  HAMMOND FA

  

  It flies more than a high-tension-free rubber, but less than a tension rubber.
  Knuckle balls are about average - sometimes you get them with the same swing, sometimes you don't.
  For a vertical-pip rubber, the spin is quite good.
  There isn't much sensation of the ball sinking into the sponge, and the feel is more like hitting a fairly stiff board.
  It doesn't have any standout strengths, but it's really easy to use, and it's cheap. I like it a lot, so I think I'll keep using it for a while.
  Honestly, I don't think pips-out rubber needs tension technology.
  I'd rank its performance somewhere between Moristo SP and Spectrum.
  In order: Spectrum → Spectrum Blue → Spectrum Red → Spectrum → Moristo SP → 388C-1 → Booster SA → Hammond FA.

  高弾性より飛ぶがテンション系より飛ばない。
  ナックルは普通、同じ打ち方で出たり出なかったりする。
  回転は縦目にしては、よくかかる方。
  スポンジに食い込む感じが少なく結構固めの板に響くような打球感。
  尖った性能はないけど、凄く使いやすい。価格が安い。かなり気に入ったので当分これ使うと思う。
  表ラバーにテンションは正直必要ないと思う。
  モリストSPとスペクトルの中間性能でしょうか。
  スペクトル→スペクトルブルー→スペクトルレッド→スペクトル→モリストSP→388C-1→ブースターSA→ハモンドFAの順です。

  In a word, I think this is a rubber you can sum up as "easy to use."
  I'd been using nothing but Ligan and Ligan Spin for about 5 years before trying the 7, and I felt zero sense of unfamiliarity.
  It's like a rubber that took the best parts of Ligan and Ligan Spin, boosted the performance, and got rid of the weaknesses.
  For beginners, I think, "isn't this all you need?", but it costs 1,000 yen more than those rubbers above.
  The price difference is about 1.35x, but I don't think the performance is 1.35x better... going by my own skill level, maybe about 1.1x.
  That said, G1 has more grip and ball-holding feel, and I felt V>11 was better in terms of hitting feel and speed, but this one wins out on ease of use.
  The sheet grips the ball well and the sponge has just enough firmness that it doesn't over-sink even on hard hits, giving a good balance of ball-holding and release — I think it's a rubber anyone can use. But for players with a strong impact in their swing who want to load up on spin with hard hits, it might not suit them since it's on the softer side.
  It's easy to stop exactly where you want, and speed increases smoothly with how much force you put in, without suddenly jumping past a certain point — I guess that's what makes it feel easy to use.

  一言、使いやすいで全て語れるラバーと思いました。
  ライガンとライガンスピンばかりを5年ほど使ってから7を使いましたが違和感がまったくありませんでした。
  ライガンとライガンスピンの良い所取りをして性能UPさせ弱点を無くしたようなラバー
  初級者は、これでいいじゃない？と思うけど、上記ラバーより1,000円高いんだよね。
  価格差が約1.35倍なんだけど、性能が1.35倍はないと思うな・・・私の実力では、1.1倍くらいでしょうか。
  ただし食い込みや球持ち感は、G1の方があるし、打球感や速度はV＞11の方が上と感じましたが、使いやすさで凌駕しております。
  シートが食い込みやすくスポンジは強打でも食い込み過ぎないくらいの腰があって、程よい球持ちと球離れ感があり、誰でも使えるラバーと思いますが、スイングにインパクトがあり強打でガッツリ回転かけたい人には柔らかめのラバーなので合わないかな？と思います。
  止める所で止めやすく、力の入れ具合で速度を増すが、そこがスムーズな上昇で、ある一定の領域から急に飛ぶことが無いので使いやすいと感じるのかな？思いました。

  Spectol

  

  Spectrum Blue → Spectrum Red → 388C-1 → Spectrum, and now I've come back to the Spectrum I used back in junior high.
  Personally I love the feel of the thin sponge version and find it easy to use.
  Unlike tension rubbers, the ball doesn't sink into it on its own, it's easy to brush the surface, and there's no feeling of the ball flying off by itself, so it's easy to give it a light touch.
  It also gets a decent amount of spin, but I think its biggest advantage is that even balls with no spin look like they have spin on their trajectory.
  Since I play a close-to-the-table, fast-attacking style, a non-tension rubber does mean a drop in attacking power when I try to drive through the ball, but its ease of use makes it easy to ride the ball and gives me confidence over the table, so for creating openings that lead into an attack, I think this rubber has the edge.
  Short pips on the backhand are weak against a long, fast backspin serve to the backhand, but with this rubber it's easy to just touch the ball and drop it near the opponent's net, so I think a non-tension rubber is easier to use for anyone with short pips on the backhand who struggles with backhand topspin drives.

