Nittaku Narucross GS Soft

This is a very good rubber for both forehand (FH) and backhand (BH) play. I am using it on my Hurricane Long ply blade for both sides. The spin on both sides is impressive, and the control is exceptional as well.

In comparison to the Xiom Omega 4 Euro, this rubber is better in terms of control. Although the Xiom Omega 4 Euro has its merits, it lacks the same level of control as this rubber. Additionally, this rubber offers good tackiness and durability, lasting longer than other options on the market.

The standout feature of this rubber is its spin, which is a significant advantage over others. I highly recommend you try it; you will definitely love it!

Review of Modern Defender - 1663 USATT

I have used both the 1.9 and 2.1 versions on my forehand, and I liked them both a lot. However, I prefer the 2.1 model.

The 2.1 is excellent for serves and offers incredibly fast drives and smashes. Additionally, I can still push and chop with it to some extent.

This is a very good rubber for forehand (FH) play.

I use the maximum thickness of Narucross GS. Because I flip my racket, I sometimes use it on either side. This rubber is capable of producing very heavy spin, with excellent control and a broad range of capabilities. I primarily use it for blocking loops, smashing, pushing, lobbing, and serving.

I have only had it for a month, so I can’t attest to its durability yet. However, it looks and performs as well as it did when I first used it. I prefer it to Tenergy 05/64; in comparison, it offers more control and spin. It can be very fast when you hit the ball hard. Additionally, it has excellent touch and quality of build. It is made in Germany.
