Nittaku Goriki Kaisoku

I found it very difficult to loop backspin with this rubber. It seems to have very little dwell time, making it challenging to get the desired spin on the ball.

The throw angle is not as low as advertised when attempting to loop. I often have to close the angle significantly, which results in the balls shooting long.

As a result, I’ve had to tighten my strokes and refine my technique considerably while using this rubber. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend it.

I use it on my forehand in 1.8 mm with my Latika 7 all-wood blade (OFF-). As Nittaku advised, it works well with flexible and controlled blades.

The best part is that you can smash against all spins, and surprisingly, the ball stays on the table. It is incredibly fast when you hit hard, allowing me to create controlled spins and easily execute opening loops.

It also offers good serving and blocking capabilities. Your opponent may get confused because of its low throw angle and the unique behavior of the short pips. The ball tends to drop early, making smashing quite easy.

Overall, it is an amazing rubber, especially if you master it with the right blade.

Very fast rubber that just got a sibling. You can find more information about it here: https://www.nittaku.com/products/rubbers/post-59.