  スペクトルブルー→スペクトルレッド→388C-1→スペクトルと中学時代に使っていたスペクトルへ戻ってきました。
  個人的にスポンジ薄の打球感が好きで扱いやすいです。
  テンションラバーみたいに勝手に食い込む感じがなく、表面で擦りやすい、勝手に飛ぶ感じがなく軽くちょん当てしやすいです。
  また回転もそこそこかかるけど、一番の利点はかかってない球の弾道がかかっている様に見える事だと思います。
  前陣速攻タイプなので、非テンションラバーだと打ち抜く攻撃力ダウンになりますが、扱いやすさで乗せ打ちがやりやすく台上で自信が持てるので、攻撃に繋げる切欠作りには、こちらの方が上と思います。
  バック表の泣き所のバックへ長くて速い下回転を、ちょんと当てて相手のネット際に落としやすいので、バックドライブが苦手なバック表の人には非テンションのラバーの方が使いやすいと思います。

  Acoustic Carbon

  

  My impressions after three years of use are that this blade works with pretty much any rubber.
  I sometimes see reviews saying it flies too much or is hard to handle, but I think that's probably compared to the plain Acoustic or a 5-ply wood blade.
  In my assessment, some beginner blades these days actually have worse control, and I think this one is easier for beginners to use than those.
  It's a blade you can use for both grazing shots and hard hits.
  The stiff, flexible blade has just the right amount of hardness, giving good grip on the ball without holding it too long.
  Even on hard hits, the ball sinks into the rubber nicely, giving you stability and satisfying speed.
  It's a fairly stiff outer-carbon blade, but the trajectory has a fairly arcing shape to it.
  The grip is on the thin side, even thinner than "thin," but even with my large hands it doesn't bother me much.
  Rather than sanding down a thick grip, I think it's easier to wrap grip tape around a thin one, and I'd rather have it thin than thick.

  3年間使った感想ですが、どのラバーでも合うラケットという印象です。
  飛び過ぎ、扱い難いと言うレビューを時々見ますが、たぶん素のアコースティックや5枚合板のラケットと比較しての評価だろうと思います。
  私の評価では、近年の初心者向けラケットでもコントロール性に難のあるラケットがありますが、それより初心者でも使い易いラケットだと思います。
  擦っても叩いてもどちらもできるラケットです。
  硬めでしなるブレードが、絶妙な硬さ加減で引っ掛かり感があり、球を持ち過ぎません。
  叩いてもラバーに球が食い込みやすく安定感があり、満足できるスピードがあります。
  硬めのアウターカーボンラケットですが、弾道は結構弧線を描くタイプのラケットですね。
  グリップは細めより細いくらいですが、手の大きな私でもあまり気になりません。
  グリップ太いのを削るより、細いグリップにグリップテープ巻く方が楽だと思うし、太いよりかは細い方がいいかと。

  Spectol Blue

  

  I'm not sure someone as unskilled as me should be writing this review, but...
  Thirty years ago, the Spectol impressed me with its straight, fast-starting trajectory, but today's inverted rubbers are actually faster than this.
  This short-pips rubber only generates about half the spin of an inverted rubber.
  On basic strokes it feels like it drops a bit more than an inverted rubber, so if you don't meet the ball cleanly, it goes into the net.
  So, what's good about it? I do find myself thinking about switching to inverted rubber on both sides, but for some reason, this rubber is hard to miss with.
  When I ask myself why I use Spectol, I guess it's because it's stable and gives me peace of mind.
  The Spectol's weakness is basically that it's hard to produce balls with a lot of spin (serves, drives, etc.).
  On the other hand, you're less affected by spin the opponent puts on the ball, and if you sense the ball has floated up even slightly, a ball that would just be a push with inverted rubber turns into a scoring chance.
  Also, the fact that the rubber lasts a long time is a plus.
  Popular inverted tension rubbers are expensive and wear out quickly, so putting short pips on one side is easy on the wallet too.
  It used to be the poster child for close-to-the-table fast attack, but these days it's also used by choppers, so maybe it's actually a well-balanced, easy-to-use rubber after all. I'll end the review there.

  上手くない私がレビューするのも、どうかと思いますが・・・
  30年前のスペクトルは、直線的弾道で初速が速く感動しましたが、最近の裏ラバーだと、これより速いです。
  表ラバーは、裏ラバーの半分くらいしか回転をかけれません。
  基本打ちだと裏ラバーより少し落ちる感覚があり、ミートさせて打たないとネットになります。
  えー何処がいいの？両面裏裏にしようかな？と考えてしまうのですが、何故か外しにくいラバーです。
  何故スペクトル使うの？と自分に問いてみると、安定する、安心感があるでしょうか？
  スペクトルの弱点は、回転のある球（サーブ、ドライブ等）を出し難い事くらいです。
  しかしその反面、相手が出した回転のある球に影響される事が少なくプレーでき、少し球が浮いたと感じれば裏ラバーではツッツキするような球でもチャンスボールになります。
  後、ラバーの寿命が長い事が良い事です。
  人気の裏テンションラバーは高くて寿命も短いので片面表にすると、お財布にも優しいです。
  昔は、前陣速攻の代名詞みたいなラバーでしたが、最近ではカットマンにも使われているので、バランスがよく使いやすいラバーなのではないか？でレビューを終わらせて頂きます。
