    One piece rubber with outstanding stability

    Easy to take out knuckle balls, this is the easiest type of Yasaka's one-piece rubber series. There are large grains (A - 1) focusing on speed and small grains (A - 2) with stability emphasis.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly evaluated as a one-sheet rubber with excellent performance at an affordable price, particularly popular among cutmen and beginners. The ease of producing knuckle shots and control performance are the main attractions, and while not suitable for advanced players, it is practical with sufficient practice.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent control performance at an affordable price
    • Knuckles and spin variations naturally easy to execute
    • User-friendly and ideal for beginners or one-sheet rubber introduction
    • High practicality in defensive techniques like blocking and receiving
    • Stable ball contact in backhand strokes
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveSurprised by the superior performance despite the low price. Knuckle shots are easy to produce, making receiving and blocking straightforward, allowing response to advanced players with sufficient practice.
    ▽ CriticalAgainst power shots, cuts made with simple contact tend to be flat balls, requiring proper swing technique. Performance reaches its limits at high school level and above.

      I bought it for play because it was sold at a very low price. It's a small grain. side b.
      I usually put normal tension on the back, so I had a hard time getting used to it because it didn't fly unexpectedly at first, but once I got used to it, I was able to return the drive of a moderate level player with a nasty ball without difficulty.
      If you get used to receiving, you can return the ball with a nasty ball.
      However, if you do it with a higher-ranking person, it will be handled normally (´;ω;`)
      Well, it depends on how much you practice. smile
      It was interesting.

      553 Cutman (Experience:11〜20 years) For junior high school students

      Reviews by user

      Rotation: The knuckles come out automatically. If you want to call it, it will take a while.
      Speed: Not fast.
      Control: Anything goes.
      Conclusion: You can win by changing the rotation, and it's cheap, so it's recommended for middle school students.
           It may be a little tough for high school students, but I think it's worth trying.

      The A-1 and A-2 rubbers are perfect for playing and have a light feel when hitting the ball. They are really light. However, I was honestly surprised at how well they performed compared to cheap single-ply rubbers. They are very easy to block.

      Cut man with one rubber (Experience:More than 20 years) Cutman has

      Reviews by user

      I've been using it for several years since the Nittaku Specialist One I used before was discontinued.

      Good points

      Easy to receive

      Easy to cut against knuckleballs

      Backhand smashes

      Half volleys become knuckleballs

      Easy to use

      Cheap

      First-time opponents are wary and less likely to hit a strong shot

      Reduces mistakes

      Bad points

      The absolute value of the change is low

      The speed is not that great

      If you cut against a strong shot, it will turn into a baseball, so a proper swing is required

      The feeling of hitting the ball is milder than the same Yasaka single rubber Cobalt

      Self-proclaimed cutman (Experience:4〜5 years) Eh .. Seriously! !

      Reviews by user

      The club acquaintance is ridiculous
      It was pasted on the back side of Japan original. I myself had not used grain height until then, but if I borrowed it and hit it ...
      Dangerous, though not much rotation, just hit the power drive,
      You can easily return it! !
      Also, in the backhand bang,
      It becomes stable by the way of hitting the table.
      In the cut, I think that there is also the skill of the person to use, but it was cut quite.
      I think it's a diverse rubber.
      I think that the result is great if the price is around 1200 yen! It is fun to use w

      Napo gourd (Experience:More than 20 years) Knuckle comes out at a discount price

      It is very cheap, but knuckle will come out. Recommended for beginners and those who have never used table software yet.

      Naughty (Experience:4〜5 years) Knuckle ball goes out

      Reviews by user

      As I had used it for a while (about 2 months) 4 years ago, I will review it now. Until now, among the table soft rubber I've used, I suited my best. It was also this rubber that I knew the goodness of a piece of rubber. Easy to put out knuckle, it was very easy to use. Even though the price is cheap, a strong ball is on. I hope it is easy to control. Rakuza PO is out now but this A-1 · 2 can also demonstrate its full power. Overall, the lucky PO is higher, but this rubber is the best in a piece of rubber.
