    User review

    This is the long-awaited soft-sponge version of Spipi.
    Used the thin sheet on the backhand.

    The amount of spin on chops is honestly ridiculous. It bites like crazy.
    It's also easy to absorb the opponent's power shots, and you can freely control whether you put spin on it or not, and how fast or slow the ball travels —
    I think it's a fantastic rubber for chopping.

    That said, since I've played inverted-inverted for a long time, this is probably just my own lack of skill, but my pushes didn't bite as much as I'd like.
    Still, it's very easy to control the placement.

    My personal complaints were with attacking and blocking.
    When attacking, maybe because the sponge is too soft, the ball release feels a bit sluggish, so it's not the easiest to put shots away.
    As for blocking, it really wasn't stable — the ball dropped short a lot, which was pretty stressful.

    The first time I hit with it, I was surprised at just how much it bounces. It bounces more than some mediocre attacking blades.
    The hitting feel is quite hard, so opinions on it will probably be split.

    Its performance on attacking shots leaves nothing to be desired.
    Chopping was a struggle to control until I got used to it, but as long as I commit fully to my own swing, I get plenty of spin on it and can absorb the power of my opponent's shots.
    But if I'm caught off guard or end up just grazing the ball, it pops off way too far...
    Honestly, the bounce is more than I can personally handle.

    I wouldn't recommend this to beginner or lower-intermediate choppers, but for intermediate-and-above players whose style involves returning topspin drives a lot from mid-to-far distance, it might be a good fit.
    The top ply is hard, so it seems like it would pair really well with long pips on the backhand.

    I normally use the Matsushita Offensive (93g). Everything below is basically a comparison with that.

    I got hold of a pretty light one at 87g.
    Given the weight difference, it feels quite different from the Matsushita, more than I expected.

    The feel on contact is softer, the bounce is toned down a bit, giving more stability.
    The grip is thicker than the Matsushita's, and personally it fit my hand perfectly.

    The balance point is closer to the grip than the Matsushita, so switching between shots is easier.
    On the other hand, the tip doesn't naturally rotate through the shot, so I feel like spin drops off a bit.
    Also, just like the Matsushita, depending on how you make contact it can suddenly fly off with a "pop," so you need to be careful.

    The balance between stability and the chop/attack balance is good, and I'm planning to keep using this one going forward.

    >Update
    After a week of use, since it's so light I sometimes had trouble generating spin or holding shots down, so
    I switched the forehand from VEGA Japan (2.0) to VS>401 (1.8).
    It went from 167g to 174g, which is still light for a chopping blade, but personally it's just right.
    Also, the "flies off on its own" feeling disappeared, and with the hardness now a bit firmer, it feels just right.
    Drives from far off the table are tough, but for everything else I think it's a pretty good match.

    I used this back in my inverted-rubber-on-both-sides topspin-drive days.

    It was a very well-balanced racket — slightly light, not too bouncy, and easy to generate spin on.
    Counter play close to the table in particular was really easy to do.

    Since it's an outer-ply blade, the feel is that of a special material, but if that doesn't bother you,
    it's a high-level racket I can broadly recommend to topspin players from intermediate to advanced.
    (That said, it doesn't fly off with that "boing" feeling like a normal carbon blade, so I'd really like wood-blade users to give it a try too.)

    First off, just looking at it, it really has that old-school tension rubber vibe - kind of nostalgic.
    If you forget to attach the included adhesive sheet, it curls up and you'll fail to apply it properly.

    I used the thin version on the backhand.

    The good points are how easy it is to put spin on and how hard that spin is to read.
    The maximum spin isn't as much as a tacky rubber or spin-tension rubber, but it's plenty (surprisingly so).
    Especially on the push, that feeling of the ball digging in and getting gripped feels great and gets addictive.
    It produces the trajectory typical of tension rubbers, and it's hard to tell apart from a knuckle chop.
    I think it'd be even better to put a tacky rubber on the other side to create more of a difference in ball quality.

    So I've written a lot of good things up to here, but I think it flies a bit too much to use on the backhand for chopping.
    No matter what, I just can't get used to that flying-away feeling.
    (And yet it's too soft and doesn't bounce enough for attacking)

    I actually have a better impression of it from using it on my forehand about 10 years ago in junior high.
    That said, for forehand use, I feel like these days there are better rubbers out there for the same price or cheaper, so I'm left wondering what the point of using this one even is...
    So that's why I gave it this rating.
