    It grabs the ball a lot more easily than Shoryu did.
    I feel like it's more stable too. The way the ball comes off feels closer to a tension rubber...
    And in black you get that Blue Sponge... it really gets me hyped lol

    I got a good impression from how easy it was to chop, catching the ball high and cutting down on it.
    That said, the cut doesn't seem to bite that well. It really shows that tacky-rubber character of needing to brush the surface to get spin.
    I could tell myself that my pushes weren't spinning much... though a deep, knuckling push has its own nasty effect.

    Serves spin decently, I'd say. But if you've used a harder tacky rubber before, you'll probably feel it's lacking.
    Surprisingly, long serves were pretty good though.

    It doesn't feel much like a typical long pips rubber, but it's reassuring because you can control the depth and height of the ball easily.
    As for spin reversal (honestly, since we switched to plastic balls, I do wonder if that effect even does anything anymore lol),
    there's basically none... it feels more natural to generate your own spin by swinging through.

    Pushes get decent bite. But since Long 3 exists in the long pips world (lol),
    picking this rubber just for pushes feels like the wrong call.
    Even just tapping the ball gets it in reliably, so I'd recommend this to players who just want to chop and grind it out.

    User review

    I'd used Chop 2 before, so I was shocked at how hard this one is...
    Going with the thick version was the right call. I think something like extra-thin would be a bit too extreme.

    The bounce is moderate. I chop without backing off much, and there were cases where the ball didn't lose speed, catching my opponent off guard. It really is easy to produce knuckle balls, and easy to switch between shots even on reflex swings.
    You can also produce sharp chops without any problem.

    It does grip the ball, so pushes bite well, and I'd recommend it to choppers who like to add variation.
    If you smash it hard close to the table, you can ignore a bit of spin, so I think it would suit players who attack by flicking with short pips on the backhand.

    Finally managed to get my hands on one. But I just couldn't get used to the hollow, clacky feel, lol.

    I think the depth of the chops and the level of control are both good. The bite would rank as good.
    Chopping with short pips on the backhand also feels nice. The maneuverability is high.

    Attacking also has more solid bounce than I expected, and you can put away winners. But,
    I guess it's the fate of a thin-plywood chopping blade - the clacky sound and that hollow feel really bother me...
    Especially when I want to hit a fast drive, there's a slight delay before the ball comes off the blade. Still, it's better than the Defplay.

    I think it's a good blade that suits a wide range of skill levels, but it just wasn't for me.

    User review

    It's a Japanese-made tacky rubber, but the sheet has almost no tackiness.
    If anything, it's oddly smooth (lol)
    The sponge isn't that hard, but the sheet is really hard. It doesn't deform easily.

    Serves, the short game, and loops actually spin surprisingly well, but once you get used to modern rubbers, you won't be able to use this one anymore.
    If your swing isn't fast, you won't get much spin, and control becomes difficult too.

    It might be good for choppers who don't back off too far from the table, but I don't think there's any other type of player who could make good use of it.
