・Acoustic Carbon Grande (アコースティックカーボン グランデ) このラケットの存在は、卓球王国さんで拝見するまでは知りませんでした。張本智和インナーフォースシリーズに代表されるラケットのブレード面積を広くしたラケットになります。またグリップも太くなっているそうです。ブレード面積を広くすることで、アウターカーボンラケットでもブレード面積を広くすることで、振動しやすくなって手に響き、しなって弧線を作りやすくなるそうです。デメリットはおそらくラバーの貼る面積も増えるので重量の増加でしょうか。ブレード面積は 158 × 152 mmで張本智和インナーフォースシリーズと同じブレード面積になっています。ブレード面積が広いラケットは、Hurricane Long V (キョウヒョウ龍V)、Fortius FT ver. D (フォルティウスFT ver. D)、Fortius FT (フォルティウスFT)なども同じようにブレード面積が広いラケットですね。馬龍選手や大島祐哉選手のラケット群となると、やはりフォアドライブ主戦型の選手にあう印象です。ラケットが重くなるのと先端重心になりやすいので、切り返しが遅くなりやすいのと、ラケット重量によっては手首を使ったバックハンドが難しくなる印象です。ただ張本選手もこのタイプのラケットを使用しているわけなので、バックハンド主戦の選手でも使いこなせるラケットのようです。 例として自分のケースでは、最近ではレギュラーのブレード面積を好みとしています。自分はフォアの方が得意なので、バックハンドをやりやすくしたい、と思うと、ブレード面積はレギュラーの157 × 150 mmの方がやりやすいと感じ、そちらが好みになります。バランスをとるイメージで用具を選ぶとレギュラー面積がいいなーとなりますね。一方で、特徴を活かす≒フォアハンドの威力をもっと尖らせる、と思うと158 × 152 mmのブレード面積の広いラケットの方が遠心力や威力が出しやすくなるはずですので、フォアドライブの威力もあがることが期待できますね。こういった戦略的な用具の選択ができるのが卓球の醍醐味であり面白いところだと思います。
You tuberのごぶりんずさんも動画でコメントしていますが、Rasanter R53 (ラザンターR53)は上回転の打ち合いに強い分、やや下回転打ちが難しいラバーになっています。特に対下回転スピードドライブが難しくて、しっかりくい込ませつつインパクト時にしっかり回転をかけないとボールが沈まないのでオーバーするかネットミスしやすいんですよね。一方、このC53はかなり弧線を強く描くのとドライブ時にボールがめちゃめちゃ上がるので非常に下回転打ちがしやすいラバーでした。これはラザンターの中で新しい、そして今までにない選択肢になると思います!下回転打ちのためにC53を使うのはありではないでしょうか。
This review will be a review of adhesive rubber from a Chinese manufacturer. When it comes to China, Double Happiness Shanghai (DHS) is famous, but this time we will review Jupiter II Blue Sponge (YINHE, Miky Way, Galaxy)! Everyone knows WRM’s rubber. I lightly googled the information of the manufacturer galaxy, but I could not get much, so I will omit it. Ginga is a manufacturer that names celestial bodies in rubber names, and there are other names such as Apollo, Moon, Venus, and Sun. I’ve reviewed Moon Blue in the past. It’s a little heavy, but I personally felt it was similar to VICTAS’s Triple Double Extra with good cost performance adhesive rubber. Push cuts well, the sheet is soft and the ball is good. Following such moon blue, I would like to review Jupiter II Blue Sponge.
The Jupiter II Blue Sponge has been described as close to the Hurricane NEO III Blue Sponge for the provincial team by Mr. WRM’s Guccii. I would like to touch on that. Of course, I tried the Jupiter II blue sponge, 39° black.
Public performance value
I tried to look it up but couldn’t find the performance chart. This time, I will only compare the hardness.
As I mentioned in Moon Blue, it is heavy because it is made in China. The Jupiter II blue sponge weighed 52 g, which is the same weight as high-end rubber in recent years. The Hurricane NEO III Blue Sponge for the ministry team is light and weighs less than 50 g, and the butterfly rubber is also light. Focusing on hardness, the Jupiter II Blue Sponge is hard, resulting in it being harder than Dignics 09C. If you can master hard rubber, you can hit a powerful ball with a large amount of rotation, so this is something to pay attention to. It’s harder than Moon Blue, so it’s easy to imagine that it’s easier to put out more power than Moon Blue!
When focusing on adhesive rubber, what we think is important is the difference in hardness between the sheet and the sponge. It can be seen that the difference in hardness between the sheet and the sponge is very close to 0 for the Hurricane NEO III blue sponge for the provincial team. On the other hand, you can see that the seat of Dignics 05, which has a hard seat and is difficult to bite into, is 2° or more harder. You can see that the moon blue sponge is 4 degrees harder than the sponge, and the Jupiter II blue sponge is about 6 degrees harder. As you can see, rubber with a sponge that is harder than the seat is characterized by being easy to show outstanding ball retention. I think that it will be a rubber that can be used on the back side depending on the person because it is easy to feel the ball holding strongly, so it is easy to make a high quality loop drive. The 36° Jupiter II Blue Sponge is also on sale, so I think it can be used as a bag.
