Blast (Killerspin)

Killerspin's new BLAST is cutting-edge rubber made especially for advanced skill, topspin players looking for extra power. Like Killerspin's Fortissimo, the Blast's rubber consists of a hybrid topsheet made of an elastic compound, which generates amazing rebound, as well as a soft compound that helps grab the ball and create more spin. Equal components of natural and synthetic rubber give an extra spring effect. However, the Blast's topsheet is stiffer than that of Fortissimo, generating extra power for a wicked shot. The Blast also features a made-in-Japan soft sponge, ideal for powerful topspin shots with great control, and German "Torqsion TechnologyTM", which is stronger than normal tension standards, and gives the rubber an added performance edge.

Okay, i tried this rubber out due to killerspin sending me this rubber for writing reviews for them. This rubber actually impressed me because at the beginning i thought it'd completely be useless to me. However, i slowly started to find out that this rubber is VERY fast, and decently controlled. it reminds me a little bit of tenergy but the durability seems to be a bit better. However, for every good thing, theres a bad thing and i feel like this rubber does not have as good feeling as tenergy does on the loop.

This rubber is general is not bad. The rubber is quite hard and i guess if anybody wants a rubber thats fast and wants to finish the point fast then this wud be great! Killerspin products will slowly get better and better and dont be surprised if butterfly rubber aren't the only top products on the market
