    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    A rubber that combines excellent spin performance and control despite low bounce. Ideal for beginners to intermediate players, particularly suited for on-the-table play and backhand use. Advanced players may find the bounce insufficient.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Low-bounce design excels in on-the-table play
    • High spin value enables stable rotation play
    • Exceptional ease for short game techniques like chipping
    • Allows precise course-targeting aggressive play
    • Well-balanced performance for beginners to intermediates
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe balance between sheet and sponge is exquisite with excellent ball retention, enabling precise attacking through course placement even without power for calm, controlled play.
    ▽ CriticalThe low bounce makes it difficult to handle when pushed back to mid-distance or baseline, and advanced players will find the bounce definitely insufficient.

      Turtle Easy to use! Recommended for backhand

      Reviews by user

      Used it in MAX thickness on my backhand.
      The balance between the topsheet and sponge is perfect —
      it really made me go "so this is what people mean by good ball-holding!"

      Even without much power, you can still attack placement-wise
      and play with a calm, settled feeling.
      It's not very affected by the opponent's spin, so receiving is easy too.

    • Perplexity

      Perplexity (Experience: More than 20 years) Spin-tension trajectory. High-elasticity bounce.

      Reviews by user

      This is a rubber where you can picture a lot of different uses.
      The ball pops up and traces a high arcing trajectory similar to Rakza 7.

      That said, the speed is about on par with Sriver. Since I'm using a wood blade this time, I just couldn't get the ball through no matter how hard I hit topspin drives.
      It probably takes a thicker carbon blade to really open it up.


      What really stands out is the short game.
      Like most rubbers with a high arc, pushes bite really easily. And since it doesn't fly, you can chop as hard as you want.

      The chiquita is fantastic too. It grips the ball and you can swing all out, so even a heavily cut ball comes up easily. Plus the ball is slow off the rubber, so it curves a lot.


      Chopping is actually easy too. It's easy to use and easy to put spin on.

      If they made a "medium" sponge version, I'd have no hesitation having my students use it.


      Obviously it's great for beginners, but

      it could also be interesting for intermediate-to-advanced forehand-dominant players to use on the backhand.

      As I mentioned, a well-cut push and chiquita both have real power, and it's easy to absorb the opponent's power on blocks too.

      It takes a different approach from things like an ultra-thin backhand Bombard, but this rubber has a lot of potential for creating backhand scoring chances.

      Reviews by user

      It doesn't fly far, but the spin level is high, so it's just plain stable, and it's also good for developing a feel for backhand topspin drives.
      I'd also recommend it for the backside of a penhold blade!

      Zhuo T (Experience: 4〜5 years) An interesting rubber

      Reviews by user

      The grip on the ball is about the same as today's mainstream spin tension rubbers. Serves bite well, and topspin drives clear a passing grade, so to speak. But it's an interesting rubber in that the bounce is the same as a high-bounce rubber.
      Since it doesn't bounce much, it's obviously great (◎) for the short game. But if you get pushed back to mid or far from the table, the lack of bounce means you can't cope. It works fine for beginners and intermediates. But I think advanced players will definitely find the bounce lacking.

      Kaolin Mid-distance

      Reviews by user

      This is a rubber for mid-distance play. Rather than going for the short game, you bring out its performance by quickly turning things into a big rally and fighting it out from there! You can put on flashy rallies!
