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!
- Long pimples
Players use Grass D.tecS
- 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

I was talked into using long pips on the backhand, feeling kind of tricked into it.
Chopping is easy to do.
Honestly, unless you practice a lot, you can't use things like blocking well. (just my personal impression)
On the other hand, contrary to how it looks, smashes go in pretty well.
It feels like it flies quite a bit, so I think it takes time to get used to using it.All Speed Spin Control

How much it bounces depends on the thickness of the pips
The pips are fairly stiff and bend, so it tends to fly a bit too much, but in exchange the spin-reversal effect is strong - the more spin the opponent puts on the ball, the more power this rubber delivers.
That said, it bounces a lot overall, so you do need to be careful.All Speed Spin Control

I was using this with penhold pips, and I was honestly shocked at how much it bounces.
It bounced enough to make me think "does it really go this far?"
Well, the fact that just blocking the ball creates variation
is something you won't find with other rubbers. (Even if it does bounce a lot…)
I'd recommend it for attacking-style choppers.
Defensive-style players should use a blade that doesn't bounce much.
Pairing it with an ordinary blade is rough.
I'd say don't use it for penhold pips.
It'd be great if you could find a blade that matches it well, though…All Speed Spin Control

I used this first when I became a chopper. Once you get used to it, your chops get insanely sharp lol
I was playing with the Matsushita Pro Model blade, so the bounce felt just right.
1.2mm is just about right!All Speed Spin Control

First off, since it's a tension pips rubber, it has a lot of bounce.
If you're using it for chopping, I'd recommend a blade that keeps the bounce down and playing from mid to far from the table.
That said, if you put it on a harder blade, it turns into an aggressive pips rubber.
You can hit intense, spin-less shots with pips drives and smashes.
Even for penhold pips or an unorthodox attacking style, if you practice with it, you'll become a really tough player for opponents to deal with.
Also, if you want to prioritize control, I think OX is a safe choice.All Speed Spin Control

I used to have this on a Joo Se-hyuk blade, but I stopped using it because it was too bouncy and too much of a wild horse.
After that I got curious about the 1Q, another Tibhar rubber, and bought it, along with a new blade to match, so I put it on the backhand to try out an all-Tibhar combination.
I'd heard it pairs well with the 1Q, and when I tried it, the wild-horse behavior was toned down quite a bit. Also, probably because the blade keeps the bounce in check, I made fewer overshooting mistakes.
I'm especially grateful that my blocks became more stable. Chops also had fewer overshoot mistakes. On the attacking side, it's strong for throwing the opponent's rhythm off and for just blocking the ball back with the opponent's own spin intact. Since the pips are tall and soft, flick-style shots let you enjoy more variation than you'd expect. That said, it's still an advanced-level rubber, so if you're using long pips for the first time, you're probably better off practicing with a more beginner-friendly long pips rubber first.All Speed Spin Control

A wild horse
That phrase feels like it was made specifically for this rubber.
But if I had to describe this rubber in one phrase, "wild horse" fits best.The spin-reversal effect reminds me of anti-spin rubber.
When you chop a loop drive,
far from lifting the ball up, your push
ends up sticking straight into the net lolOn the other hand, control is incredibly hard to come by.
Part of it is that it's 1.2mm thick,
but it goes off wildly out of your control.
It took me about a month
to really get used to it myself.
I can't really recommend it for choppers.
Also, if you're going to use it, I think OX is the better option.If you want control, go with Feint Long
If you want to chop like crazy, go with Glass
If you like hard pips, go with CurlThat's roughly how I'd sum it up.
If you're thinking
"I want to chop like crazy!"
then I think it's worth using.All Speed Spin Control
