    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    This speed-oriented tension rubber is highly praised for its excellent performance in flat hitting and smashing. However, its low spin capacity and difficulty in skill development are commonly cited challenges.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Produces high speed even with light contact
    • Extremely easy to execute flat hits and smashes
    • Strong defensive capabilities with easy blocking and countering
    • Difficult to generate spin, challenging for counter-topspin
    • Best for beginners and backhand, optimal for front-court attacking
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveSpeed is generated even with light strokes, and the exhilaration of smashing is unparalleled. Flat hitting is easy to execute, and blocking and countering enter effortlessly, making it ideal for those wanting to try high-tension rubber.
    ▽ CriticalSpin is difficult to apply, and counter-topspin is nearly impossible. Control is necessary, and in tense matches, overruns are easily committed. It struggles against sticky rubber opponents.

      You can hit smashes that feel really satisfying.
      Spin isn't great though, so loop drives are difficult, and I'd say it's more suited for the backhand.

      Takanashi (Experience: 4〜5 years) Speed is the best

      Reviews by user

      I used it on the backhand, and above all the speed is great. That said, shots tend to come out a bit loopy. If you're after speed, this rubber is perfect.

      Squid how (Experience: 2〜3 years) Very good!(ゝω・)ノ

      Above all, the speed is the best!
      But a plain speed-oriented topspin drive might be a bit weak. The best shots are meaty hits or drives closer to a drive-smash.
      Also, the blocking is amazing! ( ・ω・)ノ
      The fact that it doesn't generate much spin can actually work in your favor — if the ball happens to hit the racket well, a drive-smash gives you a perfect block, so it's just the best.
      The only downside is that it's hard to get spin on, so if you prioritize speed over spin, I'd highly recommend it. If you want to go full speed-type, try this first, and if it's still not enough, using the Bryce High Speed is a good move.

      Without (Experience: 2〜3 years) Easy to use

      Reviews by user

      Because of my swing, my backhand drive tended to come out looping, so I started using the S1 hoping to flatten the trajectory a bit.
      The feel on contact is solid, so it really helps correct the backhand drive, and even against a sharp push, adding a bit of spin right as the ball bounces lets you drive through with tremendous speed. Also, since my shots already tended to loop, combined with the soft topsheet, my backhand drives with a slightly loose trajectory ended up with insane spin — I've never had one come back off a block (lol)
      On top of that, using the low trajectory to hit loop drives close to the table is really easy.
      I've seen other reviews say the short game is hard with this rubber, but if anything I find pushes and chiquitas easy to put spin on and keep low.
      I'd definitely recommend this rubber to anyone looking to develop their backhand technique going forward.

      Edo love (Experience: Less than a year) God-tier speed is born

      Reviews by user

      My friend uses this, so I'll talk about it from the receiving end. Both drives and smashes come in too fast to return. The arc is low but the shots are incredibly sharp. And on top of that they land in with such good balance that it almost made me tear up for a second. The performance is amazing. Bottom line, it's a rubber you really don't want to face.

      Jumbo (Experience: 2〜3 years) Easy to smash!

      Reviews by user

      Used on the backhand
      When you hit a topspin drive with this rubber, you can produce really sharp shots! Backhand smashes are also easy to pull off.
      That said, the short game takes a bit of getting used to. Personally, I found blocking the easiest — it's stable enough that just touching the ball gets it in.
      I think this is perfect for players who attack close to the table and want to hit fast shots.

      Muramatsu style cut man (Experience: 2〜3 years) A speed rubber on par with Tenergy 64

      Reviews by user

      A junior teammate was using this, and I borrowed it for a bit to try.
      This rubber is amazing❗️ I was honestly surprised that you can get a rubber with the same speed performance as Tenergy for less money.
      On top of that, it grips a decent amount of spin too, so you get some really good shots. I'd recommend it for the forehand‼︎
