Paddle Palace Club's Head Coach Jiwei Xia currently plays with the Nittaku Gyo-En blade (flared handle), assembled with black Nittaku Hurricane Pro 3 Turbo Blue (2.0mm)* and red Fastarc G-1 (2.0mm) rubber.
PLAYING STYLE: Offensive Spin
Jiwei’s Setup: I rely on precision and a relentless offensive style. Generating an incredible amount of velocity requires a very dense rubber such as Nittaku Hurricane Turbo Blue in order to withstand and cope with the energy transferred to the ball. This equipment allows me to make full use of my advanced technique
while maintaining the control and feeling required to play with finesse when needed.
THE BLADE: Nittaku Gyo-En, representing Dawn Flame, is from the new Irodori Series of Nittaku blades. Straight trajectory born from high repulsion. By placing the new material KVC3 on the outer layer, while achieving both grasp and flying distance, Nittaku has created a blade that produces higher repulsion. Overwhelm your opponent with a straight trajectory that penetrates deeply into the table while maintaining a sense of stability in delicate tabletop processing. The wide grip shape makes it easy to exert power at impact and creates a powerful ball.
BLACK RUBBER:* Collaboration of Japanese and Chinese technology has produced the Nittaku Hurricane Pro III Turbo Blue rubber! The tacky/sticky topsheet made in China is combined with a dense hard, high-quality, high elasticity sponge made in Japan. Also includes Nittaku's active charge (AC) technology which improves speed performance. Compared to the Nittaku Hurricane Pro 3 Turbo Orange, this rubber has a harder sponge and gives extra power.
RED RUBBER:The Nittaku Fastarc G-1 rubber is "Fast" with an "Arc"! A power topsheet with a built-in tension power sponge produces the ideal combination of ball speed and ball arc - an outstanding powerful spin ball. G-1 means "Grip First". Choose Fastarc G-1 for more spin with great power.
*We are very low on stock of Nittaku Hurricane Pro 3 Turbo Orange, so will be substituting with Turbo Blue temporarily.
