    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary

    • Great value for money as a beginner-friendly rubber

    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThis rubber is recommended for all skill levels. Beginners should use it thin and advanced players thick on the backhand side. It provides stable play with good spin generation.

      Topspin drive: pretty easy to use. If you hit it hard, it makes a nice sound.
      That said, there's a bit of a "pushed back" feeling, so I think it's better to aim for placement than to trade hard hits.

      Block: amazing, one word for it. Really suits players who focus on blocking.

      Short game: this is also pretty easy to use. You can attack quickly from here.

      Serve: it doesn't spin that much. Try flipping the blade to serve off the other side.

      Summary: good for players who attack quickly off flicks in the short game, and those who block a lot.

      Easy to use. A rubber that gives stable backhand blocks while also handling offensive play in a well-balanced way.

      The hardness is just a bit harder than Vega Europe.
      The spin is about the same, and you get better shots by hitting in a way that really sinks the ball into the sponge.
      The speed is about like the Sriver EL - not much.
      I think it'd suit the backhand on a firm plywood or carbon blade.
      I felt like it'd be good for someone leveling up from a control-oriented rubber, or anyone looking for stability.

      No matter what, it prioritizes spin and doesn't produce much speed - but if your swing speed is fast, you can get speed out of it too.

      The spin is top-notch, but there's no speed, so it's a no-go for me.

      I switched from Hurricane to this on my backhand.
      Since I mainly serve from the backhand, I'd been looking for a rubber that keeps my serve quality up while giving stable drives, and I finally feel like I found it!

      Since the sponge is soft, I hardly ever drop the ball short on my push shots anymore.

      The price is reasonable too, so I think it's worth buying (^ ^)
