I used this as my first short-pips rubber. Right from the start I could handle the short game fine. I was also glad it produced knuckle balls well. I could chop a bit too. But maybe it's just because I'm not great at putting spin on the ball, spinning it was hard for me.
Still, I think it's a good rubber.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Bought it since the new blue color came out.
I used it on the forehand, and it lifted the ball more than I expected.
The S1 wouldn't lift the ball like this, so I really felt how much of a difference a sponge change can make.
I used to prefer the Impartial XB, but I think this one might actually be easier to use once you get used to it.
Receiving had some tricky moments compared to the first time I used the Impartial XB.
Also, I think one drawback is that the feel of the ball isn't as direct as with the Impartial XB.
Serves seemed to produce about the same amount of spin as the rubber I compared it to.
Overall, I think this is a good, all-purpose short-pips rubber.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

In a word, this isn't Spectol.
With all the latest technology packed in, it's much easier to get spin on, plus it now has a satisfying sound and bounce - it's evolved into a modern rubber.
Gone is the old image of a hard, peaky rubber that was hit-or-miss depending on the player.
So does that mean "this isn't Spectol, it's a downgrade"? Not at all - I can say without hesitation that it's completely improved.
You get knuckle balls and speed, and the topsheet grips the ball well so it's easy to loop too. It really packs in everything you'd want Spectol to become.
I think this short-pips rubber is worth trying on the backhand at least once. Personally, this is the one rubber I'd call the 2021 "rubber that transcended its own contradictions."All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

Flat hitting was very easy with this. Even when I backed off the table, the ball would fly with a nice arc. Chopping was also easy, but the rubber felt on the firmer side, so the short game seems a bit tricky. Blocking was stable as long as I actively hit through the ball myself.

It doesn't inherit the topsheet of Red or Blue - the pimple shape is closer to the original.
It resembles Spectol more than Red or Blue do.
It feels like it carries over the original's easy spin and knuckle balls well, but compared to the original it has less slip and slightly stronger grip? Just a bit, though.
For those from the Chack generation, it feels close to applying Chack booster once or twice to Spectol in terms of bounce and usability.
It doesn't have that tension-rubber feel or the intense bounce you get from slathering on a ton of Chack.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
