    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.

      Shoshinsha Kozou (Experience: 4〜5 years) All-round rubber

      Reviews by user

      I use it on my backhand. It's got decent speed, and considering the price the spin is more than acceptable too.
      The biggest appeal of this rubber is that, while its absolute numbers aren't the highest, it's a bit lighter than other tension rubbers. If you want to keep the weight down, this rubber is a good choice.
      It's meant for the backhand, but depending on the racket it works totally fine on the forehand too.

      Praxon (Experience: 6〜10 years) Best value for money!

      Reviews by user

      I used the Plaxon 400 the other day. The rubber itself is very light, so it's good for people who put max thickness on their forehand or who care about weight.
      Also, even though it's positioned as a speed-type, it still puts on plenty of spin. I'm the type who plays more from mid-distance in rallies rather than close-to-the-table hitting, so this rubber, which keeps my backhand drives stable when I'm further back, really suits me. Best value for money!

      Reviews by user

      It's forgiving of the opponent's spin, and it's reasonably fast too. Because the ball releases quickly, receives are easy to do. But the amount of spin it produces is low. The ball feels light.

      First off, the rubber is light! It's not very sensitive to incoming spin, so backhand drives come out low, fast, and stable. It feels more like you're punching through with speed than pushing with spin. If you're not sure what to put on your backhand, this is a safe choice. If it feels too soft, go up to the 450.

      Miya (Experience: 6〜10 years) Had great stability

      Reviews by user

      I used it on my backhand and felt it has really stable spin. Besides that, it's easy to control and fast. Even though it's fast, it felt very stable. Because it's soft, I felt techniques like the chiquita were harder to pull off.

      GK (Experience: 6〜10 years) Only for backhand flat hits??

      Reviews by user

      I used the 1.8mm on my backhand.
      It's not that it doesn't spin at all, but I don't feel like it's easy to put spin on. Letting the ball sink in and snapping it gave good shots.
      Compared to the 350, it has more power but feels harder to handle. It still pops up on the short game, same as before.
      I didn't feel anything special about the 400 compared to it.
      It might be good for players who attack hard with backhand hits though.
