  TORNADE SUPREME SOFT

  

  Used on a penhold, forehand pips. I've also played with the original Tornado Supreme. Compared to the original, the Soft version is lighter and the feel when hitting has less of that quirky character. Not only is the sponge softer, the sheet is also different from the original, and I think that's what's behind it. With the changed sheet and sponge, you could say it leans a bit more toward a standard tension rubber.
  As for the specs that matter most, I think the spin performance is very high. Serves, pushes, and drives can all be loaded up with plenty of spin. It's not that meet-hitting is hard either — it also has good pop. There's plenty of speed too, so I think it suits players who like to take the initiative and attack. You won't get the classic short-pips knuckle ball from normal hitting, but depending on how you hit (like blocking down on top of a drive), you can produce it.
  The original is hard, heavy, and has a strong Chinese-pips character, which made it a bit hard to use, I think, but with the Soft version that difficulty is reduced, so I think it's a rubber a wider range of players can use.
  The downsides are the price, and the fear that it might get discontinued...

  ペン表で使用。トルネードスプリームは無印も打ったことがあります。無印と比較するとソフトは軽量で、打った感触もクセが少ない印象があります。スポンジが柔らかくなっただけでなくシートも無印と違うので、その影響によるものと思います。シートとスポンジが変わったことで若干一般的なテンション系寄りとなったと言えます。
  肝心のスペックですが、回転性能は非常に高いと思います。サーブ、ツッツキ、ドライブとどれもしっかり回転をかけることができます。ミート系がやりづらいかというとそういうこともなく、弾きの良さも持ち合わせています。スピードも十分ありますので、自分から打っていくようなタイプに適していると思います。表ソフトらしいナックル性のボールは普通に打っていると出ませんが、打ち方によっては（ドライブに対して上からブロックするなど）も出ます。
  無印は硬めで重く、中国表らしさが強く少々使いづらさがあったと思いますが、ソフト版についてはその使いにくさが軽減されているので幅広い人に使えるラバーだと思います。
  ネックは値段と、廃盤してしまうことの怖さですね…

  I used this back when it was called the TSP Kaisoku. The rubber on it is VO103. Just as VICTAS's site describes it as suited for penhold with short pips, I think it does suit short pips well. It's a racket with good speed and good kickback, and I get the impression spin is relatively easy to put on too. (The product page describes the feel as somewhat hard, but personally I didn't find it all that hard.) It makes good use of short pips' characteristics while still offering a decent amount of control, so I'd call it an all-round racket rather than a pure attacking one. The blade is a bit on the thick side, which might bother some people, but I think that's also why the head doesn't flex much. That said, maybe because of the blade shape plus the thickness, it was a little hard to get the racket face angled right, which made the short game tricky.
  I called it an all-round racket, but it does have quite a bit of bounce, so a high-tension rubber, or one with slightly toned-down bounce, might be easier to handle with it.
  Overall I thought it was a really good racket, so short-pips users should definitely give it a try.

  TSP快速という名前だったときに使用しました。ラバーはVO103です。VICTASのサイトにペン表向きと紹介されているだけあって、表ソフトに合うと思います。スピードも出て、弾きも良いラケットですが、比較的回転もかけやすい印象です。（商品紹介ページではハード気味の打球感となっていますが、個人的にはそこまで硬いとは思いませんでした。）表ソフトの特徴を生かしつつ、コントロール性能もある程度確保しているので、攻撃一辺倒ではないオールラウンドラケットと思います。板厚が少々厚いので気になる人はいるかもしれませんが、そのおかげで面はブレにくいと思います。が、ブレード形状+板厚のせいか、少々面が出づらく台上がやりにくかったです。
  オールラウンドラケットとは書きましたが弾みは結構ありますので、高弾性か、少し弾みが抑えめのラバーのほうがより扱いやすいかもしれません。
  総合的に見ればとても良いラケットだったと思いますので、表ソフトユーザーの方は一度お試しください。
