    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary

    ▲ PositiveThe rubber has strong spin and sufficient speed, allowing both beginners and players transitioning from inverted rubbers to develop proper pimple-out technique while enabling progression, featuring high baseline specs with neutral characteristics.
    ▽ CriticalIndividual compatibility varies significantly, and poor match with playing environment or style can lead to disappointing results. Not suitable for shakehand backspin attack players.

      It grips and spins the ball more than you'd expect from short pips.
      Personally, I think it's better used
      on the forehand rather than the backhand.
      It's easy to use, so I'd recommend it.

      Pros:
      Meeting the ball was easy, and if you use it on the forehand you get plenty of smash power.
      Cons: if you try to put spin on it, it's easy to drop into the net. Just my personal opinion, but I don't think it's suited for backhand pips.
      If you're going to use it, you should go with max thickness or MAX.
      Chops still fly off, unfortunately.
      Because of the high-tension build and the hard pips, chopping is pretty much a no-go.
      It might work well for penhold pips or forehand pips.
      Hope this helps someone.
      By the way, I'm a chopper using:
      F: Hurricane Pro 3 Turbo Orange, max thickness
      B: Attack 8 M pips, super thin

      Nice ball (Experience: 6〜10 years) Shocking

      Reviews by user

      I have this in "thick" on my forehand. It pairs well with a low-throw blade - even if you accidentally put too much power into a shot, the ball tends to fly in a high arcing trajectory and still land in the opponent's court. It has a clear, distinct feel for spin-oriented pips play. I've never used a rubber quite like this before. Now I understand why everyone says it's close to inverted rubber. It's pricey, but it's a great rubber you won't regret buying.

      This is basically inverted rubber at this point. You can hit powerful, heavily-spun drives just like with a tension rubber. And of course you can still flick/hit it flat like normal pips, so it really widens your tactical options.

      This rubber feels like a middle ground between inverted and pips.
      Even though it's pips, it really grips and spins the ball.
      It's plenty fast too.
      I think it's the perfect rubber
      for switching over from inverted to pips.

    • Pen meat

      Pen meat (Experience: 6〜10 years) Spin-oriented but drives well too

      Reviews by user

      I used this at 1.7mm on the Japanese-style forehand of a Liberta Synergy.
      It's a spin-oriented pips rubber, but the trajectory is flat, and even angled hits against underspin have enough power to punch straight through in one shot.
      Drives barely slip and take a lot of spin, but since the trajectory is straight, if you like to hang back and trade topspin rallies or use drives a lot, I'd recommend going with a thicker sponge. With medium thickness, combined with the hard topsheet, I didn't feel the ball sink into the sponge much.
      On blocks, if the opponent's drive had spin on it, I'd get a light knuckle ball back.
      Even without trying to make a knuckle ball myself, a light push would get the opponent to net it, so I'd say this is on the easier side for producing knuckle balls among spin-oriented pips rubbers.
      Serves and the short game bite more than I expected, and you can even score off the amount of spin alone.
      I think this would suit penhold pips players or all-rounders well.

      popo_890_ (Experience: 2〜3 years) Easy to put spin on

      Reviews by user

      I used this on the forehand of a penhold blade.
      Smashes are great, and drives are easy to put spin on too.
      Pushes were also easy to vary.
      That said, if you don't control your power, you'll overshoot (especially in the short game).
