    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Plage V receives high ratings for speed and distance, with users particularly emphasizing stable drive play and consistency for meet-hitting styles. However, some users perceive differences from conventional rubbers like Allegro in rotation and control, indicating an adjustment period may be necessary.

    • Stable pushes that stay on the table
    • Suitable for attacking players using meet-hitting
    • Initial adjustment period may be needed
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveSpeed and distance were satisfactory. Pushes stay on the table, and I reached the top 4 at the All Japan Large Ball competition within six months of switching.
    ▽ CriticalInitially, the rotation power of serves and drives decreased significantly, and it took time to develop a feel for gripping the ball.

      Reviews by user

      I'm using max thickness on the forehand side of my Chinese penhold.
      I used to use Allegro, and my first impression of Plage V was that the ball comes off much faster.
      When I asked my practice partner, they said the ball leaves the rubber quickly, and after bouncing on the table it has extra extension, so overall the shots are faster.

      Control-wise, Allegro seems to have the edge. Since switching to Plage V I feel like I've been making more careless mistakes, but I think that just takes getting used to.

      E.J. (Experience: ６〜１０ years) The first blue for large balls!

      Reviews by user

      This is the first blue topsheet rubber for large ball. By the way, the site's description says blue sponge, but it's actually a yellow sponge. Probably because it's made for large ball, there's no ITTF approval mark.

      It has vertical pips, small and spaced fairly wide for a large-ball rubber, in a spin-oriented layout. The sheet is close to V Large L3 or Jewel Large.
      The maker doesn't list a hardness rating for the sponge, so I don't know the exact number, but it's on the harder side.

      Speed and spin are both well balanced, and the topspin drive is especially easy to use, just like it claims.
      It takes a different approach from rubbers like Allegro or Royal Prince, which rely on overwhelming bounce for all-out angle attacks — this one has its own character.

      It's a bit lacking in standout personality, but it makes every technique easy to use all-around. Even coming over from hardbat, you can play with little sense of unfamiliarity among large-ball rubbers.

      If you can master using the topspin drive as your weapon, I think this rubber has the potential to take your large-ball game up a level.
      I want to keep using it and get the most out of it!

      Johnny (Experience: More than ２０ years) Great flight distance

      Reviews by user

      I mainly play with meet shots and angle hitting on both wings. I'm basically more of an attacking type than a defensive one. Until a year ago I'd used Allegro on both sides for about 10 years.
      Allegro made serves and drives easy and gave me a good sense of stability, so I was satisfied, but ① pushes tended to float and ② speed and distance felt a little lacking — those were my concerns.
      I also tried L Meister and Royal Jewel, but in the end I switched to Plage V.
      With Plage V: ① speed and distance were satisfying. ② I feel it's a bit less affected by changes in the opponent's serve spin compared to Allegro.
      ③ Pushes land properly on the table. ④ The spin on my serves and drives dropped quite a bit. ⑤ It took a while to get a feel for gripping the ball, and it took time before I could get a satisfying ball quality on drives and angle hits against backspin.
      At first there were a lot of negatives and I had my doubts, but I decided to switch because I felt ③ was something I needed.
      Thanks to that, I made the final four at the All-Japan Large Ball tournament held six months after switching. I don't think I could have done that with Allegro.
      I think this rubber is also easy to use for players like me whose style centers on meet shots.
