NO.1 table tennis review site

The good thing about this rubber being tacky was that the ball doesn't drop on counters — that part was great.
The disappointing part was the high price.

My blade is an H2, so I was looking for a rubber from Nittaku that would suit it, and this is what I found. I currently use it on the backhand.

Some people say it lacks character or doesn't generate much spin (a low ceiling on spin amount), but stick with it and you'll find its strengths. Like a certain reviewer, Gobu◯nzu-san, said, this rubber really does live up to the idea of getting power out of a small amount of effort.

This review is about the backhand, but I found it to be a rubber that lets you take the initiative right from the receive.
The stability on chiquita is one thing, but a push after cutting the ball tends to go straight into the net the first time you try it. In backhand-to-backhand exchanges it's true you don't get huge power, but if you can relax your arm and control the swing with spin, you can dominate the rally without making many mistakes. Also, the sheet is dull in a good way, which makes countering and flat hitting really easy. As someone who's counter-oriented, that alone earns it high marks from me. It does take some patience to get used to, but I can definitely recommend this to anyone whose backhand gets overpowered by opponents.

I thought this would sit in the same category as Dignics 05, but it's completely different. The spin is insane and it's fast too, but the ball only goes in a straight line.

Borrowed this from a friend.
Like the YouTuber said, this is a rubber where trying hard actually works against you. If anything, you get good shots when you don't put in much power.
But the moment you put power into it, it's no good at all.
Personally I like to swing hard and put everything into my shots, so this didn't work for me.

I've used a lot of Nittaku rubbers, but this one is unlike anything I've tried before.
In basic forehand and backhand drills, the ball keeps landing deep on the opponent's side during rallies.
With topspin drives, you get a powerful drive plus great extension on the ball, so the opponent just can't return it.
It's truly an innovative rubber.
For serve spin and against backspin, if you load up before hitting, you get a beautiful arc - it's amazing.
