Paddle Palace Club Coach Jay Crystal currently plays with the Nittaku Tornado King Speed blade (flared handle), assembled with black Tibhar Evolution MX-P (2.1mm) and blue Donic Bluestorm Z1 (max+) rubber.
PLAYING STYLE: Aggressive Offense
THE BLADE: The Nittaku Tornado King Speed is made with top specifications, with high speed performance and stability! The surface plate is thick, rotating the amount of the power-up of speed drive by to achieve a good and not too hard feel at impact of the ball! It is equipped with a Kevlar ® carbon with a hard shot feeling and enhanced speed performance.
BLACK RUBBER: Tibhar Evolution MX-P is the fastest and most dynamic rubber of the EVOLUTION rubber family. Thanks to the perfect adjustment of the pimple geometry, more flexibility is conferred to attacking balls extra energy. MX-P is very well adapted to any player's game, making no concession in terms of speed and spin. The ball/bat contact time of the MX-P is a little bit longer than the reference time, thus conferring much more sensation. Chosen by topspin players willing to feel the necessary pressure of their strokes at the table and at half distance. PRO-TENSION rubber surface is grippy and rich in spin, with perfect elasticity and stability. RED POWER SPONGE is bright red, open porous, and spectacular. Adapts perfectly to the situation.
BLUE RUBBER: Donic Bluestorm Z1 with its medium pored sponge and a short, wide pimple structure is the hardest and fastest of the three Bluestorm versions. It has immense power. However, in order to engage with so much horse power, a competent driver is required behind the wheel. A well trained player, master of the fastest game, will find Z1 to be a lethal weapon. Topspins with this rubber are quick as lightning!
BLUESTORM: A comprehensively thinner top surface rubber, subjected to high tension, allows space for a thicker sponge - generating extra power and speed. The Donic Bluestorm Series offers noticeably greater acceleration while retaining its outstanding spin and speed characteristics.
