Compared to the plain Spectrum, knuckle balls are harder to produce, but they're not impossible.
Above all, the control is great.
Even though it's classified as a speed-type rubber, it still gets a fair amount of spin, so it's easy to build a pattern of connecting with drives and then going for speed.
I use it at max thickness, and it's not just about flying off wildly — stops and other control shots are also easy to manage.
I was torn between this and Booster HP, but I'm very satisfied with this choice.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

It feels like a Spectrum with stronger tension — really easy to use.
If you want that classic short-pips feel, I think the normal Spectrum is the better choice.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

It keeps the ease of use of the previous Spectrum while also making it easier to get speed and spin.
I normally use a shakehand blade, but I put this rubber on a Chinese-style penhold, and even I could tell it's a genuinely good rubber.
It's different from Spectrum 21. The Spectrum RED has more tension, giving it more power and speed.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

Like the Blue version, this one's appeal is a good balance between offense and defense, but since it's a bit softer, it trades some speed for ease of use! If you're not a fan of harder rubbers or you prioritize stability, I'd recommend this Red version!
