The pimple structure for Vertical 20 and Vertical 55 is placed in a vertical angle providing extra control and stability in your defensive strokes. These rubbers are made in Japan and developed specially for the ABS-ball to increase the spin of the modern defensive game.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly praised as a pimple rubber for defensive players, offering exceptional stability and control performance. The vertical grain pattern makes it easy to apply spin, suitable for beginners to advanced players, though some note the limited knob variation reduces the ability to frustrate opponents.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Outstanding stability and control capabilities
    • Vertical grain allows easy spin application
    • Soft sponge creates ease of suppression
    • Achieves low ball trajectory in cuts and pushes
    • Minimal variation requires active adjustment
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveThe vertical grain design grips the ball with excellent suppression and stable cuts. The soft sponge makes it very easy to handle, making it highly recommended for defensive players.
    ▽ CriticalThe knobs produce almost no variation, requiring the player to create changes actively. Balls return easily for opponents as the pimples rarely cause unintended errors.

      Look that way! (Experience: More than ２０ years) Even with a super-powerful racket

      Reviews by user

      I'm a penhold player with a reverse grip and a close-to-the-table offensive/defensive style. My forehand rubber is Booster JP Atsu. It's a very powerful, high-speed racket made by Stiga, but I struggled to find a suitable long-pips rubber for it.

      I'm using an ultra-thin version, but I can execute my signature knuckle flick without any problems. Also, my cut blocks slow down nicely and land on the table. The vertically oriented long pips are amazing!

      With this high-speed racket, a bouncy forehand rubber, and this long-pips rubber with its excellent deceleration and slowdown, I've been able to confuse my opponents and win.
