    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    The rubber is highly praised for its exceptional spin and speed performance, but requires considerable skill and power to master. It is recognized as a high-performance rubber for advanced players.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Spin performance is outstanding, rated among the best in tension rubbers
    • Hard sheet delivers high speed performance, ideal for speed drives
    • Suited for brushing strokes, achieving remarkable spin with proper technique
    • Difficult for beginners and weaker players to absorb the ball, advanced level required
    • Heavy rubber and hardness raise concerns about shoulder and arm strain
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveSpin performance rivals Tenergy and Fastarc G-1 with equally impressive performance. The serve has excellent bite, and powerful players will be completely satisfied.
    ▽ CriticalNot suitable for beginners and requires adequate foundational skills and muscle strength. The heavy rubber caused arm, shoulder, and neck pain during continuous use, leading some players to abandon it.

      Andro fan Insane.

      Reviews by user

      The spin is insane.
      Among tension rubbers, the grip is second to none. That gives you great control too. Since I play a spin-focused style, this is perfect for me. Even for players who focus on speed, I'd recommend it — the spin makes the ball feel faster and heavier.
      That said... the grip is so strong that I sometimes overshoot with it. Also, since it's easily affected by incoming spin, it's not great for defense, but with chops you can overwrite the incoming spin, so fair warning: dead chops incoming a lot lol

      Dora I Doraemon (Experience: 4〜5 years) The go-to rubber for spin

      Reviews by user

      On top of being hard to control, I think it just doesn't have enough speed.
      That said, the spin you get by brushing the surface is insane.
      I don't have much power so it's hard to sink the ball in, but drives brushed off the surface are amazing.
      It's so much fun watching opponents overshoot my drives lol

      Matsuken fan (Experience: 2〜3 years) It was the best‼

      Reviews by user

      By far the best rubber I've ever come across.
      Both the speed and the spin blew away my expectations — it really hit me.
      I'd say the spin is top-class among German tension rubbers.
      Close to the table for the short game, the 50° sponge doesn't let the ball sink in much, so it's easy to drive off a push using just the grip of the sheet, and loop drives and chops from mid or far distance were easy too. On top of that, serves bite well, it's easy to vary long and short, and power drives and speed drives both have real power behind them — overall I felt it was a really great rubber.

      Taku Easy to generate spin

      Reviews by user

      First off, it's really easy to put spin on.

      On top of that, it gives good speed too.

      The sponge has a lot of air bubbles in it, so the ball sinks in nicely.

      For penhold, the plain sheet side is probably the safe choice. For shakehand, either side works.

      The downside is that the grip drops off pretty quickly.

      Another downside is that it's hard to find places that sell it.

      Still worth trying. Definitely recommend it.

      It said "grip like never before" on the package, and it really is exactly that.
      Driving against backspin was super easy with this.
      It bounces a little more than expected, but I think that's fine once you get used to it.
      I managed to get good results with this, so it was great.
      It suits a power-oriented style. Definitely worth trying.

      under (Experience: More than 20 years) Spins well, but,

      Reviews by user

      Compared to the other Rasant series rubbers, the sponge is harder. Maybe that's the reason it bites so well?

      Like WR○ said too, it really bites. I'd say it's even better than Tenergy in that regard.

      But it does have a downside. It feels like it wears out a bit fast.

      Little by little it stops biting and somehow loses its bounce too.

      It's a bit of a pain that it's hard to find, but it's surprisingly easy to use, so give it a try.
