    High tension grain high rubber

    The combination of the D.TecS technology and the classical Grass provides absolutely new varieties of the undercut and cut defence. The built-in tension in the rubber surface and sponge makes the pimples more elastic and enables an incredible undercut. Excellent control and enough speed to counter the adversary‘s disturbing attacking balls.
    Now available in 0.5 and 0.9 mm!

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Renowned for its powerful automatic spin reversal from high-tension technology and exceptional speed, this rubber excels when mastered but demands significant learning curve and is unsuitable for beginners. Highly appreciated by cutmen and all-around defensive players.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Exceptional spin reversal and automatic ball transformation with minimal player input
    • Unusually high speed for long pips, delivering sharp pushing and smashing shots
    • High tension causes excessive bounce, requiring extensive control practice
    • Low spin sensitivity makes blocking and cutting strokes remarkably stable
    • Advanced rubber requiring experience; not recommended for long-pips beginners
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe variation and attacking speed are overwhelmingly superior; once mastered, it becomes addictive to use. Opponent's drives transform into well-cut returns with mere contact, delivering exceptional satisfaction in front-court cutting with penhold grip.
    ▽ CriticalExcessive bounce severely hinders control; performance deteriorates after 1-2 months of use. Unsuitable for beginners, and may feel insufficient for experienced players seeking more technical freedom in long-pips play.

      I used it on the backhand of my shakehand.
      I've used overseas-made pips before, like No.1 and Desperado, but this was the best.

      Chop-blocks are stable and the spin bites really well. Against a player of similar level, if you chop-block their loop drive, I don't think their second shot will lift.
      Depending on the plastic ball manufacturer, the block can float up, so which brand of ball you get is also part of the battle

      The push is also reasonably fast, so overall it's excellent.

      Grass.D.Tecs Easy to use, and versatile

      Reviews by user

      It's often said to fly too much and be hard to control, but this glued rubber is actually easy to handle.
      Chops have some bite, but they can be lifted normally (maybe that's just my lack of skill?)
      I don't feel much variation from it — about the same as Curl P1 by comparison.
      I was surprised how easy it is to attack with — you can hit it about as well as short pips.
      If you find it bounces too much to use, I'd suggest practicing with short pips first before switching to this.
      I'd recommend it to close-to-the-table all-round attacking players and to pips beginners.

      As a mid-distance penhold blocker, I just kept chopping down drives with it
      At around a junior-high level, if you properly angle your paddle and chop the drive back, it almost never comes back
      Even if the opponent tries to grind it out with loop drives, it just keeps getting cut more and more, so it's perfect for annoying people
      Since it's also a high-tension rubber, in a slower-paced match the push isn't all that fast speed-wise, but not many people can handle a ball that suddenly comes in close to a knuckle ball

      Reviews by user

      This thing is insane.
      It's got demon-level variation and a demon level of difficulty to match. This rubber goes after the opponent with variation,
      and after your wallet with its price.
      Mastering this rubber takes some know-how. Basically, just blocking by touching the ball won't control it and the ball flies off wildly. It's important to apply a certain amount of force yourself to slow the ball down and control it. Also, because its spin-reversal ability is too high, it noticeably struggles to produce a knuckle ball. It doesn't resemble any other pips rubber at all.
      If you can master it, you can absolutely wreck your opponent (#`皿´) with its insane variation and spin reversal, but because it's so hard to use, I ended up cheating on it with Curl lol

      rin - 0141029 (Experience: 4〜5 years) A monster rubber once mastered

      Reviews by user

      Being a tension pips rubber, it bounces a lot more compared to the Curl series or Feint series, which does make it feel hard to use, but it has spin-reversal performance that's incomparable to conventional pips.
      Once you get used to it, you can stop a loop drive within two bounces.
      A lot of people probably give up because it's hard to use, but this is a rubber that really shines once you master it, so I hope people stick with it.

      Poti (Experience: 6〜10 years) Easy to attack, and just a touch cuts sharply!

      Reviews by user

      Being a tension rubber, it has a speed that other long pips rubbers don't.
      The amount of variation feels far greater than other long pips rubbers. The variation is so strong it almost feels unsettling, and once you're used to it, it's a rubber that can score points with just a push or a short push alone.
      And what I felt was the best part is that you get a sharply spinning chop just by touching the ball. Even a chop you react to reflexively comes out sharp, letting you take the advantage in a rally.
      That said, control is difficult until you get used to it, so I wouldn't recommend it to long pips beginners.
      Once you get used to it, it shows tremendous power, so I highly recommend it!

      A mouse A nasty rubber

      Reviews by user

      Among pips rubbers, this one produces particularly nasty variation
      That said, when the opponent's drive is strong it tends to bounce a bit more, so I think it's harder to control
