    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly praised as a high-elasticity rubber excelling in smashes and counterattacks, though its drive performance is inferior to conventional tension rubbers, resulting in significantly divided opinions depending on playing style. Particularly favored by aggressive front-court players and those emphasizing short-range techniques.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Smashes and flat hits are easy with characteristic low, direct trajectories
    • Unique ball feel combining table tennis racket sensation with spin generation
    • Excellent stability in short-range techniques like pushing and serving
    • Drive is possible but cannot generate intense spin like spin-dominant rubbers
    • Exceptional cost-performance ratio with high performance at reasonable price
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveSmashes and counter-smashes are extremely easy to execute with reliable stability even from poor positioning. Unlike table tennis rackets, it lacks slipping sensation and delivers penetrating low trajectories that become significant weapons.
    ▽ CriticalOffers little advantage to players whose primary weapon is drive techniques. Can result in uncontrollable flat shots and smashes going out, requiring compatibility with harder rackets for optimal performance.

      I imagined this would be one of those crazy-flying rubbers, but it turned out to be surprisingly not like that. You can do short-game techniques with it, and topspin drives too. That said, if you brush it thin, the ball drops short. It feels like the ball leaves the rubber faster than with other rubbers. If you hit a meet shot striking the ball straight from the side, it comes out incredibly fast. The sheet is tough, so it seems like it'll last a long time. I think this could sell even at a slightly higher price. Rather than a "fast" rubber, I'd call it a rubber that bounces when you want it to bounce.

      A matte surface. This is probably about the bare minimum grip you'd expect from an inverted rubber. The bounce feels good, and combined with an anti-spin-like feel, you can just punch right through the ball. It's versatile enough to handle both angled hits and topspin drives.

      Kotaro (Experience: 6〜10 years) Trampoline-like rubber

      Reviews by user

      Like a lot of other reviewers have said, the feel is that of a tension short pips rubber. It reminded me of Booster SA and VO101. It has a softer feel than the VO102.
      I'd like people who tend to smash long to try this rubber. Modern spin-oriented tension rubbers make the ball fly upward because the sheet grips and pulls the ball, so if you smash without thinking, you often overshoot... With short pips, smashes go in fine, but if your form isn't set you'll hit the net... I was one of those players, but with this rubber I've become able to smash easily. It doesn't have that slipping, unstable feel you get on the surface of short pips, and it doesn't shoot up and forward the way spin-oriented inverted rubbers do.
      As I mentioned in the title, like a trampoline, it just honestly sends the ball back the way it came.
      Serves don't get much spin if you just brush the surface lightly, but if you really sink the ball in and grip it hard, you can put a good amount of spin on. In that respect it was similar to inverted rubbers like Rozena or Rakza X.
      That said, like a lot of other reviewers have mentioned, I think there's not much upside to this rubber for someone whose lifeline is the topspin drive.
      This is for people who want to smash or hit flat with a hard, non-flexing blade, or for penhold players who want to hit with the backhand side but have a hard time getting the ball in with an arc.

      Right shake front and back heterogeneous front team haste type (Experience: Less than a year) The sponge was so hard!!!!

      Reviews by user

      It's close to short pips, but it does put spin on the ball. Since it's slightly tacky, pushes over the table are easy to do. That said, topspin drives really come down to feel.
      Surprisingly, it worked well for me.

      DTW (Experience: 2〜3 years) Distinctive feel and trajectory

      Reviews by user

      I used this on my forehand.

      Light hits: it has a snappy, springy feel, bouncing back exactly in proportion to the power you put in.

      Smash: the moment you hit it, a powerful ball slams straight into the opponent's court. It's hard enough that you can smash or drive back against your opponent without losing out on power.

      Topspin drive: just like smashing, you can hit very fast balls. The trajectory is uniquely low, passing just a few centimeters above the net, and it becomes a big weapon. Here too, there's a reassuring feeling that you won't lose out in power against the opponent's ball. On the other hand, because the trajectory is low, you need real technique to lift backspin balls.

      Block: as mentioned above, since this rubber is strong enough to smash back even against the opponent's drives, I feel like blocking didn't come up much. Returns had a straight trajectory.

      Push: it has a hard feel and tends to produce a somewhat sharp trajectory.

      Serve: the amount of spin is a bit lacking, so it's hard to win points outright on serve, but I was able to serve well enough to set up my third or fifth ball.

      <Overall> This rubber has a character that sets it apart from the spin-oriented tension rubbers that dominate today. If you can master the feeling of the ball flying exactly as much as you put power in, and the low trajectory that pierces through the opponent's court, I think this is an interesting rubber that lets you play an aggressive game your opponent can't get close to.

      Front team sometimes cut (Experience: 4〜5 years) A hidden masterpiece behind the name

      Reviews by user

      This is basically TSP's VENTUS SPEED made a bit harder and made to fly further.
      *This is just my personal impression.
      It makes a high metallic sound and is easy to use for flat hitting, and overall it's just an easy, user-friendly rubber.

      kaoru (Experience: 6〜10 years) Switching over from short pips

      Reviews by user

      I bought this switching over from short pips on my forehand. I used the thick version.
      It doesn't produce as many knuckle balls as short pips, but the impression was of a short pips rubber that can now put on spin and has become a bit more sensitive to spin.
      Angled shots dig sharply into the opponent's court, and you get at least a minimal amount of spin.
      Personally, I found it more stable to drive by really sinking the ball into the sponge rather than just brushing the surface.
      I can really recommend this for anyone switching over from short pips. I'll definitely keep using this rubber.
