The Kokutaku range of rubber are a collaborative effort between the Japanese company Kokutaku, and the Chinese company Tuttle. Although the rubbers are manufactured in China, they are obviously under the quality control constraints of their Japanese partner, as the quality of these rubbers are outstanding, and among the best we�ve seen. All the rubbers that we carry employ their Explosion III technology, which is designed to offer explosive power on higher impact strokes. The Chinese topsheet and PREMIUM quality Japanese and German sponges combine to produce a tacky rubber with a euro type feel.

A variant of the popular Kokutaku 007 range of rubbers. A tacky topsheet with a  medium soft premium quality Japanese sponge. The tacky topsheet gives it great control in the short game, while the Japanese sponge and the Explosion III technology offer enough power for an attack. The 007 is a little more speed oriented compared to the 868, but still offers plenty of spin and control. On high impact it feels it has a catapult-like effect, offer greater speed with little effort.

It is suitable for more for a controlled attacking style game, but still offers very good control for more defensive strokes. It is known to respond well to speed glue. Don't be fooled by the cheap pricetag, these are some of the highest quality chinese rubbers you'll find. The feel of the rubber is much more euro-like.
