    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly rated for stability and ease of use among beginners to intermediate players, with particular praise for stable drive and block performance on the backhand. Many note that spin performance exceeds expectations for its price point.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent stability and ease of use on backhand side
    • Soft sponge generates speed even with light touches
    • Spin performance equivalent to mid-range Tenergy 05 FX
    • High stability in blocking and counter-attack techniques
    • Well-rounded performance ideal for beginner-to-intermediate level
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveGrips spin very well and produces great speed with just a little force applied. Easy to target your shots. For this price range, it has exceptionally strong spin, and you can achieve stable rotation on any type of stroke.
    ▽ CriticalAt 80% or higher power, the rubber becomes too soft resulting in power loss, and counter-attack stability decreases as well.

      The Hexer series is said to basically just be Rasant with the name changed.
      For reference, the equivalent is R48, but naturally the speed win goes to the 48.
      But control, how easy it is to keep the ball on the table, and spin are easier to handle with this one.
      Yeah, it's easy to handle. You can hit plenty well from mid-distance too. But honestly, it doesn't really have any personality. Put positively, it handles everything competently. Put negatively, it has no personality.
      If you're an intermediate player wanting a cheap, all-around rubber like Rozena, this is it.
      If you want personality, go for the R series or V series.
      You won't lose anything by buying it, but it suits the backhand better than the forehand.

      I use it on both forehand and backhand. For its hardness, it has a lot of push-through power once it grabs the ball, and the ball has good extension.
      I have it on a blade with a hard surface, and I think that's probably a good match. On a blade with good ball-holding, it seems like it might grab the ball too much, causing power loss or getting overpowered by the opponent's spin.
      Of course, the grip on the ball is beyond complaint. The loop drive gets plenty of spin, and the speed drive is easy to vary between a high arc and a low trajectory. The short game is stable too, and spin serves are easy to put a lot of spin on.
      Depending on the user's physicality and blade, but up to intermediate level, I think this rubber combines plenty of power with ease of use. On top of being this good, it's also cheap, and I'm happy that it's lightweight too — 43g after cutting at 1.9 thickness!

      Pen meat (Experience: 6〜10 years) A budget Tenergy 05 FX

      Reviews by user

      Used at 1.9mm on the reverse side of a Libertas Synergy Japanese-style blade.
      On spec it's slightly harder than Grip SFX, but there's almost no real difference.
      The standout feature is that, for a rubber in this price range, the spin is just really strong.
      Even a connecting shot or a lightly swung loop gets solid spin on it, and even a jammed-up shot gets enough spin that the opponent sometimes pops the ball up.
      With rubbers in this price range, things like chiquita or drives against backspin can slip fairly often, but Grip SFX draws a solid arc and goes in.
      That said, straight-line shots like a flat meet-hit were also easy to play, and it left me with the impression it has no real holes.
      The bounce isn't all that strong, but since it can put stable spin on any kind of shot, it really was a very good rubber — like a budget version of Tenergy 05 FX.

      This is a soft, control-oriented rubber.
      Since the sponge is soft, both a brushing stroke and a sinking-in stroke are easy to do. The difference between hitting soft and hard isn't that big, but even with a light touch you get a decent amount of speed.
      What I especially recommend it for is blocking technique — it's really stable. On top of that, small techniques like sidespin don't fly too far, so they're easy to pull off.
      If you compare rubbers of the same hardness, Bluestorm Z3 performs better, but I think it might be better to use this one first before moving on to that.
      I'd recommend this for beginners using it on both sides, intermediate players who struggle with their backhand, or people who have a heavy rubber on one side and want to balance it out with a lighter rubber.

      NIKE Shibuya store (Experience: 2〜3 years) Works for forehand too

      Reviews by user

      First off, the sheet is the same as Power Grip, so both a brushing-style drive and a sinking-in drive worked fine for me. The sponge is soft, so it was easy to get speed even with a light touch. For blocks, the grip on the ball is so good that it's easily affected by the opponent's spin and tends to go long, so watch out for that.
      Once you can switch between the two types of drives, attacking gets a lot easier!

      And Way too easy to use

      Reviews by user

      I put this on the backhand of a Libertas Synergy Plus.

      Backhand free rallies → very stable
      Loop drive against backspin → incredibly stable
      Speed drive against backspin → a bit slower, but goes in consistently
      Short game → stays put nicely
      Spin → seeing the opponent's block go long over and over, it might actually generate quite a bit of spin

      Practicing third-ball backhand drives, I went 15 in a row without a miss, and even when I switched up the type of drive I still had very few misses — I was pretty surprised. I think this is a really stable rubber.

      I haven't tried it on the forehand, but I recommend it for the backhand.

      Inner → Outer (Experience: 2〜3 years) So-so?

      Reviews by user

      I wanted to try an outer blade, so I bought this along with the blade.
      I use it on the backhand, but I tried it on the forehand too.
      I normally use Q5 on the forehand
      First, for normal forehand rallies it's not too bouncy and soft, so it's easy to use
      For topspin drives, loops, and speed drives too, hitting at around 50-60% power feels really easy thanks to the stability and how well the ball grips the top sheet.
      But at 80% or more, it suddenly feels too soft and you lose power. Same with counters — it's fine against a soft loop where you can just knock it back, but against a solid loop the counter ends up feeling like it loses out and doesn't work.
      Defensive play like pushes and blocks is no problem at all.
      The sheet grip is good, so serves are good too.
      I think this would be good for beginner-to-intermediate women or junior high club players, on both sides.
