    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Centered on backhand usage, the rubber is appreciated for its stability and excellent grip. It has gained support primarily among intermediate players as a rubber suitable for playstyles prioritizing control over speed.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent stability and grip on backhand side
    • Resistant to spin from opponent's shots
    • Control and stability prioritized over speed
    • Easy to execute tabletop serves and drives
    • Well-balanced rubber designed for intermediate players
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveWhen applied to the backhand, it fits very well. It achieves both a grabbing sensation and a catching sensation with the ball, and the sharpness comes through in chikita and tsuttsuki plays.
    ▽ CriticalI expected it to cut easily due to its thinness, but it bounces more than anticipated, making it challenging for cutters to use effectively.

      I have it on my backhand side and it feels really good.
      Chiquita is great of course, and the sharpness really shows on pushes and serves too.

      It's a hard blade, but it's really great. It suited me well.

      The sponge is soft and it feels stable. The grip on the ball is good too, making it easy to hit topspin drives, and it puts plenty of spin on the ball. I think it's a rubber well suited for the backhand.

      The sponge is soft, so it's stable.
      I use it on my backhand.
      The speed isn't great, but the balance is good.
