Yutchi @ cut A speed type that still grips spin

I'd say this might be the short pips rubber with the most spin among the speed-oriented ones. Spectol really lives up to its long sales history — it's a high-performing rubber!

I used this back when I was a close-to-the-table quick-attack player. In the short game it puts spin on the ball, and when attacking it comes out as a knuckle ball, making it easy to score.

Karetan

The sponge is quite firm, but that firmness is exactly what makes it so fast.
On top of that, it's easy to produce knuckle balls with it, so I think it's a really annoying rubber for the opponent to face.

China Rubber Old-school

This is the hard-sponge version of Spectol, a short pips rubber that's been on the market for a long time.
That signature Spectol variation is still there, and it's easy to use.
That said, I also felt that being harder makes it a bit less controllable.
I'd recommend it for attacking choppers or players with an unorthodox style.
It's cheap and long-lasting too, so it's good for beginners.
Between the regular Spectol and this one, I'd definitely recommend
this one.

Rudiger (Experience: ６〜１０ years)

You can get quite a bit of speed out of it, and for short pips it actually takes spin well, plus the control isn't bad.
I think it also suits close-to-the-table attacking players who want to add some variation on the backhand.
