wrapping feel, so unless you read the spin accurately, counters are hard to pull off.
Overall: Since it puts more emphasis on speed than spin, it's good for speed drives off the forehand, but I think this rubber really shows its strength on backhand blocks and fending off attacks.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I currently use this on my forehand.
Unlike the other tacky tension rubbers I've used before, I was really surprised that you can get plenty of speed even playing away from the table.
Blocks don't fly, so my impression is that you get better shots by putting your own spin on the ball rather than relying on your opponent's power.
All in all, I think this rubber can handle that luxury problem of wanting to take the initiative with spin while still wanting real power.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

This is the blade I'm currently using.
The way the ball carries through when you hit hard is incredible.
I don't really see any weak points — I think it's really well balanced overall.
Hurricane series blades have a lot of knockoffs out there, so you need to be careful, but I think a genuine one performs just fine.
The one I used was the Hurricane Long N301.
This time I used high-tension rubber on both sides, but I think it would still perform well even with a low-flying rubber like a tacky one.
It's a shame it only comes in an FL grip,Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

My impression is that it's relatively easy to hit, and while it has good bounce, it also gives you solid control.
A lot of people say it's better suited to close-to-the-table play and doesn't have enough bounce away from the table, but I think that might just be a preconception from knowing Niwa uses it.
If you try to get distance using only the topsheet, the bounce does feel a bit weak, but the distance really comes through depending on your swing speed.
Isn't feeling like there's not enough bounce more of an issue with how you're hitting it?
It's a racket without much quirkiness — the ball goes where you hit it — so how easy it is to use will probably depend on the player, but overall I felt it offers relatively good value for money.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
