Jupiter II Soft is the softest and lightest of this lining, the firm made the Soft version at our request in the summer of 2018. Jupiter II in its tougher versions has excellent gaming properties, but many players would like such not very fast, but control and tenacious overlay with a softer sense. So I (Syzachevsky) puzzled the company with the request, and they soon sent the result.
The resulting Soft version (marking in degrees it does not have, unlike other versions) has not only a softer sponge, but also a softer tops, and in general in general a much softer feeling. At the same time, the ability to spin is very strong. Attacking capabilities are good, and Soft best manifests itself in hovering popspines and in attack on the place with strong rotation, then the rest have a greater slope in the power and speed attack.
The block and flat kick are just outstanding. Despite the brutally tenacious stomping, the lining turned out almost not reacting to the incoming rotation, so that to punch, and to substitute - very comfortable.
As a result, this overlay does not apply to hybrids as more rigid counterparts, but rather to a purely European type - light in weight, soft and not sticky (a small stickiness is in the deversed lining, but soon passes). And in terms of speed and tactical purpose, this is an allround overlay that can be used for both defensive and attacking actions.
For defenders, we specifically ordered this overlay on thinner sponges - 1.8 and 1.5 mm and even 1.0 mm. And she immediately received good reviews for her outstanding ability to trim and block, as well as a very strong rotation on serve. Suitable for defenders of any level who need a soft overlay.
For aggressive attackers will be too soft and slow. But all-round tennis players loving soft and very tenacious linings to attack on the spot and on rotation - will have to come by the way. As well as the attackers who are in the stage of formation of equipment. As for the staging of the technique, it is perfect for this purpose for both the attacker and the defender.
It does not impose any requirements on the technique, so it will be great for amateurs or novice players to put the technique. Although it is not an "amateur" or "rookie" overlay (like Adler or Learn Spin and other similar), and unlike such new-overs, it will suit high-level players (but not attacking style).
And here you can read a short overview of the Jupiter II Medium lining. And the version of Hard, by the way, from the summer of 2018 is played by the master of sports Nikolai Lyely (left). Keep in mind that this Soft version is very different from the tougher versions.
