    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Widely supported by cutmen and defensive players, this rubber is praised for its unique characteristics combining features of pimpled and smooth soft rubbers. The ability to switch between knuckle balls and clean cut shots to confuse opponents, combined with excellent control, is the main reason for its high evaluation.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Easy to alternate between knuckle and cut shots to mislead opponents
    • More linear trajectory than pimpled rubber with attacking capability
    • Excellent control performance suitable for beginners
    • Versatility through thickness options (medium for cutmen, ultra-thin for front attack)
    • Limited speed and spin but compensated by variation
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveOffers pimpled-rubber-level cutting ability during cuts while maintaining attacking capability typical of smooth rubbers, with superior control performance. Ideal for cutmen transitioning from pimpled to smooth rubber.
    ▽ CriticalFeels low in power and difficult for spin drives. Not ideal for orthodox front-attack players using consistent spin techniques.

      Used it for about three months. Switched from a spin-type short pips rubber to Do-Knuckle. I used the medium sponge. It feels like a long pips rubber with a medium sponge attached. If you scoop the ball up, you get back a wobbly knuckleball. If you brush it, it slips and goes into the net. It's like a long pips rubber that bounces. Worth it if you're defense-oriented and want bounce from your rubber. I switched to Attack8.

      Ah (Experience: 2〜3 years) Seriously lacking firepower

      Reviews by user

      I put Spin Art on the forehand of my TSP Ars Nova.
      At first I was really excited using it — it's super easy to receive with and produces knuckle balls! — but the more I used it, the weaker the firepower felt.
      Topspin drives were hard to pull off since the sponge is thin, and it felt hard to get spin going.
      If anything, rather than initiating the attack yourself, it's easier to score by confusing your opponent with knuckle balls and smashing when their push floats up.
      Honestly, I'm not a fan of this rubber. It doesn't suit orthodox close-to-the-table fast-attack players.

      It's one I'd want choppers and close-to-the-table defensive players to try.

      hi-lite (Experience: 11〜20 years) Fierce, unlike its name

      Reviews by user

      I use the extra-thin version on the B side of my chopping blade.
      If you don't try to chop it, it's true to its name and comes out as a no-knuckle ball; but if you do chop it, despite the name, you get a savage, ripping backspin.
      It's a terrifying rubber.
      In particular, when chopping loop drives, you can either put ferocious spin on the ball or turn it into a knuckle ball.
      The relatively slow chops come in on a low trajectory, which feels satisfyingly sharp.
      In the short game too, you can do nasty things like sidespin pushes.
      It's pricey, but I'd definitely recommend it for a chopper's backhand.

      Ah (Experience: 2〜3 years) Freaky-good rubber

      Reviews by user

      First off, the amazing thing about this rubber is that the control is just too good.
      With other tension-type short pips I'd only get about 7 out of 10 shots in, but with this one it's 10 out of 10! It just goes in, perfectly!
      And true to its name, it produces "no-knuckle" balls. The ball feels really light, and when you smash, you get a fast, light shot that's just nasty!

      It feels like it adds long-pips character without killing what's good about short pips, bringing out the best of both,
      and it doesn't have that half-baked feeling that half-length pips often have!
      This is the best rubber.

      KitKat (Experience: 4〜5 years) Works for short pips or long pips alike

      Reviews by user

      A rubber that lets you send fast drives and hard drives deep into the opponent's court while still getting spin on them
      I'd recommend it for hitting backhand from mid-distance as a short pips, or for blocking as if it were long pips
      If you feel like "long pips makes it hard to attack!" or "the ball just won't fly!", this is definitely a rubber I'd want you to try.

      MR-01 (Experience: More than 20 years) Insanely sharp knuckle balls!

      Reviews by user

      I tried this for backhand chopping. Chops against topspin drives bite in just as well as with long pips! And naturally, it's easier to get a flatter, more straight-line trajectory on your chops than with long pips. Pushes are easy to put backspin on too. I was thinking, "where's the 'no-knuckle' in this?!" — but when I blocked a drive close to the table, it did come out as a no-spin knuckle ball.
      It was an appealing short pips rubber unlike anything I'd tried before. If you're a chopper using long pips and thinking "I want a bit more speed on my chops," I think it's worth trying.

      Oka Yoshihiro (Experience: 2〜3 years) For choppers struggling against long pips

      Reviews by user

      This is really good.
      The control is great, above all,
      and it bites in well too.
      It's a perfect rubber for choppers with long pips on the backhand who want to switch to short pips.
