The Nittaku Goriki Kaisoku is described as an inverted rubber that has short-pips-like characteristics, and being recommended for smashing, flat hitting, and driving. Sounds crazy, right? But is it true? Find out in the full review here.

Dear Prof. Paddy,
Good Sir! What a coincidence, I just wrote my own Gozo review not too long ago.

Similarities, that is to say something we both agree:
1. Low throw
2. Short game is good / fair due to this rubber being a non-tensorized product.
3. Spin generation is relatively more difficult because of its lack of spin sensitivity.
4. It is more geared towards smashers and flat-hittters.

Divergent opinions:
1, I say it is heavy, Prof. deemed otherwise. When I replace my Butterfly Flextra with NGK, the weight of my set-up increases by 10g and I can feel the weight difference during play.

Will I switch to this rubber coming from Tenergy? The jury is still out there for me as I will need to play with it for a few more session to make a final decision. I am NGK for FH FYI.
