NO.1 table tennis review site

This rubber is a good substitute while 09C is in short supply.
Compared to it, the sheet is a bit softer and the sponge is a bit harder, giving a crisp, solid feel like a Chinese rubber.
The sheet grips really strongly, so it won't bounce much on a light swing — its resistance to losing counter-drives is outstanding.
The spin on loop drives is also tremendous, to the point where it might even beat 09C.
That said, if you don't swing all the way through, both the topspin drive and the chiquita drop off against backspin, and it's not a rubber that runs on a light impact,
so I think players who move well and can swing properly will rate this very highly.
It also cuts serves and short game shots sharply and doesn't fly off on its own, so I can recommend it for penhold loopers too.

If you don't really grip the ball, you won't get a good shot.
The topspin drive gets better the harder you swing it.

I think this is a great fit for the backhand of players who like to hit with a solid impact.
The spin is obviously more than good enough. If your contact is half-hearted, it won't fly much, but there are actually situations where that works in your favor. Stops and pushes are also quite stable.

It flies more than I expected. Stops are easy to do.
Drives and chops are more than good enough

Overall, I think this rubber needs a good, solid impact to work well. I have a habit of tensing up a lot when I hit, and with soft rubbers that often makes the ball drop, but this rubber turned out to be just the right level of firmness for that. In fact, you could even say that tensing up actually produces a better ball with this one.
Hitting against backspin is easy since it's slightly tacky
Also, the short game techniques over the table are easy even without much strength.
The downside is that it's hard to use without a solid impact,

I've tried a bunch of different rubbers - D09c, H3N (prov), C53, D05, and more. This rubber is incredible. It's not quite as fast as a true tensor rubber, but it comes close. It's easy to loop with, and the spin performance is outstanding, outdoing rubbers like H3N and D09c. It also holds up well in backspin rallies, and you can put away winning shots easily. I tried C55 too, but I prefer C52.5 for its softer feel and easier control. I'd recommend this rubber most to advanced attacking players.
