  KORBEL

  

  I'd wanted to try this one for a while, and
  the quality of the backhand chop is just excellent! The trajectory stays low and lands well.
  I never thought I'd be able to pull off such a beautiful, thread-like chop.
  The blade is small, so it's easy to swing all the way through, and being able to take a full swing without hesitation is another plus.
  Personally, I'd recommend pairing it with super-thin Feint Long 2!

  Controlling the forehand is admittedly tough, so you basically need to make a point of swinging down from high to low.
  That said, if you're the kind of modern chopper who specializes in defense rather than mixing in a lot of attacks, it shouldn't bother you that much.

  Another good point is that it gives you the feeling of actually "hitting" the ball across every technique.
  I've tried 7-ply and composite blades too, but nothing beats the reassurance of a 5-ply.

  The grip is also easy to hold.

  For a chopper, this is a moving experience you can get, rubber included, for under 10,000 yen.
  The value for money is just too good.

  A long-time bestseller for a reason.
  This is the finest of the fine.

  以前から試してみたかったのですが、
  とにかくバックカットの質が高いです！弾道が低く収まりもいい。
  こんなにも糸を引くような美しいカットが打てるとは思いもしませんでした。
  ブレードが小さいので振りぬきやすく、躊躇せずフルスイングできるのもポイントです。
  個人的にはフェイントロング2の超極薄がおすすめです！

  フォアは流石に抑えるのが大変ですので、基本上から下のダウンスイングを心がける必要があります。
  ただ、いわゆる現代カットマンの主流である分業カットマンならそれほど気にすることはないはずです。

  技術全般で”打っている”感覚があるのもGood。
  7枚や特殊素材も試しましたが、やはり5枚合板の安心感。

  グリップも握りやすいです。

  カットマンならラバー込み、1万弱で買える感動体験。
  これはコスパが良すぎます。

  ロングセラーは伊達じゃない。
  至高の一品です。

  Rakza 7

  

  This is a good, affordable first German tension rubber if you want to compete on spin without bouncing too much.
  I'd recommend it for choppers who fit that description.
  You get a real sense of driving the ball with your own power, control is easy to add, and every technique makes it easy to put on spin.
  Personally, I think it can play a real part in helping beginner-to-intermediate choppers improve.
  The sponge being soft and light is nice too. It's also easy to keep hard hits under control with chops.
  It's easy to create an arc, and drives feel stable too.
  I'd say it's about as close to a perfect all-rounder as it gets.

  On the other hand, receives might be more easily affected by the opponent's spin.
  Also, the ball quality on offense might feel a bit light (or rather, the spin comes out "honest")? I normally use DNA Pro H as my main rubber and thought it might be a bit too hard,
  so I tried out Rakza 7, which I'd been curious about for a while but never used,
  and I did feel there are some downsides on offense with it.
  (This is purely a comparison — under normal circumstances it still puts out plenty of power.)
  It might actually pair well with a hard-type blade or a lively, bouncy blade.
  Once you get used to it, moving up to the Z is also an option.

  
  *Addendum
  It pairs really well with Masamune, so give it a try.
  It's a rubber that matches surprisingly well with the sticky, clingy feel of a three-ply hinoki blade.

  初めてのドイツテンション系でコスパが良く、弾みすぎないで回転量で勝負がしたい。
  そんなカットマンにおすすめです。
  自分の力で飛ばす感覚があって、コントロールがつけやすく、すべての技術で回転がかけやすい。
  個人的には、初中級者カットマンの上達に一役買えると思っている。
  スポンジが柔らかめで軽いのもいい。強打もカットで抑えやすい。
  弧線を作りやすくドライブの安定感もある。
  ほぼ至れり尽くせりのラバーと思う。

  一方、レシーブは相手の影響受けやすいかも。
  あと攻撃時の球質が軽いかな（というか回転が素直）？もともとDNA PRO Hを本職に使っていて硬すぎるかなと思い
  前々から気になりつつ使っていなかったラクザ7を試してみましたが、
  攻撃の際のデメリットもあるんだなと感じました。
  （あくまで比較であり、ふつうに考えれば充分な威力は出せる）
  もしかすると硬い系のラケットや弾むタイプの素材ラケットなら好相性かもしれない。
  慣れてきたらZへの移行もあり。

  
  ※追記
  正宗との相性はかなりいいのでお試しあれ。
  檜三枚の吸い付くような打球感に驚くほどピッタリの一枚です。

  Vega Asia

  

  Tacky rubber wasn't working for me, so I was looking for a tension rubber, and went with Vega Asia since it's affordable and has a good reputation for chopping.
  It gives a great feeling of really biting into the ball with the whole rubber, not just relying on the sheet.
  It also pairs perfectly with my ball-holding Korbel blade — counters land satisfyingly on attack too,
  and overall the quality of the drive-related technique is high across the board. (Makes sense, given the equipment.)

