NO.1 table tennis review site

I'm using max thickness. Vertical pips, small and widely spaced, with a sheet similar to Jewel Large — this falls into the spin-oriented category among large-ball rubbers.
The sponge is 30° hardness, which is on the harder side for large-ball rubbers. It's built differently from something like Nittaku's soft, light-touch rubbers that fly for you.

As advertised, you can generate speed even from away from the table, but it takes technique and power. It's not the kind of rubber that flies on its own.
On the other hand, the short game — pushes, stops — and chopping are easy, since you can keep the ball under control while still putting spin on it.
Because it's on the harder side, players coming over from hard rubber won't feel much of an adjustment, but getting the ball to fly requires large-ball swing mechanics, angle, and technique, so this is really for intermediate-to-advanced large-ball players.

Unlike bounce-focused rubbers like Allegro, Royal Prince, Rinforte Power, or V Large L2, this is a rare balance-and-spin type among large-ball rubbers that favors spin and balance instead.
If you're focused on bounce, the speed will probably feel lacking. Personally I liked that it has more bounce than Jewel Large and lets you hit even when backing away from the table. Recommended if you like a slightly harder rubber that emphasizes spin and balance!
