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 Orange (2.0mm) and red Nittaku Genextion V2C (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 Orange 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 Orange 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 Genextion V2C employs the perfect blend of micro-adhesiveness to ensure the right contact time between the ball and the rubber. It is less susceptible to the opponent's strong spin, making it easier to control, especially in tabletop techniques. In addition, it firmly grips the ball, even when swinging horizontally with the paddle face covering it, allowing for high-quality counterattacks at an early impact point. The trajectory of the ball sinks sharply after hitting the table, toying with the opponent. For players who use high-quality tabletop techniques and counterattacks as weapons.
By maximizing grip and enabling horizontal swings, you can hit the ball deep into the court and overwhelm your opponent. In addition, it provides stability in tabletop techniques to take the initiative, enhancing your advantage in the game.
