    Softer pimples give more spin but are often not fast enough.
    This has been overcome via High Tension technology, which adds enormous tension within the rubber's molecular structure.
    Raystorm provides great control & great spin, while the High Tension adds that speed you've missed.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    This rubber is characterized by exceptional spin performance for an inverted rubber, earning support from beginners to advanced players. However, it feels limiting for aggressive players seeking speed and knuckle shots.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Top-class spin among inverted rubbers, easy to cut and loop drive with
    • Feels like backspin rubber with easy handling for beginners
    • Excellent control properties suitable for fine play and defense
    • Difficult to produce knuckle and speed shots, limited attacking power
    • Multiple mentions of high pricing
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveGenerates spin that belies its inverted rubber classification with no slippage whatsoever. Additionally offers reliable angle shots and knuckle shorts.
    ▽ CriticalLacks the characteristic nasty knuckle and fast-tempo speed shots typical of inverted rubbers. Not a rubber that generates easy points, requiring technical skill to maximize.

      Month of the cutter thousand (Experience: 6〜10 years) Easy to chop with

      Reviews by user

      I use this for chopping. It can attack too, but what's really amazing is the heavy chop. Since it's a spin-oriented rubber, I think the control is on the higher end among short pips rubbers.

      Kaolin Even for short pips

      Reviews by user

      Even though it's short pips, you can put a ton of spin on the ball. On the flip side though, it's harder to produce the nasty knuckle balls and that fast, sharp "smack" speed shots that short pips are known for. It's definitely an easy rubber to use, but it's not the type that just scores points on its own. I'd recommend it for beginner to intermediate players learning technique, or as a rubber for advanced players.

      Yutchi @ cut Senrei got softer

      Reviews by user

      This feels like a softer version of the Senrei. The spin is really excellent, and unlike inverted rubber, you barely see the spin drop off as it wears, which is a nice bonus. It's like the Senrei made more attack-oriented and more all-around capable, but of course choppers can use it too, so if you're a short pips user, it's worth trying - you won't lose anything by it!

      Taka-chan The essence of short pips

      Reviews by user

      This was my first high-tension short pips rubber, and it turned out to be quite easy to use.
      The spin performance is good too, and I liked the moderate bounce and ball touch.

      You can hit it with a feel similar to inverted rubber, plus you can still throw in the knuckle balls that are unique to short pips,
      so you can mix knuckle balls into a normal topspin rally, which I think is effective.
      As for speed, it's not just fast off the racket - it also stays fast and skids through on the opponent's side, so it feels quite fast overall.

      Passing of junior high school students Easy to spin

      Reviews by user

      This rubber makes it easy to put on spin. It doesn't feel much like a typical short pips rubber. I'd recommend it to anyone using short pips for the first time.

      Lac The RayStorm (Experience: 2〜3 years) Easy to use with great spin

      Reviews by user

      It's easy to use, and above all, the spin is top-class among short pips rubbers.
      Even when chopping, you get solid spin, and it's also really fast when you hit hard.
