    The soft version of Genius Optimum has an extremely strong catapult effect paired with a light playing sensation. You’ll feel how the energy transfers from your bat to the ball. A weapon for players who, although they privilege a soft attack, do not want to give up explosive strokes in an open game near or far from the table. The energy loaded sponge combined with the newly developed rubber surface offers an optimal mixture of dynamism, playing sensation, sound and control.

      Nora (Experience: 6〜10 years) Crisp sound, speed, and stability

      Reviews by user

      This is the loudest, most satisfying sound I've heard since a glued rubber, or the Pride 30, or the Charge MF.
      I tried it on both forehand and backhand, and honestly, more than the power, what I enjoy is that satisfying metallic ping every time you hit the ball.
      Sure, the topspin drive is reasonably fast too, but compared to more recent rubbers, both the spin and speed are probably about average.
      That said, this satisfying sound has a charm that no other rubber can replicate.
      There are a few other rubbers out there now with a similarly satisfying sound, but this one has a slightly different feel for holding the ball.
      Because of that, even drives from away from the table, or shots hit more like a meet-shot, oddly enough still land on the table.
      Overall, I don't think you'll regret this rubber, so I'd really like people to try it at least once.

      It's not that the amount of spin is amazing, but in terms of how easy it is to put spin on and how well you can control it, it boasts one-of-a-kind performance, so if you value stability, there's no reason not to use it!

      Monitan. (Experience: 11〜20 years) Easy to use, and it sounds great.

      Reviews by user

      Light, soft, and it makes a nice sound.
      Speed and spin are so-so.
      If you sink the ball in and hit hard, speed and spin go up.
      Control is good, so mistakes go down.
      The trajectory feels pretty straight to me, personally.
      Performance for the price feels a bit pricey, but with the nice sound and good control, I think it's a rubber that makes table tennis fun.

      It uses a soft sponge, so control is pretty easy. It also gets decent speed, so the performance is solid even as an attacking rubber. Serves are easy to do too, and the return after that goes in easily.

      Yutchi @ cut Really high performance

      Reviews by user

      You can pull off every technique at a very high level with this. It really has that feel of an all-around honor student that can do anything. The chopping performance is high, so you don't have to worry much about controlling the ball, you can focus purely on cutting it and placing it where you want, which makes it really easy to use! A rubber that appeals to everyone!
