  LIBERTA GLORIOUS

  

  Blade thickness 5.8mm, 157×150mm, 88g, FL.
  It's an inner Izanas carbon blade that uses a hard wood called peach wood for the top ply.
  Because of that, it makes up for the speed of tacky rubbers and lets you draw out maximum spin — a good blade close to a Koto-top-ply outer ALC!
  Personally, I think of it as a replacement for Nittaku's discontinued Tornado King Power.
  If all you want is a hard top ply, the Ma Lin Carbon is cheaper and easier to handle, but if you want that sticky, carbon-like feel from woven special fiber rather than plain carbon, the Liberta Glorious — though pricier — makes it easier to feel the ball hold on your drives when you swing all-out.
  If you want spin, it's a truly one-of-a-kind, top-tier blade, but that comes at the cost of handling: even though it's an inner Izanas carbon, the handling ends up close to that of a Koto-top-ply outer ALC.
  I think it's good to understand both the pros and cons before buying.
  I've also reviewed it on my blog, so please check that out for reference.

  板厚5.8 mm、157×150 mm、88gのFL。
  インナーイザナスカーボンで上板にピーチ材という硬い木材を使用しています。
  その分、粘着ラバーのスピードを補い、回転量を最大限引き出せる上板コト+アウターALCに近い、良いラケットです！
  個人的にNittakuの廃盤となったTornado King Powerの代替となるようなラケットだと思います。
  上板の硬さだけを求めるならMa Lin Carbonの方が安くて扱いやすいですが、ただのカーボンではなく特殊繊維を編み込んだカーボンらしい粘りのある打感を求めると、高価ですがリベルタグロリアスの方が思い切り打った時にドライブの球持ちを感じやすいでしょう。
  回転量を求めるなら唯一無二の最高のラケットではありますが、その分操作性はインナーイザナスカーボンといえど、ほぼ上板コトのアウターALCに近い操作性になります。
  メリットデメリットを含めて理解して購入すると良いと思いますね。

  FORTIUS FT ver.D RE

  

  157×149 mm, blade thickness 6.1 mm, top ply limba, outer Dual Web, 91 g, FL.
  This is a blade with the feel that katsuo000 loves, and it's incredibly easy to use.
  If you like a limba top ply, it's worth trying at least once.
  Even at 6.1 mm thick, it gets quite a lot of distance and makes it easy to generate power even from mid-distance, and the power on each individual shot during rallies is quite appealing.
  That said, it also has strong characteristics of a thick blade, so the amount of spin is a bit lower - I'd say it's more of a blade for moving around a lot during rallies and driving through shots.
  The blade surface is also smaller, making it easier to swing through including on the backhand, and I think the power on the forehand is nearly on par with the Ver.D.
  For anyone looking for outstanding handling combined with power, this is a blade I'd love for you to try.
  I've also reviewed it on my blog, so please check it out for reference.

  157×149 mm、板厚6.1 mm、上板リンバ、アウターDual Web、91 g、FL。
  katsuo000の大好きな打感のラケットで、めちゃめちゃ使いやすいです。
  上板リンバ好きなら一度試してみても良いでしょう。
  板厚6.1 mmですがかなり飛距離が出て中陣からでも威力が出しやすいですし、ラリー戦でも一発一発のボールの威力はかなり魅力的です。
  ただ、厚ラケらしさも強いので回転量はやや少なく、どちらかというとラリーで動きまくって打ちぬいていくようなラケットだと思います。
  ブレード面積も小さくなりバックハンド含めて振り抜きやすくなっていて、しかもフォアの威力はVer. Dとほぼ遜色ないと思います。
  抜群の扱いやすさと威力を求める方には是非とも手に取ってほしいラケットになります。

  GENEXTION V2C

  

  Red, max thickness, 49 g, 43.8°
  Z03, 48 g, 43.9°
  D09C, 50 g, 50.8°
  - It bounces more than you'd expect from a tacky rubber! A true, orthodox tacky tension rubber!
  - Among tacky rubbers, this is one you can really drive fast! It can return the opponent's drive with interest!
  - The ball-holding has increased, making the short game and serves easier!
  Since Nittaku is a brand that also handles Hurricane, this one was set apart from mainstream Chinese tacky rubbers with strong tackiness like Hurricane.
  Alongside the release of the antibacterial ball, its standout feature is that it produces an arcing trajectory and speed that let you attack even balls that, with previous spin-oriented tension rubbers, would end up too flat and force you to just connect the shot when you dropped below the ideal contact point.
  Recent tacky tension rubbers are hard like Hurricane, but this one gives the impression of bouncing almost as much as a spin-oriented tension rubber.
  What differs between manufacturers is probably the balance of hardness versus how arced or flat the trajectory is.
  If you use it on the forehand it's a bit lighter and bouncier, but on the backhand it may be a bit harder and difficult to generate speed with.

  ・粘着ラバーの中では弾む！正統派粘着テンション！
  ・粘着ラバーの中では飛ばせるラバー！相手のドライブを倍返し！
  ・球持ちが増して台上やサーブがやりやすい！
  ニッタクさんはキョウヒョウも扱うブランドですので、キョウヒョウのような強粘着の王道チャイラバとは差別化されていました。
  抗菌ボールの発売とともに今までのスピン系テンションではどうしても直線過ぎてしまって打点を落としたときに繋げるしかできないボールでも、弧線を出して攻められるようなボールの上がり方とスピードが特長です。
  最近の粘着テンションはキョウヒョウのように硬いですが、スピン系テンションに近いくらい弾むイメージです。
  各社異なるのは硬さと弧線/直線性の割合でしょうか。
  フォアで使うならやや軽くて弾みますが、バックではやや硬くてスピードを出しづらいかもしれませんね。

  GENEXTION

  

  Black max thickness, 49g, 44.3°
  Z03 was 48g, 43.9°
  D05 was 47g, 50.0°
  - A spin-oriented tension rubber, but with a surprisingly "muted/dead" feel! A strong impact brings out real nastiness!
  - It's exactly because it feels muted that the blocking performance is so high!
  - When driving off the opponent's own power, you can really feel the spin and extension!
  A strong impact produces a proper high-end ball, and small differences in impact create quirky ball movement — truly an upgraded version of the G-1!
  The feel is dead/muted overall, so it does demand solid core strength, but it doesn't lose out to the power of the opponent's shots, so once you master it you can take any ball and turn it into your own shot back!
  The counter especially, using the opponent's own power, was excellent!

  ・スピン系テンションラバーなのにかなりのマッド感！強インパクトでエグ味が出る！
  ・マッドなラバーだからこそブロック性能が高い！
  ・相手のボールを利用したドライブ時に回転量と伸びを実感！
  強インパクトでハイエンドらしいボールが打てるとともにインパクトの微妙な差で球に癖が出る、まさにG-1の上位互換！
  とにかく打感がマッドなので相応の体幹が求められるけど、相手のボールの威力に負けないので使いこなせればどんなボールでも自分のボールにして打ち返せます！
  特に相手のボールを利用したカウンターが良かったですね！
