This felt like the regular Spectrum but with a bit more bounce added.
It's not especially prone to knuckle balls or extra spin — I'd describe it as a rubber that keeps the original Spectrum's ease of use while adding more bounce.
If you're after ease of use, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

The speed is insane.
I've seen opponents get confused because it's just too fast.
It also gives solid knuckleballs, so I'd definitely recommend it.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Flicks are really easy to do, and you can also angle your shots well. You can get knuckleballs if you focus on it, and control is easy.

Good speed and good control — this short pips rubber is really great. You can use it well on both forehand and backhand. Give it a try!

Beautiful pen holder (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Spectrum Red didn't bounce as much as expected

It didn't bounce as much as I expected, but the control was really easy. Spin was decent enough. I think my drives were getting spin on them, probably. Smashes were really easy to pull off, so I was landing my third-ball attacks often. For the short game, I could stop the ball short or flick freely, whatever I wanted. Serves get more spin than you'd expect for a speed-oriented short pips rubber. You do need to consciously go for knuckle balls, or they won't happen. Counters are easy to do too, so give it a try.

I switched from Spectol Blue to Red, but I honestly can't tell much difference.
A hitting partner asked if I'd switched to inverted rubber, so I guess the spin went up a bit, but from my own feel when hitting, there's not much difference.
Since the sponge is red, about the only thing I noticed is that the rubber looks a nice, pretty red now.After using it a bit more, there's actually quite a difference.
With Blue, when you brushed the ball like on a topspin drive, there was a "slippy" gliding feeling,
but with Red, while it's not as much as inverted rubber, you can feel a bit more grip on the ball.If you do a lot of meet-hitting or knuckle balls, Blue seems like the better choice.
You get less of that typical short-pips wobble, but for people who want more spin out of their short pips, Red seems like the better pick.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

This is a short pips rubber with very little quirkiness.
It's really easy to handle, and I think switching over from inverted rubber on both sides would be easy too.
I'd guess it works well on the forehand too~All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
