High quality rubber sheet. Medium-hard sponge (mine is pink). It is written TENSOR on the sponge, though no word about it in the description, and it does not feel like one. Less tacky than DHS H3 Neo (the ball is held upside-down not more than a second), and is of about the same weight. It has less spin than DHS H3 Neo, but speed is at least the same. Not a bouncy rubber (I switched from Palio Macro Era), but has enough speed even for the far-from-table game if you hit harder. Excellent for close-to-table game, flicks, serves, top spins. Due to the low arc, blocks are easy, but slow, I need to push. Cannot say about life time, but all the rest is impressive. I like Kokutaku more and more.
This is an excellent progression for players who want a Chinese Tacky but with the speed of a German or Japanese Offensive rubber. Compared to Hurricane 2 it's a lot lighter, has some give in the sponge and less natural lift of the ball. The main difference though is it's really quick, and plays flat loop attacks far better at the cost of less vicious spin on serves and high loops. The real comparison rubbers are Tenergy and Magna, but compare the prices! The 007 is apparently the fastest of the series.
I use japan sponge 868 rubber on Galaxy T-11 blade and pure wood All blade, it's good offensive low price rubber. Excellent for upgrading stock bats. Durability is lower then Hurricane H3. Better for FH.