Jupiter II blue sponge paste and weight
I pasted it on the Pro-13S. Jupiter II blue sponge is pasted on the outer carbon side. I pasted Dignics 05 on the inner carbon side.

It was a sticky adhesive rubber that seems to be made in China. Recent German-made adhesive tension rubbers, such as Rasanter C53 and Omega VII China Ying, do not have a sticky feeling, but Chinese-made adhesive rubbers still have a good stickiness. I think there are different tastes in this area.
Three features of Jupiter II Blue Sponge
Easy to handle and high quality loop drive like a Hurricane blue sponge!
I felt that the Jupiter II Blue Sponge certainly has a shot feeling similar to the Hurricane NEO III Blue Sponge for the provincial team. The shot feeling is clearly different from the so-called Fukyo NEO3. Jupiter II Blue Sponge is close to the Hurricane NEO III Blue Sponge for the Ministry Team in a good way, so it is a rubber that I would like to recommend to those who cannot afford the Hurricane NEO III Blue Sponge for the Ministry Team because it is expensive! Also, the ball holding is outstanding, so it was very easy to do a high-quality loop drive. Other galaxy sticky rubbers such as Venus Blue Sponge and Apollo 5 were stiff and easy to play, so I felt it was difficult to rotate with a speed drive, but Jupiter II Blue The sponge is easy to rotate even with a speed drive, and I think it’s a rubber close to the Hurricane NEO III Blue Sponge for the Ministry of Teams. I had a pretty good impression of this area. Speaking of greed, 39° is still a little soft, so I personally prefer a little harder one, and the Hurricane NEO III Blue Sponge for the Ministry of Teams was still better in terms of rotation performance and habits. However, the Hurricane NEOIII Blue Sponge for the provincial team is expensive, so I thought that Jupiter II Blue Sponge was a pretty good rubber if I thought it was a cheap version.
It’s easier to hit a speed drive than Hurricane Blue Sponge!
Hurricane NEO III Blue Sponge for the Ministry of Teams is still super strong, so if you don’t use a method that suits your needs, you won’t be able to take full advantage of its high performance. Also, Hurricane is a rubber that is difficult to speed up, so I think it is necessary to compensate for the speed according to the outer ALC blade racket. I think this hit is the difficult part of Hurricane NEO III Blue Sponge for provincial teams. With the Jupiter II blue sponge, the speed drive was more stable than I imagined because it was soft. I think that this area is a rubber that can be driven more easily than leopard. However, its speed performance is also at a level that is better than hurricane-type rubber, and it may be easy to be dissatisfied with its speed performance compared to spin-type tension rubber. I imagine that this is a part where tastes are greatly divided. If possible, I imagine that the overall power can be increased by pasting it on an outer ALC blade racket to supplement the speed. If you still want to use Chinese-made adhesive rubber, the racket should be made of inner carbon (such as Hurricane Long V, which is said to be closer to outer than inner carbon) or so-called ALC type outer carbon (Zhang Jike ALC). ) or Lin Gaoyuan ALC), you may be a little worried about speed performance.
It is easy to put on the table, just an honor student rubber
After all, it is an adhesive rubber, so there is a tremendous sense of security on the table. Although it is not a rubber that specializes in rotation, you can get the same amount of rotation as the top rubber of the spin type tension rubber, and it may pale in comparison to the amount of spin of the Hurricane NEO III Blue Sponge for the Ministry of Teams. However, it is also a rubber that is easier to handle than the Hurricane NEO III Blue Sponge for the provincial team, so I think it will be an honor student rubber. An excellent balanced rubber, including the price, will be the Jupiter II Blue Sponge.
Each technical review
Forehand
Light hit A sticky rubber-like hitting feeling was transmitted. I think that it is good for those who want to hit the ball slowly.
Driving long balls and rallies Compared to spin-type tension rubber, the speed is slow because it settles well. Compared to the latest spin type tension rubber Evolution MX-D, the speed is still slow. It’s a stiff sponge, so I think you can hit the drive with a taste if you hit it.
Drive with open face After all, when hitting a speed drive with a Chinese adhesive rubber, I felt that it was easier to hit by opening the surface and applying rotation while flipping.
Top spin (loop) drive against back spin It was easy to hit a very high quality loop drive. I think that the Hurricane NEO III Blue Sponge for the provincial team can achieve a higher quality including shallowness and the sinking of the ball, but I think that the Jupiter 2 Blue Sponge can also hit a high-quality loop drive that can score enough points. .
