NO.1 table tennis review site

I use the MAX version of Molist 44.
I've tried the other thicknesses too, but for me it's MAX all the way. The reason is that the rubber is really hard, and while the other thicknesses might be easier to hit with, I went with MAX considering the balance of power and playability.
Also, out of all the large-ball rubbers, this one produces the most knuckle balls.
Because of that, it's a perfect match for people who play standard-rules table tennis with short pips on the backhand.
People around me often say it's hard to handle and not accepted by anyone. But I think if a standard-rules short pips backhand player used it, that probably wouldn't be the case.
If you like harder rubbers, want to produce knuckle balls, or are looking for speed, definitely give it a try.
I have no reason to switch my backhand rubber away from Molist 44.
Since switching to Molist 44, I've even been able to beat players ranked in the All Japan Large Ball tournament.

I have the max-thickness version on the backhand of my shakehand blade. Since the pips are hard, if you swing hard it tends to go long compared to a softer-pips rubber like Royal (large-ball version) — though that might just be a technique issue on my part.
That said, chops stayed low and stable. I think it could work for choppers too.
The ball quality is flat when you hit it, and it comes out as a knuckle ball.

I used it on the backhand of my shakehand blade.
It's stable for backhand chops from mid-distance.

Despite being a large-ball rubber, the hard sponge and sheet give it incredible ball speed. It also grabs spin easily, so you can even hit speed loops. It keeps the all-around performance you'd expect from the Morristo name. Overall it's great value and the performance leaves nothing to complain about — highly recommended!

I use the max-thickness version of Morristo 44.
I've tried the other thicknesses too, but for me it's max thickness, no question. The reason is that the rubber is quite hard, so while the other thicknesses might be easier to hit with, I chose max thickness for the balance of power and playability.
Also, among large-ball rubbers, this one produces knuckle balls better than most.
That makes it a perfect match for anyone who normally plays hard-ball table tennis with short pips on the backhand.
Among the people around me, those who normally run inverted rubber on both sides often say it's hard to handle, but I don't think that's true for hard-ball short-pips backhand players.
If you like a hard rubber, want plenty of knuckle balls, or are chasing speed, definitely give it a try.
For me, there's no reason to switch away from Morristo 44 on my backhand.
Since switching to Morristo 44, I've even been able to beat players ranked in the national large-ball rankings.

I use the max-thickness red version of Morristo 44.
I tried other thicknesses too, but I settled on max thickness. The rubber is quite hard, and other thicknesses may be a bit easier to hit with, but weighing power against ease of use, max thickness won out.
Also, among large-ball rubbers, this one really produces knuckle balls.
Because of that, it's a perfect fit for people who normally play hard-ball table tennis with short pips on the backhand.
People around me who normally play inverted rubber on both sides often say it's hard to handle, but I don't really think so.
If you like a harder rubber, want knuckle balls above all, or want speed, definitely give it a try.
I have no reason to switch my backhand rubber away from Morristo 44.
