NO.1 table tennis review site

I've used vertical-pip short pips like Spectol, Curl, Curl Super, Morist SP, VO103, VO101, and Buggler on my backhand for years, and Killer is where I finally landed.

Backspin drives and flat hits, topspin drives and flat hits, blocks, pushes, stops, flicks — every technique is easy, there's nothing it's bad at.
The match with my blade might have helped too — it's a Black Balsa 7.0. The 2.0mm thickness might be a good fit as well.

The Buggler was also really good for hitting backspin and pushing, but for some reason it was hard to return topspin balls with topspin of my own, and I felt the knuckle effect didn't really come through either, so I stopped using it.
I'm still using VO101. It flies well, so I find small techniques a bit harder with it, but it has speed, so I split usage: VO101 for singles and Killer for doubles.

Like the Attack 8, this is a variation-type short pips rubber that adds unpredictable movement on its own.
It has more variation than the Attack 8, so I think it's good for players looking for more of that unpredictability.
That said, control is quite difficult.

I also tried the Killer Soft, but I honestly couldn't really tell the difference from the Killer.

I'm reviewing this at 1.5mm thickness mounted on a Dynasty Carbon.
My first impression was that control is difficult.
Control was difficult across the board - even blocking to a single spot scattered all over the place, sometimes landing and sometimes not, which was pretty unsettling.
That said, I didn't get affected by the opponent's spin as much as expected, and I got the feeling most balls could be pushed back with a sharp knuckle shot.
Chops flip the ball's spin well, and I could put a decent amount of spin on it myself, which felt really good, but because the sponge is thick, I found it hard to keep the distance under control.
When attacking, I noticed that a half-hearted impact always ended in a miss, but if I hit a bit harder, it would land on the table consistently.
Also, it's hard to generate spin on my own, so I felt like this rubber's role is more about getting the opponent to give you a knuckle ball to drop, or creating chances, rather than making your own variation or spinning the ball off the opponent's racket, which felt difficult.

I originally played short pips on my backhand, but I wasn't good at creating knuckle variation, so I was recommended a variation-style short pips rubber.
First I switched to Attack8.
It gave me more variation, but I couldn't really play aggressive table tennis with it anymore,
so next I tried KILLER.
Maybe because the sponge is harder, I was able to get a lot more speed.
That said, I might make more mistakes with it than with Attack8.
When it lands, it produces a really good ball, but it might be a fairly difficult rubber to handle.

It's sold in the "variation-type short pips" category, but compared to the Attack Eight (extra thin), which is marketed with the same "attacking variation pips" catchphrase, the overwhelming difference is the speed.
When you hit through it, it's too fast. The thickness is medium, but you get a "this fast with medium thickness?" kind of dead-straight ball. The range of variation is about the same as the Attack Eight.
However, maybe because both the pips and the sponge are on the harder side, control is difficult. Because the shots go dead straight, I don't think it'll go in if you're further back than mid-distance. (The package says it's for close-to-mid-distance use.)

You can also drive with it, and even lifting backspin balls, which tend to become loopy with the Attack Eight, can be returned dead straight with a real "bam."

[Lastly]
If you're a general player and this rubber caught your interest, the "Killer" is more than enough.
The harder "Killer Pro" than this one is, honestly, at a level where I can't imagine who's supposed to use it - I'd guess it's basically unusable for anyone.

I think this is a monster rubber with the potential to become the ultimate short pips rubber if you put in the practice. It's pricey, but if you're into variation-type rubbers, why not give it a try?

Killer's shots are maximum nasty. They're seriously creepy, so if you're facing it for the first time you probably won't be able to handle it. It's not great for putting your own spin on the ball, but fight using counters and variation to confuse your opponent!
