First off, the strong point of this rubber is its consistency — not just for soft and hard hitting shots, but also for spin-based techniques like topspin drives and pushes, it holds up really steadily. It bounces well too, so you can handle rallies with a meet-hit style all the way to mid-distance. Serves also grip well — maybe because it's a horizontal-pip rubber, you can get about as much variation as with inverted rubber, plus decent ball speed, so it's pretty easy to produce serves that feel true to short pips. Next, about knuckle balls — I can control whether or not I produce one on purpose, and switching between the two is easy to do. Just keep in mind that since it's basically horizontal pips, it won't naturally produce knuckle balls on its own. Third, ball control — even though it's a fairly hard tension rubber, you can freely vary length and power, which honestly surprised me a bit. On the downside, it doesn't stand out especially in speed or spin, so among short pips rubbers it's pretty middle-of-the-road. If all you want is consistency, this works, but if you're after flashy winners or spin and variation that throws your opponent off, it might feel lacking. For players who've played short pips for years and want more consistency than vertical-pip rubbers but more aggression than horizontal-pip ones, I'd recommend this. To sum it all up after this long review, it's an all-around style short pips rubber. Hope this helps anyone considering it.

This is aimed at players switching from inverted rubber to short pips.
Serves can be cut really well, but topspin drives tend to fly flat and straight, so I'd recommend making meeting the ball flat your main weapon.
Among short pips rubbers it's pretty stable, and the short game is decent too. So if you're interested in short pips, I think this is the number one rubber you should buy.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Back when I played actively, I used short pips, but after getting back into table tennis I used inverted rubber for a while before switching back to short pips.
Worried I'd end up netting a lot of shots, I went with Spinart, a horizontal-pip, spin-oriented rubber. After a bit of practice the net mistakes went away — my arm technique is part of it too, but if anything I now overhit more often than I net. It handles similarly to inverted rubber, so I'd recommend it to anyone thinking about making the switch.
The sponge is speed-oriented and lets the ball go quickly, so if you graze it for serves and topspin drives, you get a decent amount of spin.
If you commit and meet the ball flat, you get exactly the kind of good, fast ball you'd expect from a speed-oriented rubber.
The downside, I feel, is that it's hard to keep blocks short.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

What you can rely on this rubber for is:
speed, how well it pops the ball, spin, and control.
On the other hand, what you can't rely on this rubber for, and have to make up for with your own skill, is:
knuckleballs, controlling how hard or soft you hit, and defensive/connecting shots.
Among short pips rubbers, its attacking ability is the best of the best.
If you can practice and cover for the knuckleballs that are hard to produce with this rubber, it becomes a rubber you can win with.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I switched to this from Moristo SP on my backhand. The first time I hit with it, the ball really flew off (might just be my own issue though). But as I got used to it, shots started landing in. Even though it's a short pips rubber, it generates a decent amount of spin, so it might be a good recommendation for anyone using short pips for the first time.

I used Rakza PO for a long time. With the antibacterial ball, Rakza felt too hard and I started missing more when I hit flat and hard, so I thought switching to a softer sponge might give me more stability, and I moved to Spinart!
Before using it I figured it would fly a lot, but once I actually used it, it stayed on the table better than I expected.
More than anything, hitting with it gave that refreshing feel typical of short pips! Since it's horizontal-pip, spin is easy to generate, but it's also easy to get speed and control, so I made it my main rubber!
People say Spinart doesn't produce knuckleballs easily, but if you press down and block from above, you can get knuckleballs pretty easily. Since switching to this rubber, everything has become more stable overall!
The counter-hit is especially good! Whether you play penhold or shakehand, if you're using short pips on the forehand, it's a rubber worth trying at least once!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

A rubber that doesn't grip the ball much but still has good bounce.
Serves can be cut really sharply.
Meeting the ball flat gives good ball release and speed.Blocks carry speed and extend well, but on the other hand they don't slow down, so it's a bit of a double-edged sword.
Topspin drives are easy to put spin on.
I switch between a light, quick graze and a heavier stroke that really digs into the sheet, and both are easy to do.For pushes, with vertical-pip rubbers I used to hit with that typical short-pips downward jabbing motion, but since this rubber has horizontal pips, I can push it the same way as regular inverted rubber.
Also, because it's horizontal-pip, it's less affected by humidity than vertical-pip rubbers, so it doesn't lose its grip as much in matches on rainy days.