  After trying it out thoroughly, here's why I titled this review the way I did:
  - It's not just good for chopping — it's excellent all-around for drive techniques, the short game, and serves too
  - You need solid chopping technique to actually get the cut on it (which makes it good practice for developing that skill)

  Compared to today's high-end rubbers, it also lasts relatively long, which is another point in its favor.

  粘着が合わない理由でテンション系を探していて、安価でカットに評判がよかったヴェガアジアを採用。
  シート頼みではなく、ラバー全体でがっつり切れる感覚が好印象。
  球持ちの良いコルベルとの相性もばっちりで、攻撃もカウンターが気持ちよく決まるし
  とにかくドライブ技術全体の質が高い。（そりゃ用具的にそうか）

  一通り試した結果として、見出しにこう書いた理由は以下です。
  ・カットだけでなく、ドライブ系技術や台上プレー、サーブも申し分なくオールマイティーであること
  ・しっかり切る技術がないと切れないということ（カットを切る技術を身に着ける練習になる）

  昨今のハイエンドラバーに比べたら、寿命が比較的長いのもオススメポイントですね。

  Original T version

  

  It feels like something in between a spin-type and a variation-type pips rubber.
  The description that fits best is a Spectol S1 with less variation but easier spin.
  Because of that, attacking - even switching over to your inverted side - comes with less stress.
  For pushes and chops you do need to consciously produce a knuckle ball to get variation, but
  it's perfect for practicing how to create variation.
  The sponge is also soft, so it's easy to keep the ball under control, which is good too.
  Overall it's easy to use and reasonably priced, so I think it's a good starter short-pips rubber for anyone getting into chopping.
  After using this, you can decide whether spin-type, variation-type, or long pips suits you better.
  One thing that bothered me a little is that the spot where you grip your finger tends to turn white.

  *Addendum
  Compared to the normal original, the pips seem bigger and more densely packed.
  So I get the feeling it leans more toward the spin-type side than the original.

  回転系と変化系の中間のような感じ。
  スペクトルS1の変化を減らして回転をかけやすくした、
  という言葉が一番当てはまる。
  ゆえに攻撃も裏移行であってもストレスは低い。
  ツッツキ・カットは意識的にナックルを出さないと変化はつけられないものの、
  変化をつける練習にはもってこいだろう。
  スポンジもソフトなので抑えが効きやすいのもGood。
  総合的に扱いやすい＋リーズナブルなので異質（表）カットマン入門にはいいと思う。
  これを使ってから、回転系がいいのか変化系がいいのか（あるいは粒）決めればいい。
  一つ気になったのは、指をかけた部分が白くなりやすいかも。

  ※追記
  ノーマルのオリジナルより、粒が大きくて密集している印象。
  だから回転系よりの表なんだなあと。

  GLAYZER09C

  

  As expected, it's the entry model for Dignics. It does spin.
  Serves and pushes are more than good enough. Longer strokes also land well.
  That said, from a chopper's perspective, when using it for forehand chops it tends to turn into a knuckle chop fairly easily,
  and often drops like a forkball straight into the net, so I made a point of hitting it at a slightly sharper angle.
  Another good thing about this rubber is that it's light.
  It's easy to swing fully through, so I think it's also good for junior high students or women's players.

  やはりディグニクスのエントリモデル。回転はかかります。
  サーブやツッツキは申し分ないですね。ロング系の技術もよく収まります。
  ただカットマン目線でいうとフォアカットで使う際、わりとナックルカットになりやすく
  フォークボールみたいに落ちてネットに直行することが多かったので、気持ち鋭角に当てるようにしました。
  あとこのラバーのいいところは軽いっていうこと。
  振り切りやすいので中学生とかレディースにも良いと思います。
