    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    A high-speed rubber specialized in speed performance that demonstrates excellent results once mastered, but the low spin and control properties make it selective of players. It is an individual rubber suitable for those who can leverage its hard sheet characteristics.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Exceptional speed performance
    • Hard sheet with quick ball release
    • Spin production falls short of modern rubbers
    • Difficult to handle until accustomed
    • Ideal for straight-hit forehand attacks
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveOnce you get used to it, it delivers amazing performance. The rubber shrinks and curves nicely when removed, and has a long lifespan that you can trust.
    ▽ CriticalSpin production is considerably inferior to modern tension rubbers, and it won't suit players who dislike hard rubbers. The quick ball release also makes it selective of players.

      This is just a fast rubber, period. It's specialized for speed performance, but the amount of spin might fall well short compared to modern tension rubbers. If you don't like hard rubbers, this definitely won't suit you - the ball also leaves the racket really quickly, so if you don't have a good feel for putting solid spin on the ball, it might just feel like an awkward rubber to use. I do think it's a pretty high-performance rubber once you master it, but it takes some courage to actually pick it up lol

      Once you get used to it, the performance is amazing. When you peel the rubber off, it shrinks and curls up a ton. It also lasts a long time.

      It's just fast!
      But the ball leaves the rubber quickly, so it's hard to use until you get used to it.
      People are pretty split on whether they like or hate the sound it makes on contact.

      The topsheet is hard, so speed comes easily.
      That said, you inevitably end up hitting with more of a flat, punchy stroke, which makes a brushing drive hard to pull off.
      Still, even accounting for the lack of spin, it's a rubber that just feels good to play with.

      I'd say it's positioned similarly to Nittaku's Fastarc S-1.
      The difference from the S-1 is that it's a bit harder.
      The speed is outstanding, and spin is a little harder to generate.
      Probably best suited for Japanese-penhold players who play that old-school one-shot forehand style of table tennis.

      The speed is top-notch, but everything besides speed is so-so — though a friend of mine said once you get used to it, it's really workable.

      Yotchi (Experience: 6〜10 years) Fast!

      Reviews by user

      The ball is just plain fast!
      But it tends to fly straight, so putting a solid topspin drive rotation on it makes it more stable.
      Best used on the forehand!
