I'm obviously eager to see this reviewed.

Yeah

But on second thought, there is a 48 degree version of Nanoflex already, what difference will the Hype sponge make?

That's exactly why I would like a review. I'm playing that version (which is an awesome, albeit widely overlooked and probably grossly underrated rubber) and am wondering how one would improve upon near-perfection.

According to the Korean distributor of Gewo, this Nanoflex FT KR generates more spin and feels softer than FT48.

Mmhh - the same topsheet on a sponge with the same hardness feels softer ...
If it´s going to be out in Germany I´ll try it out of curiousity. If it´s a Korean exclusive I think I might not

There are not many reviews of YNK88 on Korean TT forums yet, but I can share some common points on it.

Never have I ever played both rubbers, but all the reviews considered, YNK88 will be suitable for someone who felt Hype KR lacks catapault and spin, and for someone who felt Nanoflex FT48 lacks control in short games.

Here is a video clip of YNK testing it, and it seeems the throw is medium(slightly higher than Hype KR). Also YNK is repeating that it is very controllable.

With the grippy topsheet of FT48 and marginally softer sponge of Hype KR, YNK88 will lie somewhere between them.

So it can either be a good substitute for them, or new moderate rubber enough for general usage.

+YNK blades will be on the market next month. Then I will share pics.

Lee91, do you have any news/ pics about YNK blades?
I'm particulary curious about his penhold hinoki blade
