    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    As a speed-type tension rubber, it excels at hitting fast balls and is well-regarded for backhand use. The rotation performance is modest, but it is valued for its insensitivity to opponent's spin. It receives support from beginners to intermediate players.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent speed performance, easy to hit fast balls
    • Ideal for backhand use with stable drive shots
    • Modest rotation performance, insensitive to opponent's spin
    • Lightweight and easy to handle with superior control
    • Suitable for defensive play like blocking, counters, and flicks
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveEasy to generate speed and hit quick smashes. Great control and sufficient rotation. The light rubber is ideal for those concerned about durability or preferring lightweight equipment.
    ▽ CriticalNot suitable for players wanting heavy rotation. Difficult to execute rotation-based short techniques like chikita, and topspin tends to float.

      First of all, I wouldn't recommend buying this if you're expecting a lot of spin.
      It has speed, but it's not that easy to control.
      It's easy to hit flat shots with, though.
      The lifespan is on the shorter side.

      Used on the backhand side. For people used to today's spin-oriented tension rubbers, the spin on both drives and pushes will feel a bit lacking, but it's soft, makes a metallic sound, and the feel on contact is good. The ball feels light, but I think it's worth trying for players who hit close to the table, or for people who've grown unsatisfied with high-bounce rubbers.

      First of all, if you're thinking of buying this after watching the WRM video, you should be careful.

      Just like in the video, speed comes easily and you can hit fast smashes. But the spin is shockingly weak.
      I'd recommend it for people who rely a lot on flat hits and smashes. If you want spin, you're better off not buying this.

      The backhand was really easy to use.
      Backhand drives against backspin got good solid spin,
      and short-game techniques like chiquita were easy too.

      I put this on the reverse side. My first impression was that the ball release is good. It has speed. You can hit flat-style smashes and counters. On top of that, blocks still go in even if your angle is a bit sloppy, which makes me think this is a great rubber for defensive players. On the other hand, it's a bit hard to put spin on. Chiquitas don't lift well. My own skill is probably a factor too, but compared to other rubbers, the spin performance is clearly lacking. So I think this suits the backhand more than the forehand.

      It's easy to hit fast shots with, and very easy to control. However, it doesn't generate much spin. But because it's hard to put spin on, it's also less affected by the opponent's spin, so you can hit without worrying too much about however much spin they put on it. I think it's a backhand rubber that suits any blade.
      I'd recommend it to people who want more speed on their backhand, or who want to hit without worrying too much about the opponent's spin.

      The Plaxon 400 has average speed, decent spin, and is really easy to control.
      The bounce is great!
      It's also easy to use in the short game, and topspin drives go in consistently.
      Highly recommended!
