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.

Pawl (Experience: ６〜１０ years)

I bought the extra-thin version as a rubber for backhand chops. The chops come out with a flat, straight trajectory and the control is good. Since it's classified as short pips, flicks and smashes feel easier to pull off than with long pips. You can also flip it over and hit forehand with it.

As for the variation in the ball's movement, it's surprisingly impressive.
Despite the "no-knuckle" name, it actually spins quite a lot when you try to chop hard.
Not just for chopping — the short game is stable too, so overall it's a very easy rubber to use.
