    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Widely recognized as an affordable beginner-friendly rubber, it is praised for its control and lightweight properties, while the difficulty in applying spin is consistently cited as a drawback. It is particularly well-suited for backhand use and playing styles that take advantage of its resistance to opponent's spin.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Affordable beginner option with excellent value for money
    • Lightweight and easy to handle with superior control
    • Difficult to apply spin, insufficient as a spin-focused rubber
    • Resists the influence of opponent's spin effectively
    • Well-suited for backhand, counter, and blocking techniques
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveDespite being lightweight, it flies well and is easy to control, allowing for stable shots. For the price, the performance is impressive and durability is excellent, making it ideal for beginners progressing to intermediate level.
    ▽ CriticalSpin application is desperately difficult. It is unsuitable for players who want to apply strong spin actively during rallies, and is better suited for playing styles that prioritize stability through flat hitting.

      Hammond Man Personally, all-round

      Reviews by user

      This rubber excels at speed. But the spin feels a bit dull, so it might not suit the backhand (unless you're a chopper).
      Chops cut well too, so that's a strong point. But I don't think you should expect much from the spin.

      Table Tennis shaved (Experience: Less than a year) Speed is good, but...

      Reviews by user

      When you hit it, the ball flies well, but the spin and control are so-so... Maybe it's an entry-level rubber ^^.

      Yutchi @ cut An easy-to-use speed rubber

      Reviews by user

      This is a pretty easy-to-use speed-oriented rubber. These days, something like the Plaxon 350 feels similar. It doesn't get as much spin as the Plaxon, but as a rubber for someone just starting out in table tennis, its performance is more than good enough. I think you could aim to build up your skill level with this rubber for the first year to a year and a half of playing! Since it's easy to get spin on, you get speed while still staying stable, so I'd recommend it for beginners who dream of fast rallies, on both the forehand and backhand!

      Hammond is a speed-focused rubber.
      That said, it gets a fair amount of spin too.
      The sponge is also really soft and easy to use, so I'd recommend it for beginners too!

      Love butterfly (Experience: 2〜3 years) Spins well, but....

      Reviews by user

      It's easy to get spin on, but it doesn't have much speed.
      It chips easily.
      Recommended for beginners.

      It has decent speed,
      and it gets about as much spin as a beginner rubber, so you can gain the edge in rallies.
      Since the rubber is soft, blocking is stable too, but sometimes the ball slips on the surface, making the short game
      difficult. It's easy to handle, so
      I recommend it for people aiming for a speed-focused playing style! (aiming for it)

      Komatsu (Experience: 2〜3 years) Good bounce

      Reviews by user

      The spin on serves isn't great.
      For topspin drives, if you sink the ball into the sponge, I think speed drives and power drives get good spin and power,
      loops feel like the ball leaves the racket a bit quickly.
      I think smashes have good power.

      When you really sink the ball in, the power and spin are amazing.
      At this price, I think this level of performance is totally worth it.

      I'd recommend it for the backhand.
