I'm male. I switched from inverted rubber on both sides and changed my backhand to Attack 8. If you're using a variation-type short pips for the first time, I think it's really hard to hit with at first. You can't put spin on it, blocking doesn't go well, and flicking is difficult too. But that's exactly why it's strong once you learn to handle it. Just hitting a backhand long shot alone makes opponents miss, and on the push you can fake a chop and send out a fast knuckle ball. Thanks to this rubber, even I, who always used to lose in the first round, can now win matches.

The blade I'm using is an Award Offensive, Chinese-style. I have it on my forehand side. Medium thickness, Super I version, hardness 41. My first impression was that it felt strange.
First, the drive has a good trajectory, but not much spin, and if it turns into a loop you get countered.
The block was extremely hard to do, and the ball kept dropping into the net.
The push was stable. It got a bit of spin on it.
The flick was easy once I got the knack of it.
The counter was easy to do when hit flat.
Overall, I wouldn't really recommend it. If you have no other choice, fine, but if you're on the fence, I'd suggest a regular short pips rubber instead.All Speed Spin Control

Vampire (Experience: More than 20 years) M pips, max thickness

If your backhand isn't great and you're switching from backhand inverted rubber to something unconventional, max-thickness M pips are a perfect fit. There's little gap with how the ball flies off your forehand side, so it's great not just for switching between the two but also for that half-volley-ish backhand long shot from mid-distance right after a forehand drive. I also tried L pips and a harder sponge, but for some reason they were hard to use - a regular soft sponge with M pips ends up being the most ordinary and yet the best combination. Everyone tends to be strong moving side to side, but surprisingly a lot of people are weak moving forward and back. If you have a powerful forehand drive but a weak backhand, definitely give this a try. I guarantee at least a 20% jump in your win rate.

The pips are aligned vertically, and it's a bit soft.
The receive is really easy to do, and if it goes well it leads straight to a point.
But if you hit back a reverse sidespin ball, it just goes "pong" and flies off (maybe I just need more practice?).
I'd recommend this for long-pips players who focus on attacking.All Speed Spin Control

It's a rubber that's somewhere between short pips and long pips. If you look closely, the pips are just taller than a normal short-pips rubber. This is also the rubber Ai Fukuhara used on her backhand. The sponge color is red.

The knuckle-ball short is easy to do with this.
The variation is somewhere between short pips and long pips.
It's probably best suited for the backhand side.All Speed Spin Control
