NO.1 table tennis review site

First of all, this is a rubber I never want to face as an opponent. I'm a beginner chopper, but I can easily produce knuckle chops with it. Even just chopping normally gives you knuckleballs, and it's really nasty. Also, it's listed as an OX short pips rubber, but you're better off thinking of it as long pips. If you're a long pips user, it's worth trying out.

Even someone who's barely ever chopped can easily land a chop return.
It's really easy to produce knuckle chops, and opponents seem to have a really hard time returning them.
It's also easy to push back a ball that's popped up, close to the table on the backhand.

Long pips and pips-like rubbers usually give me the impression that receive and control are difficult, but this one is easy, so I recommend it.

Do-Knuckle... it cuts with knuckle balls. It's a weird and genuinely fun rubber. I'm good at putting on spin and became a chopper because people told me to, but I ended up picking a rubber that barely takes any spin at all. Still, it proudly showed me that "not taking spin" doesn't mean "the ball won't bite." "Even though it's a knuckle ball, it drops whether you smash it or drive it" - that's what a topspin-player friend of mine told me. And of course, it can produce knuckle balls too - "if it couldn't, that'd be false advertising." It's really fun, so I hope you'll give it a try at least once.

I put it on the forehand side. Since I play penhold, I wanted to use an unusual rubber on both forehand and backhand, so I put it on. Anyway, that's beside the point - as for attacking, normal shots go in fine. But I feel like it lacks power. On defense, though, blocks have more power than with a long pips rubber. So if you're a penhold player who wants to put an unusual rubber on both sides, I think this is a good choice.

I'm a chopper.
Do-Knuckle? Just hearing that name, you'd probably think it only produces knuckle balls with no spin at all. That's what you'd think. But I want you to pick up this rubber and try chopping with it just once.
You'll be amazed by the amount of spin right away. You can put as much spin on it as a pips-out rubber. Pretty interesting, right? Ha ha ha.
Of course, it can also produce short-pips-style knuckle balls.
But that's not all. I said the spin amount is pips-out level, but the trajectory is like short pips. In other words, it flies fast and in a straight line, piercing right into your opponent's court. It's truly an evolution. Oops, I meant revolution.
So, how was that? Honestly there's a lot more I'd like to tell you about, but I'm short on time this time, so I'll stop here.
Well then, farewell.
