    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    This high-elasticity rubber is valued for its control-focused design that differs from modern tension-type rubbers. Its stability for beginners to intermediate players is recognized, but many users feel it lacks speed and spin compared to recent rubbers.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points

    • Soft and easy-to-use high-elasticity rubber for beginners
    • Moderate bounce aids stability in blocks and receives
    • Less flight distance compared to modern tension systems
    • Proper thickness selection brings out full performance
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveControl is exceptionally good with easy spin generation, making it ideal for beginners' first or second rubber and for stabilizing drive shots. Reduces tension rubber failures and enables stable match victories.
    ▽ CriticalCompared to trendy tension-type and energy-storing rubbers, it has modest bounce and requires strength for powerful drives and smashes. Speed and spin performance fall short of modern rubbers.

      Pivot (Experience: 6〜10 years) After going full circle...

      Reviews by user

      These days, with no-glue and plastic balls,
      tension rubber plus a special-material blade
      gets talked about like it's the obvious choice.

      I think a lot of people are working from that assumption
      and trying out all kinds of combinations,
      and I was one of them too.

      But then

      "When I swing all the way through it goes long, it flies off"
      "My receives got worse somehow"
      ↓in other words
      "I've been kind of self-destructing in matches"

      — that worry went on for a long time,
      so I wondered what combination would actually solve the problem,
      and on a whim I tried putting on the "Mark V AD" I used to love,
      and honestly, this isn't bad at all.

      I felt like the idea that "high-bounce = mediocre" or "high-bounce = for beginners"
      might be just as unreliable as "tension rubber plus special-material blade."

      Bottom line: even swinging all the way through, my drives go in,
      my receives come back stable,
      and I'm back to beating opponents I couldn't beat before.

      Given all this, I guess equipment is something
      you really do have to judge for yourself,
      without getting swayed by ads or trends.

      Reviews by user

      I used to love this rubber, so I went back to basics and tried it again after a long time. This is the max-thickness version.
      The hardness is about medium, roughly the same as Sriver EL, I'd say. The bounce is on the modest side and it's easy to get spin on, so I think it's a great fit for beginners.
      The control is excellent, so it's perfect as a beginner's first or second rubber, or for anyone who wants to make their topspin drives more consistent.

      Elementary school students (Experience: 6〜10 years) A mysterious topsheet

      Reviews by user

      Compared to Rozena, a tension rubber, this one doesn't bounce as much. But it flies more than the Jamin I used before. I have it on the backhand (inverted side), and it's easy to chiquita with.
      There's a reason I rated the spin a 9. After putting a Nittaku tacky protective sheet on it, it became slightly tacky. My Rozena on the other side didn't do that even with the same treatment. It's not even a TSP protective sheet, so honestly, it's a bit of a mystery.

      Master (Experience: 2〜3 years) !?!?

      Reviews by user

      Someone recommended this to me early on so I tried it. (Black, medium thickness)
      At first I used it on the backhand, but maybe because it's on the softer side I never really got used to it.
      So I tried hitting with it on the forehand instead...
      Easy to use!
      Being soft makes it easy to control!
      It spins well too, and if you swing all the way through you get speed as well.
      Personally I'd recommend putting it on the forehand

      I've never seen such an easy-to-use rubber! It spins well, it's fast, and it's easy to control. So glad I found this rubber!

      And imitation (Experience: 2〜3 years) An overall stable rubber

      Reviews by user

      First, even against a series of hard hits, you can block easily just by putting your blade out. That said, compared to today's popular tension-type or energy-sponge rubbers, it's far behind — more of an old-school rubber. The bounce is on the modest side, so you need power to hit strong drives and smashes. Since it doesn't bounce much, the control is good, so it might be a good one to start with and switch away from once you get used to it.

      It gets a decent amount of spin, but it feels a little lacking. Still, I think the control is good. Also, if you're going to use it, I'd go with the thick version since it doesn't bounce much.
