    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly rated as a high-performance rubber comparable to Tenacious, with excellent durability and cost-performance. The German-made product features individual variations and a softer feel despite 47-degree hardness, with stability across all techniques and balanced rotational performance gaining widespread user support.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • High spin and speed rivaling Tenacious
    • Superior durability with long lifespan and excellent value
    • Particularly excellent for counter-drive against backspin
    • High stability in all short-range techniques
    • Outstanding grip power from large grain design
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe spin performance rivals sticky rubber—I was amazed that tension rubber could apply such rotation. Michelin's durability enables long-term use, and the overall cost-effectiveness surpasses Tenacious.
    ▽ CriticalInitial spin is easy to apply, but after one week it becomes a normal tension rubber and performance drops significantly. The forehand feels too soft and underwhelming, making Tenacious better value at this price point.

      Using it on my forehand.
      I like it a lot.
      Serve: Sharp spin. I switched over from a tacky rubber and it holds up just as well.
      Drive: Looping is really easy. Against backspin it was about average. Topspin-to-topspin rallies felt really good.
      Block: Super stable.
      Chop: A lot of reviews say it's hard to chop with, but I found it quite easy, and it grips the ball well.
      This is a rubber that brings every technique up to a high level.

      Even just hitting light forehand shots, I got quite a bit of spin. It feels similar to Tenergy.
      That said, compared to the 05 it felt softer.
      Maybe because of that, it felt like it grabbed the ball a bit too much sometimes. It was pretty good on the forehand, but it's easier to use on the backhand!
      Here's the breakdown by category.
      (Used on forehand)
      Serve → Really sharp! Short serves might float up a little though?

      Receive → Stop was fairly easy to do. Flick was a little hard to control.

      Drive → Against backspin, it's really easy to lift the ball! It's a bit weak in topspin-to-topspin rallies.

      Counter → Neither good nor bad, just average.

      (Used on backhand)
      Receive → Stop is easy just like on the forehand. Chiquita has a nice spin feel to it. The ease of lifting backspin really shines here.

      Drive → Backspin was easy to lift here too. I can't really review topspin-to-topspin exchanges since that's more a matter of my own skill...

      Block → Adjusting between long and short was really easy! Maybe because the ball sinks in so well, a light push sent in a good shot!

      And finally, durability!
      Even after 2 months of use, not a single chip!
      Looks like it'll keep going for a while yet! Worth the price!

      Max thickness, 47g.
      For its hardness it sinks into the sponge easily and is a great, easy-to-use rubber.
      - The feel is excellent, you can hit the ball exactly the way you picture it!
      - Stops and pushes hold well, and flat hits are easy too!
      - Counter-driving at the top of the bounce is easy to do!
      - Spin is decent as well.
      Even hitting it hard, I never felt the rubber slamming against the blade — it felt like a rubber with a lot of backbone.
      I imagine this could hold up even against a top player's drive.
      The trajectory arc is low, yet the rubber still felt very stable.
      That said, compared to GT-X51 the spin and speed felt a bit lacking.
      Just like GT-X51, I now understand why it gets compared to Tenergy.
      It has an all-around feel close to Dignics 80, though I think the speed and spin fall a little short of Dignics 80.
      Compared to Tenergy, the usability feels like Tenergy 05, while the spin and speed feel more like Tenergy 80.
      Compared to Tenergy 05, the pips are probably closer to the 80, making it a rubber that balances spin and speed.
      Still, if you factor in durability, I think it's far better than Tenergy!
      Hope this helps.

      My first impression is "this rubber grips the ball more than I expected." It's an older rubber compared to the newest ones, but it can still hold its own today. The short game especially was fantastic — great control, and the ball never floated up. You might think that makes it similar to a tacky rubber, but once you master the stroke, drives also spin like crazy. Rather than a brushing stroke like you'd use with something like V>15, a drive with a firmer, more direct impact produces a sharper ball. If you're confident in your strength, I'd recommend the brushing stroke though. The price is quite reasonable too~♪
      I'd also recommend pairing it with something like a 7-ply blade (for the feel). I'd say it's worth trying at least once!

      I'd been curious about this for a while, so I put it on my forehand at max thickness. First off, it flies quite a bit. Not as much as Tenergy, but the "wow, this really flies" impression stuck with me. As for spin, it grips a lot. Opponents tell me my drives feel heavy. The one downside, I think, is unit variation. Mine developed a white line down the middle after just a week of use. It still spins fine, but I noticed more knuckleballs than before. Still, it's a great rubber regardless, so I'd recommend giving it a try.

      Table tennis (Experience: 2〜3 years) The German version of Tenergy

      Reviews by user

      This is now one of the famous rubbers known as a "post-Tenergy." True to that name, it really delivers high performance.
      Topspin drives, smashes, pushes, stops, chiquita, serves — every technique is easy to pull off, and the spin is amazing! I'd say it's even better than Tenergy.
      I could also feel that "auto" quality that's characteristic of Tenergy!


      What's different from Tenergy is that it's made in Germany. You'd think it wouldn't matter where it's made, but the German-made version gives the ball more variation. Even with the same stroke, sometimes the ball just won't spin. I think that can actually be used to fool your opponent.
      If you're a Tenergy user, or someone who's always admired Tenergy, definitely give this a try!

      Using a Zhang Jike ALC, with Hurricane Pro 3 Turbo Blue on the forehand.
      Target Pro 47 on the backhand.
      I switched because Tenergy 05 performed so well I kept overshooting.
      The sheet is strong, so when you miss you can clearly tell it's your own form that's off. That said, it doesn't grab spin automatically every time like Tenergy does — as long as your form is good, the ball goes where you intend.
      Over the table it stays controlled well and I think my mistakes went down.
      The feel on drives is just as good as highly-rated rubbers like Tenergy.
      The blocking is excellent — feels just right. And of course the flat hits are no complaints either!
