Produces aggressive low arc trajectories
Japanese-made with stable quality

■ Representative Voices

▲ PositiveBoth spin and speed are solid without being exceptional. The excellent balance and ease of use are standout features. Rubbers that combine attacking power with controllability are surprisingly rare, yet this one achieves both.

▽ CriticalApart from stability on short balls, there is little to praise. Aeroloc itself is difficult to use, and cannot be recommended to those who don't favor this rubber.

Monitan. (Experience: １１〜２０ years) Currently my main rubber.

I like that nobody around me uses this. Since it's made in Japan, the topsheet grip is great, and while the speed is just okay, the control is good, so I can hit with confidence. It's also fairly light.
Compared to Airoc S, the sheet feels harder, which seems to have bumped up the speed.
I'm satisfied with the performance for this price.
For me personally, pairing it with Infinity is the strongest combo so far.

Yekibuko Yasaburo (Experience: ２〜３ years) Good balance

Nothing about it stands out, like spin or speed, but neither is low either.
That's the good thing about the Airoc Astro. It's a well-balanced, easy-to-use tension rubber with high overall performance.
At table tennis shops, rubbers with a strong personality seem to be the popular ones, so this one tends to get overlooked, but rubbers that are both easy to handle and hit hard are actually pretty rare.
Just casually rallying with it, you can produce a low, aggressive arc, or you can play it completely safe and stable. Even hitting a low, aggressive trajectory, it goes in reliably.
I have no intention of switching.

Yutchi @ cut S over M

I think the S version of the Airoc suits me better than the M after all. That said, the Airoc itself is honestly hard to use — aside from its stability in the short game, I can't really find much else to praise. I wouldn't recommend it unless you already like the Airoc.
