    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly evaluated as a beginner-friendly fundamental rubber with excellent control and durability. However, as players improve, many feel it becomes insufficient in power and performance, prompting upgrades to higher-tier rubbers. Recommended primarily for basic skill acquisition.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Outstanding control performance and easy ball gripping
    • Soft sponge ideal for beginners learning techniques
    • Affordable with excellent durability for extended use
    • Limited speed and spin—adequate for beginners only
    • Excellent compatibility with carbon rackets
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe weak bounce provides recovery time between shots and superior control. Its stability makes stopping and blocking easier, offering a non-predictable playing style against opponents.
    ▽ CriticalPlayers experience insufficient power as they improve. Compared to modern bouncy rubbers, it feels subdued, and intermediate players find it limiting, making upgrades to Mark V necessary.

      Table tennis lover (Experience: ２〜３ years) First rubber

      Reviews by user

      I've been using this since I started playing table tennis as a student.

      The sponge is quite soft, so it's difficult to generate speed, but when used with a carbon-based racket, it produces a fairly satisfying speed.

      Spin is easier to generate by letting the ball sink into the sponge and making gentle contact rather than swinging with full force. When combined with a carbon-based racket (especially easy-to-use outer rackets like Inner, Ease Carbon, Flyatt Carbon α, and Outerforce), it allows for average performance in both loops and speed drives. However, the sheet wears down quickly, so excessive full-swinging will cause the sheet to wear away.

      The control isn't as automatic as Rozena, but if you put your own power into the swing, it exhibits very high control performance.

      I felt it was an excellent first rubber for learning the basic techniques before using Rozena, Mark V, or Vega Europe.

      This rubber isn't really suitable for beginners.
      For beginners, I think GTT or Rozena would be better.
      For those looking to step up, I think Mark V or Glazer would be better.
      It didn't produce much arc and didn't seem to grip the ball very well.
