    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly rated as a soft tension rubber for beginners to intermediate players, particularly recommended for backhand use. Excellent spin and control performance, though some find speed and power output insufficient for advanced players.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Soft sponge with good grip, making spin easy to apply
    • Excellent control performance with stable feel for beginners
    • Optimal for backhand, ideal for lift shots and drives against backspin
    • Modest speed performance with noticeable power loss
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveGreat spin and exceptional control performance. Strong grip creates perfect arc, making it an all-around rubber suitable for beginners to intermediate players.
    ▽ CriticalOverly soft with significant power loss, unsuitable for speed-oriented play. Difficult for players accustomed to harder rubbers; compatibility greatly affects user satisfaction.

      TIBHAR A fun rubber

      Reviews by user

      I put this on my backhand, but the topsheet is soft, which makes brushing shots difficult. I think people who like to bite into the ball when they hit will like this rubber. The sponge is soft too, so the ball really sinks in. However, once you get to intermediate level and above, it seems like it can be too soft and cause the ball to drop off short. If you like soft rubbers, this is a really fun one.

      This rubber has two great things going for it:
      1. It generates insane amounts of spin.
      2. The control is ridiculous.
      First, just a simple swing lets the ball sink in, and you can lift backspin balls with ease. On top of that, you can aim your drives right up to the very edge of the sideline. Highly recommended.

      (I use this on the backhand side of my racket.)

      Equipment love Soft.

      Reviews by user

      The topsheet is soft, so it felt softer than its 40-degree rating. Because of that, it's not suited to people who like to brush the ball when they hit.
      I hit with a brushing style, so this isn't a rubber I like.
      I think it's a good rubber for beginners though.

      Sho-go (Experience: 11〜20 years) Soft rubber

      Reviews by user

      It's rated 40 degrees, on the softer side, but when I actually hit with it, it felt even a bit softer than that.
      The ball sinks in nicely, but there's still solid grip, so it draws a clean arc.
      It has no quirks, and if you hit it firmly, the sound is satisfying too.
      Personally, I found flat hitting from mid-distance really easy and satisfying with this rubber.
      It's also light, so I'd recommend it to anyone concerned about the racket's overall weight.

      Since my blade has a hard surface, I went with the 40.
      It's very easy to control, and I really like it.
      It generates plenty of spin, and it's easy to lift backspin balls too — enough that it makes you feel like you've gotten better.
      That said, it's fairly soft, so I don't think it will suit anyone looking for above-average hardness.

      PARADOX (Experience: 2〜3 years) Amazing amount of spin

      Reviews by user

      I used this on my backhand.
      My first thought was, "wait, why does this spin so much..."
      So yeah, that's how much spin it generates.
      But it's not just about the spin — I also found it easy to do backhand drives and finer techniques with this rubber!!

      Mythos - Yggdrasil (Experience: 4〜5 years) A bit too soft, but...

      Reviews by user

      It's rated at 40 degrees hardness, but it feels ridiculously soft.
      I felt it was strictly a backhand-only rubber, though people who care about the sound might be fine using it on both sides.