Stop / push Because it grips, it was very easy to stop. nice one!
Serve It was good that the amount of rotation of the lower rotation could be obtained even with the serve that involved because it was an adhesive rubber. However, the serve as a whole is slow, so I think it’s better to check the power of a fast long serve and the quality of missing the opponent’s timing.
Backhand
Light hit I have the ball!
Driving long balls and rallies When you go down, the slowness of the ball stands out. This area may depend on your backhand technique. However, since it is easy to rotate, I thought that there was a great sense of stability.
Block Since the seat is soft, I felt that it was easily affected by the rotation of the other party.
Chiquita It’s really easy to do. Chiquita with a high sense of stability was made. The power (speed and amount of spin) may be a little low.
Comparison with other rubbers (personal impressions only)
Max Spin amount Hurricane NEO III Blue Sponge > Jupiter II Blue Sponge ≧ Tenergy 05
Speed Tenergy 05 > Jupiter II Blue Sponge > Hurricane NEO III Blue Sponge
発売時は人気でしたが丹羽選手が用具変更後にあまり結果を出せず、東京五輪2020ではV>15 Extra (V>15エキストラ)へ戻して参戦したこともあり、その後の人気はやや下がった印象です。一方で卓球You Tuberで全日本選手権にも出場した神戸TCの吉田和也コーチは、バック面に本ページでレビューするTriple Double Extra (トリプルダブルエキストラ)を使用されていますね。技術動画にも挙がっている2トンツッツキはトリプルダブルエキストラを使うことでさらに切れるようになったようですし、チキータやラリーでのバックボレーと、トリプルダブルエキストラの特徴を活かして得点していることを試合動画などで説明されています。
VICTAS (ヴィクタス)さんの性能表はややわかりにくかったですが、2022年のパンフレットから、スピードとシートの強さ (スピン)を軸にとった図が掲載されるようになりました。このような図を作成すると、右上にあるラバーが最も性能の高いラバーというイメージになります。図の中では、V>15 Stiff (V>15スティフ)やV>11 Extra (V>11エキストラ)が性能の高いラバーのように見えてきますね。実際の試打比較を今後してみたいところです。もちろん、2022年話題のV>20 Double Extra (V>20ダブルエキストラ)やV>22 Double Extra (V>22ダブルエキストラ)は高い性能値になっていますね。一方で本ページでレビューするTriple Double Extra (トリプルダブルエキストラ)は強粘着のためかスピード性能はかなり低く、シートも柔らかいのでスピン (シートの強さ)性能もそこまで高くない値となっていますね。
Triple Double Extra (トリプルダブルエキストラ)について注目すべきはVICTAS (ヴィクタス)ラバーの中で「弧線の高さ」が9.4と最も高い値になっていますね!VICTAS (ヴィクタス)のラバーは直線的なラバーが多いので、トリプルダブルエキストラは、その中でも弧線の強さが特徴のラバーといえるでしょう。続いて硬度計で測定した値比較です。
粘着ラバー自体、面を開いてスイングすることで良さが出るラバーだと思いますが、このTriple Double Extra (トリプルダブルエキストラ)も同様でした。あまりシートだけで打とうとするとシートが柔らかいので、味が出づらいです。むしろ面を開いて前へスイングし、弾くようにぶつけながらスポンジにくい込ませて回転をグイとかけてあげるとかなりいいドライブが打てると思います。シートで打つような打ち方はこのラバーの味が出づらくなるかと思います。硬いスポンジにガンガンくい込ませるように面を開いてドライブをするのが、トリプルダブルエキストラの味の出し方だと思います。

今回のレビューは、中国メーカーの粘着ラバーのレビューになります。中国というと、紅双喜(Double Happiness Shanghai、DHS)が有名ですが、今回レビューするのは、銀河 (YINHE、Miky Way、Galaxy) のJupiter II Blue Sponge (木星2ブルースポンジ)になります!みなさんご存知WRMさんののラバーですね。メーカー銀河の情報は、軽くググってみましたがあまり得られなかったので割愛させていただきます。銀河は、ラバーの名前に天体の名前を付けるメーカーで他にもアポロや月、金星、太陽などがあります。過去には月ブルーをレビューしています。やや重たいですが、コスパの良い粘着ラバーで個人的には、VICTAS (ヴィクタス)のTriple Double Extra (トリプルダブルエキストラ)に近いものを感じました。ツッツキはよく切れるし、シートは柔らかめで球持ちもいい。そんな月ブルーに続き、木星2ブルスポをレビューしていきたいと思います。

中国製らしいベタツキのある粘着ラバーでした。最近のドイツ製の粘着テンションラバー、例えばRasanter C53 (ラザンターC53)やOmega VII China Ying (オメガVIIチャイナ影)は、粘着感がないですが、中国製の粘着ラバーはやはりこのベタつきがいいですよね。この辺りは好みが分かれると思いますね。
