      A friend of mine was using this.
      I got to try it out,
      but I'd hate to play against it.
      I felt it was hard to control.

      My first short-pips rubber!
      I thought it was incredibly high performance.
      I'd really hate to face an opponent using this.

      It's hard to use, but once you master it, your opponent will really hate it. It's a rubber that's almost like long pips. Since it's hard to handle, I'd recommend it for advanced players. My impression is it's like a medium-pips rubber, somewhere between short pips and long pips. There's not much speed. And in terms of spin, it's on the lower end among short-pips rubbers.

      If you're good at angle hitting,
      if you can use your knees when you hit,
      or if you hate receiving serves,
      this is really easy to use.
      The Attack 8 Super A version 43 degrees is especially easy to use.
      For people switching over from inverted rubber, I think it's manageable if you avoid tilting the racket face too much, and beginners can handle it too.
      Definitely give it a try.
      By the way, I switched from inverted rubber to the Attack 8 and found it easy to handle.

      This isn't a rubber that someone switching over from inverted rubber can just pick up and use right away.
      It sits somewhere between short pips and long pips, so if you don't understand the angles for short-pips technique and pushes, you won't be able to return the ball properly and it'll just go into the net.
      You can block with it too, but its biggest strength is knuckle shots with good control.
      I can only recommend it for the backhand.

      The Attack 8 M-pips leans more toward long pips, and you can chop back serves that come to your backhand.
      Attack 8 drive → Attack 8 drive → open the racket face for a knuckle shot → chop — you can toy with your opponent using just your backhand.
      Once you get used to it, it becomes really fun!

      Reviews by user

      What's amazing is how incredibly hard this makes things for your opponent lol. If you ever run into someone using this rubber, you'll honestly feel like crying. The chops are stable and really bite, and even though there's no variation like with long pips, you can still push, so it has a different kind of high performance than long pips. The value for money is great too, so I think it's a great rubber for anyone who really wants to win!

      As for receiving, a long knuckle ball is really hard to handle. But if you manage to get it back, it flies off as a knuckle ball too, so you can hope for a mistake from your opponent. Also (maybe just lack of practice on my part?), I felt the push was hard to do. There's not much sense of the ball gripping the sponge, so control was difficult too. When I borrowed a friend's M-pips rubber, I didn't get that same impression on the push, so even within the Attack 8 line the feel can vary.
      As for rallies, there's nothing to complain about. Long balls tend to fly off as knuckle balls and draw mistakes from the opponent. Speed is harder to generate compared to inverted rubber, but that actually creates a change of pace with your forehand, which seems to make it hard for opponents to time their shots. Short balls are also very easy to produce, making it easy to work the ball forward and back and create chances.
